Dulu's World |

The art of painting traditionally depicted noble and glorious themes or persons and objects of veneration. It is only in the modern times that we find petty and insignificant sides of our everyday life being depicted in the mainstream art. Our own doctrinal art did not encourage humor or sarcasm as such, through the lighter side of the commonplace life was often reflected in what in known as folk and popular arts or the so-called `minor’ arts where artists had more freedom of choice. This imperious viewpoint began to change in the 1970s when the myth of university in art. Which was most apparent in abstractionist works, was put to question and a new trend of object-oriented art began to flourish. The post-modernist viewpoint of popularity in all spheres of creative activity and its assertion of accommodating the trivial and the indigenous in them helped such expression to be widely used in contemporary art practice.
Tasadduk Hossain Dulu belongs to a new genre of the younger art activists in Bangladesh in whose works manifestations of such applications could be seen. Many of these artists have changed their mediums of expression and have shifted to such contemporary idioms as installations, performances, videos and sight-specific arts, which are commonly labeled as conceptual art. Dulu has struck to the traditional painting in oil and acrylic and his paintings could not also be termed `conceptual’ as such. He looks at his surroundings with an inherent wit of his own paints whatever he sees around his household with tentative strokes of his brush, What attracts one to his paintings could be identified as his very different angle of looking at petty objects of our own everyday life and an air of light humour, which he bestows upon them. Though some of his works tend towards a narrative pattern, in majority of his paintings Dulu use single or simple images or objects and surprises one by his sense of minute observations, yet child-like and casual renderings. When one penetrates deeper into those images and gets into the metaphorical messages behind the trivial object and the apparent wit, one finds them more refreshing and exiting to observe and study.
