Exhibition Opens | Salman Toor: No Ordinary Love
2023-02-23 10:00 - 20:00 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
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

RSVP for this program
Vanessa Gillette Wyland is a writer and art historian based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Earning her MA in art history from the University of South Florida, she currently seeks a PhD with an emphasis in colonial Latin American art. She aspires to teach and publish at the university level. With a background in global early modern studies, she is drawn to cross-cultural translations of material culture and to the tensions, contacts, and identities born from colonialism.
Nicole Zambrano is currently an Art History MA candidate at University of South Florida. Born and raised in Miami, FL to Colombian parents, her research is focused on the relationship between art and politics. Nicole uses art history as a tool to learn from the past in order to promote a more equitable society. Her ultimate goal is to make art spaces a safe space for difficult dialogues and to implement activism into the curatorial process.
Mia Dean is both an art historian and private consultant based in Tampa, Florida. Recently earning her MA in art history from the University of South Florida, Mia has had her master’s thesis published in FSU’s Athanor XXXIX and is currently an adjunct professor for art history at the University of Tampa. With a primary focus in the conjunction of abstraction and museum studies, Mia aims to re-enter the institutional sphere and promote critical development in visitor experience alongside contemporary interventions on traditional curatorial approaches.
