Syeda Marium Gulshan Hossain (Bengali: সৈয়দা মরিয়ম গুলশান হোসেন; born 16 September 1962)[1] is a painter and installation artist based in Dhaka, Bangladesh.[2]. Her work has been exhibited extensively.[2]. She currently serves as an Assistant Professor of the Department of Painting at University of Development Alternative[3], Dhaka and is a member of the International Miniature Art Society of Florida, USA[4][5]

Training and painting style

Gulshan started her career as a self-taught artist[6][7]. It was only later that she started attending numerous workshops and pursued a BFA degree from Dhaka and later a MFA Degree from Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, UK.[8]

As per the Daily Star, her paintings are inspired by the early 20th century art movement of Post-Impressionism combined with the philosophies conveyed in the Postmodernism movement[2].Her subject matters typically encompass nature, history, human sentiments and sociopolitical issues[2]. She has experimented in printmaking, collagraphs, monoprints, solar plate etchings and silkscreen[2].

Effects of life experiences on her work and frequent subject matters

As per the Dhaka Tribune, Gulshan's background and early life experience influences her work greatly[7]. She was born into the Syed family[7] and many of her family members were the victims of the 1971 Liberation War[7]. As noted by the eminent art critic and journalist Fayza Haq[9][10], all these have resulted in the artist frequently choosing the Liberation War, human trauma, old architectures or abandoned mansions as topics of her work[11][7][12].
