Bangladeshi artist Khurshid Alam Saleem is holding an exhibition of his recent paintings in Beijing. In his current series, he aims to capture images of nature. Strong brush work and bold color schemes define the highly abstract work of Khurshid Alam Saleem. He derives inspiration from nature, as well as human relations with nature. His spatial distribution is geometric, and he divides his compositions into crowded planes of color.A palette of deep red, yellows and blues applied in thick overlapping layers defines his technique.Wan Jiyuan, vice director of China Int'l Exhibition Center, said, " The trend towards modern elements is vividly present in these paintings. His work is mostly an abstract synthesis with a new take on the classical style. Vibrant, elementary colors are delicately applied and integrated in a modern form."Born in Bangladesh in 1951, Khurshid Alam Saleem moved to New York in the mid eighties. His art highlights modern aesthetics, while still upholding the decorative rustic charm of traditional Bangladeshi art.
