Exhibition Opens | Salman Toor: No Ordinary Love
February 23, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 8:00 pm
On view February 23, 2023
Salman Toor: No Ordinary Love features more than 45 paintings and works on paper made between 2019 and 2022, that weave together motifs found in historical paintings with recognizable 21st-century moments to create new worlds based in Toor’s imagination. Toor (Pakistani, b. 1983) lives and works in New York City, but grew up in Lahore, his birthplace in Pakistan. Shaped by these viewpoints, Toor’s artistic practice explores his hopes and anxieties about the queer experience in both his ancestral and adopted countries. Throughout his work, Toor blurs sensual pleasure with satire and mines his deep knowledge of the European, American, and South Asian painterly tradition.
This exhibition is organized by the Baltimore Museum of Art
