Ali Akbar

Exploring both large- and small-scale paintings, Ali Akbar utilizes texture, shadow, and an "excavation" technique to create multi-layered surfaces that are reminiscent of landscapes, moonscapes, aquatic worlds, and the open Texas sky. His works focus on the relationship of shadow and light. Ali Akbar is a native of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and has exhibited extensively in his homeland as well as in the United States. He is a graduate of Southeastern Oklahoma State University and Dhaka University, and recently attended a fellowship residency program at the Vermont Studio Center.
