Tokon’s style has reflected the art of American Abstract Expressionists. Md Tokon spent his early years in Jhenidah and Dhaka. He studied at The Institute of Fine Arts, Dhaka University and moved to New York City in 2001. He obtained his B.A. in Art & Communication Design at The City University of New York. Also He practiced many years painting at The Art Students League of New York under Ronnie Landfield, Mariano del Rosario & Larry Poons.
A prolific painter, Md Tokon started to paint when he was very young and continues to produce remarkable paintings in New York City. One can easily detect a mature and skillful painter by the way he/she navigates space and handles the medium. The physicality and immediacy of his paintings are inspired moments of deep reflection; they transport the viewer to a place neither here nor there, a timeless place beyond the horizon.
