[From Abinta Gallery] Abinta Gallery of Fine Arts Dhaka is pleased to present an exhibition of New York based artist Firoz Mahmud and his few distinct yet interrelated bodies of paintings. Developed throughout his practice in last few years, these large-scale Layapa Stencil paintings, mixed media on paper and drawings speak directly to Firoz's continued exploration of history, narratives, myth, and belief with his unique stencil techniques oil painting on asymmetrical shaped canvases and rough-hewn edged heterogeneous media based work on paper. Reanimating Bengal's historical past and collective memory of sociopolitical factors, personification to abstract concepts of Zamindars of Bengal, objects, motif, places and historical texts. The works have quondam roots as storytelling and artistic devices, and most of Firoz's works have traditional fables or narrativity with varied techniques and materials used. In his paintings and paper works Firoz uses idioms of backstories - such as old palace, fort, mansion, spice tree or herbaceous plant, tiger or skeleton of tiger, owl and symbolic shape of owls, blessing of the fairy, citizens, colonial trade and more. He revived links of British Raj-era, 1905's Partition of Bengal, East Pakistan Era and connection of independent Bangladesh with his own signature style.
