| Shah spent his formative years under the guidance of the distinguished artist Rashid Choudhury, in the University of Chittagong. Later while studying in Baroda, India, the revivalist ideas of K G Subramanyan influenced him deeply. Shah’s style of using folk art in a succinct post-modern backdrop is inspired by the works of Jamini Roy, Quamrul Hassan, the Gujrati Jain miniatures and pata paintings of Bengal. His works have been widely exhibited. Abdus Shakoor Shah taught at the Faculty of Fine Art, University of Dhaka. |
