Abdus Shakoor (born 31 December 1947) is a Bangladeshi painter and calligrapher.[1]

Early life and career

Abdus Shakoor was born on 31 December 1947 in the Bogra district of Pakistan (now Bangladesh).[citation needed] His work focuses on ancestral and historical themes, following in the folk-tradition of Quamrul Hassan and Jamini Roy.[2] Common themes in Abdus Shakoor's paintings include Bengali folk motifs and ballads; the "Mahua" and "Malua" love stories[1] (two romantic folk ballads from Eastern Bengal, dating back to around the 17th century, collected by Dinesh Chandra Sen in the 1920s and published in his Eastern Bengal Ballads)[3] as well as the Nakshi Kanthar Math. He has illustrated his works with folk-motifs. Peacock and parrots as well as elephants, bulls, cats, tigers, serpents and lizards feature prominently in his works.[1]

All of Abdus Shakoor's compositions are bordered with free-flowing thick brush lines. There is almost no hard line in the paintings. His style has been compared with European artists such as Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee.[citation needed]

He is chairman of the Craft Department in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Dhaka University.

Legacy

Among the awards Abdus Shakoor has won is a gold medal in the 15th National Art Exhibition at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, Dhaka, in 2002.[2]
