Description

In May of 2022 I was invited by the social purpose organisation Friendship to visit the remote and isolated islands of Bangladesh that are suffering through flooding due to climate change.
On the small island of Porar Char I saw how Friendship and the local community had built a raised village that enabled the people to live above the flood level in comparative safety.
I wanted to capture this relief as well as any other emotions and I thought that asking a child, in this case Jakir to draw his house as he saw it now would provide me with raw undiluted emotion which ultimately I wanted to show in my painting of Jakir.
In my painting I replicated Jakir's drawing in the background adding some colour. I wanted the painting to say "Friendship will provide you with the pen and paper, you draw your future and we will help colour it in"

Concept

I paint in the style of realism and I paint those who live on the very edge of society. I am inspired by artists such as Caravaggio and Goya. I want to use my work to raise awareness of issues such as homelessness, mental health and poverty. I want my work to scream.

FAQ
Does this art work need a frame?

In many cases, art works with a canvas stretched over a wooden frame can be displayed as is. Thin art works other than canvases are easier to frame. For any questions or concerns please chat us.

Are there other sizes for a similar type of artwork?

A Depending on the artist, request consultations are available. For any questions or concerns please chat us.
What kind of hardware should I use for hanging the artwork?

If you are concerned about repayment costs, such as when renting a house, wall pins and hooks that do not leave noticeable hole marks are available at major DIY Store and art supply stores.

If you want to hang a canvas with a hook, a hook type with a long hooking surface, such as a V-shaped type is recommended.

If there is a string on the back of the canvas or the back of the frame, you can hang it with a pin type that has a short hooking surface.
