Murad Mumtaz

Exhibiting Artist

Murad Khan Mumtaz is a Pakistani artist and researcher trained in the traditional practice of Indian miniature painting. As small acts of remembrance, his paintings meditate on traces of local cultures that are disappearing in the globalized landscape of contemporary life. As a direct response to his scholarly research, Murad's recent work uses painting methods and techniques associated with Hindustani painting. He has immersed himself in a traditional iconography, creating images of devotion that find expression through contemplative landscapes and figures of saints and ascetics. Murad is an assistant professor in the Art Department at Williams College.
