Jahangir Hossain (Bangladesh)
Artist
Drawing and Water Colour Researcher This is Jahangir from Bangladesh, Especially work in Drawing and painting, My prime subject is man and nature. At first sight my canvases may seems to be normal representation of man and nature, but after a little concentration, it slowly reveals the secrets of my subject. I always try to work with the geometrical lines yet at the same time gives the feeling of space due to my use of subdues colors and specially the selection of ethereal white. I have been mostly preoccupied with women’s traditional figures of fetching water or tending to cattle in the villages. I also brought the images of [1] “rickshaw” [vehicle] in the old city with boy, as often seen even in the urban areas. I have done most of my paintings in color, as I felt that it best suited my mood and range of painting and that I could best represent feeling and emotions. In one of my painting I have brought in [2] three woman working and collecting water. [3] The Girl on the Road. The clothes were depicted by blue, red, yellow ochre, grey, umber and purple neat swirls of strokes. I believe that there is a lot of graceful poetry and rhythm in the manner in which women work in the villages of Bangladesh. I would like to combined realism with abstraction. The white pigment is not just a color to me its breathing oxygen the vibrant sunlight and the innocence of the Mother Nature and it’s in habitants. One visiting a forest or any other dense vegetation may get the feeling of complexity, uncertainly and a sense of insecurity. I also seem to find solace and attachment to this wilderness, at the same time attracted towards the white sun ray filtering through the dense green, sound of the tropical rain and the movement of rain drops of the lush green leaves. This feeling of happiness evoked me to hope for a beautiful world of harmony.
