Bipasha Hayat is a New York based contemporary Bangladeshi artist, working across drawing, painting, installation and other various medium.
After her accomplishment of M.F.A. and B.F.A. in Drawing & Painting from University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, she eventually translated her work into cardboard, Muslin(fabric), memorable objects, welded wire-mesh, stone, etc. Her works capture a sense of the ‘unseen’ and the subconscious mind. Inspired by her upbringing in Libya and the surrounding remnants of Ancient Roman civilization, her work uses a unique and personal artistic language that draws from her own life, memories and travels.
Her experiments continued from Abstraction towards more conceptual forms, as in the series Memoirs, Subconscious texts, Anthology of torn memories, Embodied memories(installation), Unearthed, Cast My Vote for Socrates’ Acquittal, StoneTime and etc. She tends towards monochrome, creating a stronger analogy with the concepts of archeological find, ancient historical evidence and Time. She believes in social contributions through Art.
Bipasha has exhibited in groups in many galleries and museums around the world, including in solo presentations in Bengal Gallery of Fine Arts and Gallery Chitrak Dhaka, Dhaka Art Summit, 3B Gallery Rome, LVS Gallery Seoul and Transform Gallery New York. She won the Honorable Mention Award for her work ‘Memoir’ in the 17th Asian Art Biennale Bangladesh in 2016. She is one of the leading playwrights and actors of Bangladesh who has received many awards, including the National Award in acting.
