Imran Mir (Karachi, 1950–2014) was an artist, sculptor, designer, and advertising creative. He graduated from the Central Institute of Arts and Crafts (Karachi) in 1971 and later studied at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Upon returning to Pakistan in 1978, he introduced a bold visual language grounded in minimalism, modernism, and early experiments with computer art, challenging critical norms and exploring radical ideas of color and form. He co-founded the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture and contributed to the creation of Karachi’s first Museum of Modern Art. His legacy endures in his experimental spirit and lasting influence on contemporary art and design in Pakistan.
