Artist Profile

Composition

Composition is a 2008 painting by Syed Abul Barq Alvi. Against melancholic earthy tones, he used his line drawings to bring out the tortured soul in us. His quiet personality becomes alive in his nuanced palate and leaves us with a hollow in our chest. The relation between space and void unsettles viewers and takes us in a space within space. It’s a song of bruised soul and a confession of a tranquil strength. .

Artist Art Style

Syed Abul Barq Alvi received his degree in printmaking and went on to explore the vast sea of art and paintings. The trauma of the liberation war of Bangladesh impacted his artistic style and expression deeply. Jumping between abstraction and organized chaos he revealed his excellency in carefully crafted geometry of landscapes with loosely juxtaposed organic shapes.
