An awareness of the subtle presence of nature with all its intertwining patterns of light and shade permeates Nadvi’s work. With elementary colours, sometimes working with shades of the same hue, he creates an illusion of wide space with simple brush strokes. His minimalist reading of common objects often collapses dimensions to catch nuances rather than the object’s fullness. Actively involved in the Liberation War of 1971, Nadvi never gave up his belief in nature’s ability to guide us and be a source of strength in times of struggle. After graduating from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Nadvi completed his master’s degree from Baroda, India. He served in the Bangladesh National Museum and the Shilpakala Academy, with important contributions in the Asian Art Biennale. |
