Bangladesh
Ahmed Shamsudohha, an avant-garde artist, has masterfully captured the captivating essence of Bengal's natural beauty, its idyllic panoramic vistas, the vibrant riverine existence, the bustling metropolis, and the everyday life in Old Dhaka. Moreover, he has sensitively depicted the harsh realities of flood-ravaged regions and the struggles of the working-class populace. Shamsudohha's art is a reflection of his profound social consciousness as he skillfully portrays people and their diverse social interactions, both in rural and urban settings, encompassing their joys and tribulations. Initially embarking on his artistic journey as a landscape painter, Shamsudohha underwent a significant transformation towards surrealism in the early '90s. His artistic evolution has been heavily influenced by renowned surrealist painters such as Salvador Dali and Boris Vallejo. While he frequently incorporates local motifs and elements into his works, his overall style and approach align closely with surrealism. Notable recurring motifs in Shamsudohha's oeuvre include representations of Kathgolap, a local flower, wooden easels, dry twigs, shattered clay pots, branches, delicate plants, and crystal balls. Figures are conspicuously absent in most of his paintings, replaced by a diverse array of abstract images that infuse his art with a unique and thought-provoking quality.
