Salman Toor 1983年出生于巴基斯坦拉合爾，目前在美國紐約工作生活。他以創(chuàng)作小型具象繪畫為人們熟知，擅長將專業(yè)技巧與速寫風(fēng)格相結(jié)合，以柔和的畫面描繪現(xiàn)實(shí)題材，以此反襯出人與人之間的疏離感，反思日益嚴(yán)重的種族歧視問題。圖爾的人物擺脫了外界的強(qiáng)加于人的生硬感，相比之下，他更為柔和的畫面突出了傳達(dá)懷舊或疏離感的被動時刻。從總體上看，圖爾的畫作考慮了當(dāng)代公共和私人生活中的脆弱性，以及在古怪，流散的身份背景下的社區(qū)概念。反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的調(diào)色板和對藝術(shù)歷史的引用增強(qiáng)了圖爾繪畫情感的影響力，并從他的生活經(jīng)歷中為他的敘述增添了夢幻般的元素。
