HerNet Fine Arts mourns the profound loss of one of Bangladesh’s most distinguished sculptors, Hamiduzzaman Khan, who passed away at the age of 79 after battling dengue and pneumonia. With his departure, Bangladesh loses not only a master artist but also a guardian of the Liberation War’s spirit, etched forever in his sculptures.
Hamiduzzaman Khan was a monumental figure in the country’s artistic landscape. His works—timeless and deeply patriotic—narrated the saga of Bangladesh’s struggle, sacrifice, and victory. From “Jagrotobangla” in Ashuganj to “Sangsaptak” in Jahangirnagar University, and “Unity” at the Bangladesh Bank premises, each sculpture stands as a silent sentinel of our collective memory and resilience. His artistic contributions transcended mediums—from acrylics and oil to stone and bronze—each infused with meaning, history, and profound emotion.
He was not only an artist but a teacher, a mentor, and a symbol of unwavering dedication to the fine arts. As a recipient of the Ekushey Padak and a Bangla Academy Fellow, his legacy is woven into the very fabric of Bangladesh’s cultural and intellectual identity.
We at HerNet Fine Arts extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, painter Ivy Zaman, his family, the Dhaka University Faculty of Fine Arts, and the wider artistic community. Bangladesh has lost a national treasure whose hands shaped the very soul of our nation into forms that will inspire generations to come.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. His art will continue to live, breathe, and speak to the hearts of our people—forever.
