Jahangir’s art interests lie in the relationships we have with one another and with the nature in which we live. His artworks explore various figures which translates in sometimes a mother and child, as well as couples in loving embrace. Though sometimes exotic, he tries to define emotions, making his artworks rather stylish than realistic. Remaining featureless but still shows the strong emotions and the hidden expression his figures go through. Through his art he aims to influence a single message: we need to love in order to survive. Hossain essentially seeks to question where the true path to happiness lies. He encourages us to celebrate values which are of global as well as individual benefit, with the importance of love and the need to respect ourselves, each other and the environment providing the thematic undercurrents of his latest series of work.
