With his departure, Bangladesh loses not only a master artist but also a guardian of the Liberation War\u2019s spirit, etched forever in his sculptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamiduzzaman Khan was a monumental figure in the country\u2019s artistic landscape. His works\u2014timeless and deeply patriotic\u2014narrated the saga of Bangladesh\u2019s struggle, sacrifice, and victory. From &#8220;Jagrotobangla&#8221; in Ashuganj to &#8220;Sangsaptak&#8221; in Jahangirnagar University, and &#8220;Unity&#8221; at the Bangladesh Bank premises, each sculpture stands as a silent sentinel of our collective memory and resilience. His artistic contributions transcended mediums\u2014from acrylics and oil to stone and bronze\u2014each infused with meaning, history, and profound emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s cultural and intellectual identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May his soul rest in eternal peace. His art will continue to live, breathe, and speak to the hearts of our people\u2014forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HerNet Fine Arts mourns the profound loss of one of Bangladesh\u2019s most distinguished sculptors, Hamiduzzaman Khan, who passed away at the age of 79 after battling dengue and pneumonia.
