Peaches and Cream
This painting depicts a prancing horse in an abstracted and impossible space. As if guided by the figure's movement, the lush and curving cloudscape delicately caresses the figure. This painting expresses emotional intelligence and masculinity through its elongated curves and soft gaze—revealing an unexpected tenderness. Vibrant yet gentle, the artist’s compositions challenge our preconceptions of identity, gender and the body.

③ Artist:
Asif Hoque paintings are creolized sagas, combining fragments of his Bangladeshi heritage with his life in Italy and the US. The artist’s composition and use of paint are deeply informed by his fascination with the classical arts. Hoque’s autobiographical and mythological works create in-between spaces that merge the contemporary with the ancient—as they address the vulnerability of multi-cultural identity.
