Featured Artist, September
Sunil Howlader

Sunil Howlader’s stunning paintings combine the beauty of naturalistic representation with the expressive elements of abstraction. Oftentimes a single painting may transition between the realms of representation and abstraction. This is the style Howlader loves, known as semi-abstract expressionism, because it gives him the freedom to add emotions, feelings and ideas to what he sees.
 
Sunil expresses emotion through meaningful lines, forms and colors; he uses bold strokes, dabbles, and scribbles to represent the emotional activities of the psyche. His paintings of nature contain much symbolism, with water lilies symbolizing beauty, fish representing abundance, and horses depicting our struggle to achieve conscious or unconscious goals. Exploring subjects such as past and future journeys, Howlader uses white to symbolize the future, blue for dreaming (childhood series) and green for life.
 
In 1991, Howlader earned a Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A) from the Department of Drawing & Painting Institute of Fine Art at the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh. In the summer of 2000, he attended the International Artist-in-Residence program at the Griffis Art Center in New London, CT. He has received many awards throughout his career, starting in 1986 with the "Class Best" for Pen Sketch during the annual exhibition at the Institute of Fine Art, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. In 1989, he won "Honorable Mention" in watercolor at the Painting & Photography Exhibition of CARDMA, in Bangladesh.
