Md Tokon More 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

Budd Hopkins was one of the leading proponents of the "hard-edge" abstract minimalist school of painting in the 1950s and 1960s, Budd Hopkins (born 1931) created works that show the strong influence of Jackson Pollock and other leading painters of the Abstract Expressionism movement. Hopkins' paintings are now in numerous major collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the Hirshhorn Collection in Washington, DC.
Recently, he has also been recognized for his research into the matter of UFOs and one of his books, "The Intruders", printed by Random House, was on the New York Times best-seller list and was the basis for a television show on CBS.
Born in 1931, he is a graduate of Linsly Military Institute (now Linsly School) in 1949 and Oberlin College in 1953. He first displayed artistic abilities when, as a child recovering from a long-term illness, he began to create sculptures of ships made out of modeling clay. But it wasn't until he arrive at Oberlin that he made a serious study of art. Later, Hopkins included abstracted figures in his sculptural pieces. While moving away from Abstract Expressionism, Hopkins retained in his work the use of intense colors and hard-edged forms. His works of the 1980s, including Temples and Guardians, featured these "sentinels" who were, according to Hopkins, "participating in a frozen ritual, fixed – absolutely – within a privileged space..." Though Hopkins denied any connection, some critics viewed these ritualistic pieces as an extension of Hopkins' fascination with alien beings. Hopkins viewed his sculpted guardians not as human per se, but as magical, fierce, noble robots of the unconscious.
He settled in New York after obtaining his degree and has had a residence there ever since. He and his wife, April Kingsley, and their daughter, Grace, divide their time between their home at Cape Cod, Mass., and that in New York City. In his work, he travels widely. He has exhibited in England, Finland, Italy and Switzerland.
In 1963, Hopkins was selected by the Columbia Broadcasting System as one of the 15 painters featured in the network's first television special on American art. In 1958, Art News picked him as one of 12 Americans for exhibition in Spoleto, Italy, in the "Festival of Two Worlds."
His brilliance has won him a number of fellowships and awards. In 1972, the West Virginia Arts and Humanities Council awarded him its Commission Prize. In 1976, he received the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship for Painting and in '79 he received a fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts. He also won a special project grant from the New York State Council on the Arts in 1982. He was friends with Robert Ryman and many of the other 10th street avant garde artists. He was an original member of March Gallery which showed Alice Baber, Elaine de Kooning, Mark di Suvero, Lester Johnson, Matsumi Kanemitsu.
His work was handled by Poindexter Gallery. (a major gallery founded in 1955 in New York City by Elinor Poindexter. The gallery specialized in sculpture, abstract, and figurative art and featured the works of such artists as Richard Diebenkorn, Jules Olitski, Nell Blaine, Al Held, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Earl Kerkam, Milton Resnick and Robert De Niro, among others.
His art has been featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Bronx Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, Whitney Museum, Corcoran Gallery, Guggenheim Museum, Queens Museum in New York, and the Public Library of New York. He was included in Young America 1960: Thirty American Painters Under Thirty-Six buy Lloyd Goodrich at the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC.
