Page 67 - GENTLE GRASS by Anisuzzaman Faroque

S. M. Saha Anisuzzaman Faroque
was born in Moheshkhali, Cox’s Bazar,
Bangladesh in 1993. An emerging visual
artist who mastered himself as a sculptor, his
representational and sketchy portrait
modelling with clay is one of his outstanding
skills. In his practice, line drawing plays
a vital role which he picks up from the
urban lifestyle which he incorporates in
his creation of postmodern sculptures.
Anisuzzaman received his Bachelor’s
degree in 2015 and completed Master’s
in 2018 at the Department of Sculpture,
Faculty of Fine Art, University of Dhaka.

exhibitions including Qingdao Invitational
Art Exhibition, China; Young Artist Art
Exhibition, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy,
Dhaka; Asian Art Biennale Bangladesh,
National Sculpture Exhibition, Bangladesh
Shilpakala Academy; Taiwan Annual 3rd,
AVAT. Anisuzzaman has achieved numerous
awards including ‘Sculpture Best Award’
at the 21st Young Artists Art Exhibition
organised by Bangladesh Shilpakala
Academy in 2018 and ‘Experimental Best
Award’ in 2017 at the Annual Art Exhibition
