He draws his inspiration from nature to project his desire for harmony and peace on richly textured canvases, which resonate with delicate, inwardly expanding applications of paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Ghiyasuddin has consistently displayed a refined urban sensibility which is at home in any international environment, he has put a premium value on expropriating colours, motifs and themes that typify the essential Bengali aesthetic. His early works employ bustling colours with rich tonal variations and bright visual fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 20 years ago, he adopted a new style. At that stage he erased his earlier canvases by painting over them with white, light grey and light blue. He is concerned as peace wanes in urbanised parts of the world and believes that nature is the ultimate destination for peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGhiyasuddin's genre of work is abstract, with finely sketched figures or objects on the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431398392044,"sku":"9788857210636","price":156.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857210636.jpg?v=1774557900"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-contemporary-masters-of-bangladesh.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
