The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The chosen artists work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio Lopez to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, through abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, or the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international renown, widely recognized by critics.
Ahmed Shababuddin was trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dhaka, and later completed his studies at the Ecole Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally. His work does not renounce figuration, and continues the research of the historical avant-garde on dynamism, vibration or force.
