Abu Hasnat
Abu Hasnat energetically explores colour texture and shape through a variety of mediums and surfaces giving his work a very distinct style. His adventurous use of different, sometimes unexpected and unusual materials makes his work daring and visually absorbing.
Abu explores potential relationships and connections between various objects, shapes, textures, materials and colours. His paintings demonstrate a strong understanding of colour, texture and material as he moves quickly and with a confidence to create with a fluidity and motion. Even areas that are produced in a short amount of time still have depth and energy. He works on two levels: at first his work may seem slightly random, however when the viewer takes a closer look they can often see the thought that has gone into the finer details, creating wonderful tactile moments of surprise.
