Alamgir won numerous awards for his
work, both in Bangladesh and India, and conducted numerous graphic workshops
in both countries during the 1980s.
Continuing a tradition of modern abstraction,
Alamgir works in the media of painting, Printmaking and mixed media works on
paper. Although specializing as a printmaker, the Artists methods and subjects
translate easily from one medium to another. Inherent in the work, and
important to its understanding, is the primacy of the traces and textures
of human graphic activity. As well as bold colors and formal compositions,
the works also reveal a subtle and sensitive geography of evocative textures,
hieroglyphic or ideogrammatic expression and gestural mark making. Meant
to address forms of communication, which are beyond language, at spiritual
And other levels, alamgir s work nonetheless
retains an immediacy of expression, which transcends and overcomes arbitrary
human boundaries.
