Asif Hoque
Bio
Asif Tanvir Hoque is a Pratt Institute graduate who lives and works in Brooklyn. As a Bangladeshi immigrant who was raised in South Florida, Hoque combines aspects of his multicultural identity both figuratively and stylistically in his work. His paintings portray muscular figures moving in ethereal, atmospheric settings. These heavenly scenes are filled with nude bodies jovially gracing the canvas, embracing each other in intimate entanglements. Drawing from his Bangladeshi ancestry, Hoque is interested in Eastern representations of the human figure. Working with conventions of idealized corporeal forms from Ancient Greek art, Hoque infuses his own personal identity, while conjuring a contemporary utopia of contented lovers and romantic interactions.
