Scene: Anisul Haque’s solo art show underway in China

Promising Bangladeshi artist Anisul Haque’s second solo art exhibition, Scene is underway at X Space Art Space, Guyilang, Nanjing in China. Following the artists first solo exhibition, Unfortunate Aspect of Humanity, held at the School of Design Art Gallery, Nanjing University of the Arts, China held this January, Scene was inaugurated on December 6.

The current exhibition highlights different human identities based on religion, culture, nationality and more. “Though mankind is the best creation in this world, people are gradually losing their humane qualities, and gradually becoming violent to each other. That’s why I create my artworks on the unfortunate aspects of humanity,” says Anisul Haque.

“Sometimes we fail to think what would happen to others when we become inhumane to them. I believe that artists can help awaken the conscience of people against injustice. We all have to work together to keep peace and prosperity in the world,” adds the artist.

Anisul Haque loves to work with contemporary stories focusing on contrasting themes like sufferings and redemption, grief and comfort. Taking porcelain as his forte, he continues to create sculptures that address social issues. “I combine ceramics with clothes to produce my works. The fabric’s textures help me express the unpredictable aspects of the present-day world,” says Anisul Haque, who continues to explore newer themes, celebrating cultural solidarity.

The artist is currently pursuing his higher degree in Ceramic Art and Design at Nanjing University of the Arts in China. He completed both his BFA and MFA from the Department of Ceramics, Faculty of Fine Art, University of Dhaka.                                                                                                                                   

This year, Anisul Haque has received several awards, including the Honourable Mention Award in the international art exhibition, Celebrating Mother Language in the Light of Art, held at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, and Shiwan Cup Youth Ceramics Competition Excellent Award, held at Guangdong, China.   

The exhibition is open till January 30, 2020.
