M.A. Raihan (b. 1985, Dhaka, Bangladesh) is a visual artist based in Dhaka whose multidisciplinary practice spans text, photo, collage, video, sound, coding, and installation. He received his BFA in Painting from the University of Development Alternative, Bangladesh. While his academic background lies in traditional painting, Raihan’s creative journey evolved into Conceptual Art, driven by a deep curiosity for technology, experimentation, and alternative forms of visual expression.

Raihan is known for questioning conventional tools—such as printers, typewriters, and mobile phones—and repurposing them as mediums for art-making. His work explores the reconstruction and deconstruction of visual images and is heavily influenced by the cultural and social dynamics of South Asia.

His recent research investigates how Light and Sound can be used to transform, create, expand, amplify, and interpret physical spaces, focusing on the synergy between sound, visuals, and movement. His explorations include sound visualization, noise music, audiovisual interactive systems, augmented realities, and real-time graphic representations of sound and motion.

As an artist and researcher, Raihan continuously experiments with glitch, pixel sorting, data moshing, and noise manipulation, crafting emotionally resonant experiences that challenge traditional notions of image and perception.

He is always open to collaboration and conversation—so if you have ideas you think would suit his practice, don’t hesitate todrop him a line.
