There is no doubt that one of the all-time best artists of Bangladesh is Shahabuddin Ahmed. The bold and prominent figurative compositions of the artist with his ideal use of sprawling space across the canvas provide the connoisseur's eyes with soothing retreat. Speed, dynamism and strength are some of the elements which Shahabuddin intertwines while portraying his creations. The tempo of his fast-pace brush strokes and vibrancy of shades with trailing wash of subjective settings instantly fill the viewers' minds with a sense of fulfilment and buoyancy that creates a special appeal. The artist's yearning for freedom from all sorts of oppression and injustice is one focal point of his subject. Being a freedom fighter during our War of Liberation, artist Shahabuddin still continues his relentless battle against social odds and irregularities; his most invincible weapon being the painting medium. The creations of Shahabuddin resemble some sort of mesmerizing musical note to fascinate the viewer's psyche.
