Md Tokon Art
Bangladeshi, b. 1978
Md Tokon's recent abstractions are based on color, darkness, light, and space. His work shares similarities with the lyrics of Bob Dylan and Rabindranath Tagore, which are simple, pure, and organic. The results are highly emotional, energetic, and sensational. Md Tokon loves color and the cities where he grew up. He learned about soil layers from his childhood and captured this style when his mother cared for their soil house wall. His destination remains unknown, but he is ready to walk on his land as long as he is not tired. Born in Jhenidah, Bangladesh, he grew up in a neighborhood that was not known for supporting artistic pursuits. But with his family's support, he soon realized his dream. As a teenager, he was inspired to pursue a career as an artist. When he was about 10, he created his first real painting. City life, the surrounding atmosphere, and social structure greatly influenced him. Throughout his work, he has been deeply inspired by layers of soil, light, surfaces, music lyrics, harmony, invention, monochrome, and minimalism. He developed a significant body of work that is often both poetic and pleasing to the eye, while also reflecting his diverse theoretical interests and extensive travels. He created an opaque, dense surface of substance and mass. At the same time, the paintings seem luminous as if building up the surface. He trapped the light within its layers, making his works highly emotional and peaceful.
His works are purely abstract and carry a strong touch of impressionism. His main focus is on bringing expressive colors and a melodious space to the canvas. In his work, he applies many layers of paint, using gesture, the breath of emotion, and an internal sense of color. His paintings depict stories of nature and human emotions and communicate in a mysterious way. Space plays a significant role in his works, sometimes interior space, inner space, or landscape. His works are closely connected to dreams and illusions. In his use of color, he exhibits a romantic concern for vivid, lively hues and soulful textures. All his paintings feature a significant abstract expression focused on conveying emotions rather than objects. His work can be described as "Lyrical & atmospheric abstraction." Md Tokon's works also offer insight into life and a spiritual attachment.
His most noted artistic influences are from abstract expressionism in New York. Most of these painters favored large canvases, dramatic colors, and loose brushwork. Their work inspired him and influenced his choice of style. He appreciates the action, freedom, power, strength, excitement, and especially the emotion that color and line can communicate.to
