Dawani Art Gallery - Untitled by Jamal Ahmed - JAAH-01

Jamal Ahmed, born in 1955 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is a distinguished contemporary artist known for his serene and nostalgic paintings that encapsulate the essence of his homeland. After completing his education in Fine Arts at the University of Dhaka in 1978, Ahmed further honed his skills at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and later at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. His mastery and academic involvement as a professor at the University of Dhaka have significantly shaped his career and contribution to the art community in Bangladesh. Renowned for his symbolic representations of local women, birds, and horses, Ahmed's artwork often carries mythical connotations. His works are celebrated for their unique blend of realism and impressionism, capturing the vibrant yet subtle dynamics of rural Bangladeshi life. The shimmering, mirage-like quality of his paintings invites viewers into a tranquil yet emotionally potent world. Ahmed's contributions to the arts have been recognized with the prestigious Ekushey Padak in 2019, the second-highest civilian award in Bangladesh. As an influential figure in the art scene, his work not only decorates numerous galleries but also inspires the next generation of artists through his teachings and leadership as president of Bangladesh Charushilpi Sangsad. His paintings, deeply rooted in his cultural heritage, continue to enchant audiences, offering a profound commentary on the beauty and complexity of Bangladeshi identity.
