All That Matters

“It is rare to find a painter who is able to bring to life the myriad subtleties of abstract expression, much less a sculptor – with solid, three dimensional, physical form to work – that has as much gravitas. In the exhibition Moving Spirits we can see the painter in Josh, working with skillful strokes on solid heavy surfaces of metal sheets using acid, sometimes paint, and sometimes both. Josh’s works emanate the captivating power of poetry, radiating from these seductive forms is a tale of beauty that knows no geography nor borders, that transcends language and culture, something universal. The ‘Run’ series is a testament to that creative instinct and the technical prowess of the artist, where the human figure literally flies from the reminders of architectural structures to heights exploring the power of line within form. Though early in his career, Josh’s works show surprising maturity. A genuine Bangladeshi artist with a truly global appeal to his works.”
