Description

Khadim Ali’s miniature painting work explores complex moral themes of good and evil, set in the anarchic civil war in Afghanistan, where ethnic and religious bigotry are means to an end. Khadim Ali interweaves past and present symbols — including the Taliban’s destruction in 2001 of the Bamiyan Buddhas sculpted by his Hazara ancestors — to explore coexisting layers of the experience of intervention and religious extremism in a world distorted by warped ideologies.
