Une oeuvre de Abu Jafar
Since 1989 I came to the United Kingdom to understand art and its language. Trying to find a way to explore my inner soul and reflect that into the artwork. Understanding myself and the vast world, same time depicting those on canvas is an unimaginable task. I began this work at my studio, Brockhall Village is set in the heart of the Ribble Valley in Lancashire amidst beautiful countryside north of England. A perfect place to concentrate on the creative cloud. It was in 1995 an Autumn cold evening feeling very charged by the creative mist I am in my studio (One of the old hospital's entire Building). It was a very dark night, snowing outside, I prepare my canvas and thinking of my journey. Listening to some classical music to turn on my creative mood to explore my inner reflection on the time, then with my brush stroke on the canvas, it is the reflection of my time and me. I continue to come back again and again to the canvas for more than 18 years. After a year and a half from Brockhall Village, I moved to London ACME Studio work continues I finally manage to finish this work in 2013 at my studio, Letchworth, just before my solo exhibition at the National Art Gallery ( Shilpokola Academy) Dhaka Bangladesh. It is the process and the time capsule that holding my emotion together and making the reflection of my inner soul is the essence of my painting. “Mist of the Twilight” is a metaphor that I believe is the true reflection of my painting and its story.
