Career
Major themes
Atia Islam Anne's work has been cited as "testament to a newly awakening consciousness among the female artists of Bangladesh", particularly her "Women and Society" series as a satire on the dominant, male myth and simultaneously an attack on the patriarchal system, in which women are viewed solely as sex objects.[4]
Atia Islam Anne's works are surrealistic and have a touch of fantasy, tinged with irony and humour.[1] Her work highlights the tragic conditions brought on by misrule and abuse of power, with a clear message of social criticism running throughout.[5]
Selected exhibitions
Between 1981 and 2009, Anne's work was included in over 60 group shows in China, USA, India, UK, France, Myanmar and Bangladesh.[3]
In 2009, she held a solo exhibition entitled Inauspicious Time, at the Bengal Gallery of Fine Arts,[5] described as " a satire on the dominant male myth and an attack on the hollowness of the patriarchal system where women are always sex objects."[2]
