| Known for his scholarship and critical thinking, Nisar Hossain has opened up the possibility of an alternative reading of art that overlaps our perception of living in the delta. Hossain’s art aims at democratising aesthetics using mundane, banal signifiers and making revelations. The artist graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts, Dhaka, and received an MFA from Visva Bharati, Santiniketan, India. Hossain teaches at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka. He has written and lectured widely on art. His works have been exhibited in many countries. |
