Sana Ali

Born in  in Lahore, Pakistan in 1983, Sana Ali completed her BFA at the Beaconhouse National University in 2007. She moved to Providence, RI in 2007 to pursue an MFA in Painting at the Rhode Island School of Design.

Her work uses the built and the natural landscape as the backdrop for uncovering fissures in space. The experience of the city of Lahore, where all kinds of histories (architectural, social, political) overlap, and simultaneously renounce and harmonize with each other, trigger a play of push and pull in the work. Fracture and fragmentation, balance and harmony are some of the key concepts that she observes in her environment and translates onto the page.
