Touhin HasanTouhin Hasan captures beauty; but he carefully manages to avoid sentimental frills in his paintings. This is evident in his colors – lots of gray, earth, black and white, and his geometric treatment of figures. The result creates a soothing and relaxed mood on the canvas. Touhin’s works invite the viewers to rediscover the romantic in them. All the same, it would be wrong to think that he has only a romantic potential. In fact, his works are not entirely

devoid of cruelty or agony, but Touhin with his magic paint brush is capable of presenting them in a different, mellowed fashion. So when it comes to art for pleasing the eyes, Touhin can be considered as one of the forerunners to give this to us.

Touhin Hasan exprime la beauté tout en évitant les fioritures sentimentales dans ses peintures. Cela transparait dans les couleurs; du gris, du noir et blanc; et dans le traitement

géométrique des sujets qui donnent aux toiles une touche apaisante et relaxante.

Les œuvres de Touhin invitent les spectateurs à redécouvrir le romantique en eux mais pas seulement.

En fait, ses oeuvres ne sont pas entièrement dénuées de cruauté ou d’agonie, mais Touhin est capable de les présenter sous un angle différent.

Claude Levi-Strauss, the French social anthropologist who influenced generations of intellectuals with his ideas on culture and said the human species would become extinct, has died. His method, known as structuralism, reduced mythology and rituals to their basic components to find an underlying pattern. His theories on primitive societies held that the characteristics of the native mind are equal to those in Western civilization and that all communities’ functions using folklore based on opposites.
