AYESHA JATOI
b. 1976, PakistanAyesha Jatoi was trained as a Miniature painter at the National College of the Arts in Lahore (Pakistan). Her practice primarily explores the traditional manuscript’s symbiotic relationship between the image and text and the spatial division of these “illuminated pages”. In Jatoi’s work, text often frees itself all together of the image. While being immersed in local ancient aesthetics of iconography, she simultaneously questions the relevance of traditional modes of constructing images today; resulting in a practice which takes on hybrid forms.
