Syeda Marium Gulshan Hossain (Template:Lang-bn; born 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] all these have resulted in the artist frequently choosing the Liberation War, human trauma, old architectures, or abandoned mansions as topics of her work.[10][7][11]
