Ayesha Sultana (b. 1984, Jashore, Bangladesh) lives and works in Lilburn, Georgia, USA
Formal and material experimentation are at the heart of Ayesha Sultana’s practice, concurrently working in different mediums and techniques, but with a specific interest in the features of materials she uses in the act of making. This leads to other ways of looking and engaging, in the relevance of formal properties of various materials and the depth of meaning of the medium itself. She completed her bachelor’s in fine art (2007) and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Art Education (2008) from Beaconhouse National University, Lahore where she also taught for two years, and is a member of the artist-run organisation, Britto Arts Trust in Dhaka. Sultana has exhibited worldwide in solo and group exhibitions and her work is in collections such as SFMoMA, San Francisco; Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Delhi; Devi Art Foundation, Delhi; and Tate Modern, London.
