Widely considered one of the most prominent and original contemporary artists working in South Asia today, Rana explores constructs of media and identity, reflecting upon and critiquing the impact of globalisation worldwide whilst simultaneously exploring the local and competing influences of tradition and modernity in contemporary South Asia and particularly Pakistan.

"Already one of the key artistic figures to emerge from the South Asian context onto the international stage, Rashid Rana has produced work for our current show that points to really exciting new critical and formal ambitions – Lisson Gallery is thrilled to be working with him now into the future." (Greg Hilty, Curatorial Director)

An exhibition of work by Rashid Rana is currently on view at New Art Exchange until 31 March 2012.
Upcoming shows include a survey show in Karachi at Mohatta Palace Museum in March 2012.
