Noor Ali Chagani (b. 1982) was born and currently lives in Pakistan.
Chagani explores the ancient technique of clay brick making using kilns; he makes his own bricks in miniature size that act as units for his art objects. Just as in miniature painting, the small brush strokes are used to render and build the image – Chagani constructs his own walls with miniature bricks and paints them in similar fashion to the walls built around the private and disputed properties.
Trained at the miniature painting department of the National College of Arts in Lahore, Chagani is the first cutting edge contemporary miniature artist using the rules of miniature paintings in 3D.
Noor Ali Chagani was shortlisted for the Jameel Prize 2011. In 2012, Chagani was a guest resident at the prestigious rijksakademie in Amsterdam in 2012.
