Drawing

Mahmud produced detailed drawings documenting human figures and animals. In the early 1990s, he had an art studio in a dilapidated building in a groceries market around Dhaka New Market area where he made numerous drawings of workers, labourers, vendors and slum-dwellers around the market. He mainly drew with pencil, pen and pastel on journals and sketchbooks which were also studies for paintings. Some of these can be identified as preparatory drawings for particular works, such as 'Evening twilight at Methor Potti (Poronto Bikel, 1997)', which he painted at Hajaribugh sweepers colony in Dhaka, 'Cooking for worker'(1997) and'Bookbinders'(1994).

Soaked Dream

Soaked Dream is an art project created by Mahmud in 2013.[20][10] It features drawings, sculptures, videos, and photos portraying the symbolic dream of colonial people, cross-border refugee families, immigrants, diasporas, exodus, deprived people and ethnic minorities who look for prosperity when arriving in their new location.[21] Mahmud arranges families of those communities, makes sculptures of metaphoric eyeglasses with the help of those families and creates photographs. The output of this project was a video of the Chimera project.[22]
