Priti Ali (1986-) is an ardent follower of pure abstract expressionism, who is now quite active in Dhaka art scene. Her paintings are very much connected to humans’ affection, ecstasy, anguish and isolation. She is an emotionally charged painter and she draws what she feels from the core of her soul. Her paintings can be explained in many ways where one can find the touch of mysticism; some can get the taste of harmony, melancholy or despair. In her paintings, one feels the lament of a lonely soul, an underlying sorrow or a feeling of bareness. As an intense onlooker, Priti’s manipulation of forms, sprinkled patterns and cognizant brush strokes create a language simultaneously natural and contrived.
