As if guided by their movement, the lush greenscapes, with tangled vines and curving branches, caress the figures with a sense of intimate delicacy. Asif Hoque’s paintings express emotional intelligence and masculinity through elongated curves, soft gaze, and an unexpected tenderness. Vibrant yet gentle, Hoque’s paintings challenge our preconceptions of identity, gender, and body.
About Asif Hoque
Asif Tanvir Hoque (b. 1991) currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He has appeared in numerous group shows. As a Bangladeshi immigrant, who was raised between Rome and South Florida, Hoque’s paintings attempt to figuratively and stylistically combine aspects of multicultural identity.
His early work highlights his fascination with classical fine arts, but with the progression of his skill and his self-discovery, Hoque challenges his audience to explore aspects of self that are authentic. Hoque hopes to address the unique experience of living in the “in between”.
