Poppy Painting

A simple word for the painting Poppy Fields is ‘illuminating’. An abstract acrylic painting that pulls the eye into a field of scarlet dots atop scraggly lines of the stem-like black, it feels that one is running into a bursting landscape of crimson and orange. The poppies grow tall, they grow short and they grow all around, gently surrounding the viewer’s gaze and taking it over. Every poppy highlights the battle at Flanders in starbursts of colours as if born from a canon mouth, while their delicate strength is depicted by the solitary lines of individual poppies. High on a bright and sunny bed A scarlet poppy grew And up it held its staring head, And thrust it fully in view (Jane Taylor, The Poppy) In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below (John McCrae, In Flanders Fields) It is Jafar’s vision that converts an English symbol of sacrifice into a universal reminder of grief and regeneration. The poppies rise like plant spirits, trailing like a firework’s tail until they burst into mini heads of blood-red spots. The blue lines from above offer the sky’s nourishment; they draw a curtain to past conflicts and invite one to contemplate the flower fields in their symbolic, surreal, cruel and startling beauty. They illuminate our idea of war, birth and time as only art can. Saiful Islam "Poppy" is a field of reflection in many years of experience that explores our inner souls into the art form. It took many years to complete. Most of my work usually takes about 15-20 years and this painting was not that exception. I try to emulate my everyday activity to understand life and my surroundings then turn that into an art form using colour and brush on canvas. This painting is the result of that process. "পপি" বহু বছরের অভিজ্ঞতার মধ্যে প্রতিবিম্বের একটি ক্ষেত্র যা আমাদের অভ্যন্তরীণ আত্মাকে শিল্পের আকারে আবিষ্কার করে। এটি সম্পূর্ণ হতে অনেক বছর সময় নিয়েছে। আমার বেশিরভাগ কাজ সাধারণত প্রায় 15-20 বছর সময় নেয় এবং এই চিত্রকর্মটিও এর ব্যতিক্রম ছিল না। আমি আমার দৈনন্দিন ক্রিয়াকলাপকে জীবন এবং আমার চারপাশকে বোঝার জন্য অনুকরণ করার চেষ্টা করি তারপর ক্যানভাসে রঙ এবং ব্রাশ ব্যবহার করে এটিকে একটি শিল্প ফর্মে পরিণত করি। এই পেইন্টিং সেই প্রক্রিয়াটির ফলাফল।
