The Art Centre

Every one of us has the power to create love, especially in this time of pandemic.

 
Storyline:
The artist represents love and connection in a creative manner through his artworks. This isolation in the pandemic has made our connection loose with our closed ones. We have lost loved ones and cannot meet and interact with others. Hope is the key to living out these troubled times. Hope to see each other again. Hope to meet each other. Hope that things will be back to normal one day. When we lose everything, only hope in life can help us.

 
About Artist:
Jahangir Hossain, born in 1964 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, has been self-employed in the fine art fields since 1982. He worked as a freelance artist throughout his life with the degrees of Masters of Fine Art from Institute of fine Arts, Dhaka University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. His painting style is western based and modern thus the artist has numerous exhibitions , both solo and group shows, in Bangladesh as well as abroad. The western figurative style of his work was mainly inspired from the Oxford Gallery in England. Having also done traditional work with modern techniques, till date he has participated in over 11 solo exhibitions and over 39 group exhibitions, selling thousands of paintings in his home country as well as abroad. This promoted him as one of the most sophisticated international freelance artists.

Jahangir Hossain’s interests lie in the relationships we have with one another and the environment in which we live. Through his art he aims to stimulate reflection on the human condition and the way in which we respond to the world around us. The pervasive influence of technology continues to divert attention away from personal relationships, conducted face to face in real time. His work explores this theme using the mother and child motif, as well as couples in loving embrace. The intermingling of forms, whereby one figure almost dissolves into the flesh of the other, expresses how dependent we are on one another for love, nourishment and comfort.
