Bipasha Hayat is a New York-based contemporary Bangladeshi artist, whose diverse practice spans drawing, painting, and installation.

Obtaining an M.F.A in Drawing & Painting from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, Hayat’s artistic journey has evolved to incorporate unconventional materials such as cardboard, Muslin fabric, welded wire-mesh, and stone, among others.

Hayat’s work interrogates the 'unseen' realms of the subconscious, and sources inspiration from her upbringing in Libya, and the lingering echoes of Ancient Roman civilization. Bipasha weaves together personal elements from her own life and memories with ancient cultures. From her early explorations in abstraction to more conceptual inquiries, exemplified in her series like Memoirs, Subconscious Texts, and Embodied Memories, Hayat’s  trajectory reflects a continuous evolution of experimentation. Her inclination towards monochrome imbues her creations with a sense of archaeological discovery, hinting at historical narratives and the passage of time.
 

Hayat's artistic achievements include: Honorable Mention Award for her piece Memoir at the 17th Asian Art Biennale Bangladesh in 2016. In 2023, she was awarded a prestigious fellowship from The Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts, and serves as an alumni member of the NYFA Immigrant Artist Program.

Hayat's works have been showcased in gallery and museum shows worldwide, with solo presentations held at Bengal Gallery, Gallery Chitrak, and Art Summit in Dhaka, 3B Gallery in Rome, LVS Gallery in Seoul, and Transform Gallery in New York.
