Shahabuddin
Ahmed is a world renowned painter born in
Bangladesh in 1950. He studied at the Academy
of Fine Arts, later moved to Paris. He has
shown his works extensively across the globe.
In 1992 he is one of 50 Master Painters
of Contemporary Arts, an award bestowed
on him at the Olympiad of Arts, Barcelona.
The primary concern of his paintings is
to reflect the contemporary life and times.
He is an optimist and this is clearly expressed
in his paintings. This optimism was firmly
embedded in Shahabuddin when he has a youth
was involved in the Liberation struggle
for Bangladesh and had to face the various
facets of life.
He has the capability to overcome the constraints
of time and space. In their dynamism his
paintings depict fearless human figures
that cut through the difficulties of life,
which provide one the reason to live. The
vibrancy and force of his brushwork highlight
this aspect. Above all his compositions
are unmistakably musical and rhythmic. Shahabuddin's
figures seem to be enthralled in the cosmic
dance at times merging with the ethereal
forces.
His works are displayed in many galleries
across the globe including the Museum Olympic
Laussane, Switzerland and Bourn-En Brasse
Museum France.
