A Bangladeshi artist based in the US, his impactful work transcended
borders, resonating deeply with Bangladeshis worldwide. Known for his
sharp critique of misrule and injustice both in Bangladesh and abroad,
Chakrabarty has earned widespread acclaim for his powerful artistic
commentary.
The exhibition, titled 'July Uprising in Debashish Chakrabarty's Posters,'
opened on 7 January and features 20 of his selected works. It is currently held
at the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy and will conclude on 19 January.
Chakrabarty's works contain a distinct visual style—yellow highlights, black
shadows, and red midtones, all textured with a layer of artificial grain across
his posters, which has a dominant presence of the red hue.
With texts in vintage news-style fonts, the limited variation of colour created
a powerful aesthetic that resonated deeply with the public.
