HerNet Fine Arts is proud to celebrate Abdus Satter—a pioneer of Oriental art and printmaking in Bangladesh whose lyrical lines and layered compositions have shaped the visual identity of a generation.

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐉𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐘

Born in 1948 in Natore, Abdus Satter studied at the Faculty of Fine Art, University of Dhaka, and later earned his MFA from Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan, India. He deepened his expertise as a Fulbright scholar at Pratt Institute in New York. With a career spanning decades, he served as a respected professor in the Oriental Art department at the University of Dhaka, mentoring numerous renowned artists. His solo and group exhibitions have reached audiences in the USA, Japan, Germany, UAE, Egypt, Sweden, and beyond.

Satter is known for his refined Oriental techniques and poetic visual narratives. His work—often centered on female figures, symbolic nature motifs, and folk-inspired themes—blends meticulous detail with lyrical abstraction. He is equally adept in printmaking: woodcuts and etchings appear alongside expressive brushwork. His palette favors earth tones and warm textures, evoking timelessness and intimacy.

Abdus Satter is more than an artist—he is a cornerstone of Bangladesh’s art history. His work reflects the inner landscapes of a post-liberation nation, and his influence as an educator continues to echo in the works of his students. At HerNet, we honor his artistic rigor, poetic visual language, and pioneering role in shaping Bangladesh’s modern Oriental art tradition.
