Tareque is the fifth among seven siblings. By his father's career, his childhood and early life span in Thakurgaon, Rajshahi and in Dinajpur district. [2]

His early education began in the village's school. After completing school exam from Rajshahi Collegiate School in 1986, he studied Dinajpur Government College. In 1987, he admitted studying Printmaking in Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Dhaka. [3] He was graduated in 1994 and after finished post graduation in 2000 from the faculty.

Works

The birth of art is in the deepest part of the brain death is also there. An art piece is the skeleton of art. In the sells market, art is not sold, the skeleton of art is sold there. The buyer builds up his own taste by buying art pieces. A child creates art in order to prove its existence. Without expression, it has no other way to prove its existence. With the growth of age, its fact of expression grows more. According to the clash of different opposite fact, the child gets attracted by different social rules & regulation, in addition to that, sexual role or the recreating power which is to preserve the existence or creativity hides his spontaneous form of expression. Social existence becomes like his own existence when he feels that he and the society are the different forms of the same existence, he is the unit of the society, his creativity becomes spontaneous again. Abstraction is not a style. The soul of art is found in abstraction. The extremely delicate angle of vision creates abstract art or breaks down the temporary impenetrable wall. God is the symbol of loving urge, sexuality is the proof of creativity.

[8]

Tareque is mainly a printmaker. However, he did numerous work in the several mediums including oil, water, and acrylic, but he mostly on the mix-media. [9] Tareque's earlier works highlighted nature, structure, figures, sketches, and portrait became the subject of his paintings. His portraits and figures are considered as semi-realistic and often surrealistic or impressionistic. [10] Most of his paintings have vibrant colours, and the backgrounds are moving is dominant. Initially, multivariate fragility noted in his paintings that often reminds the artworks of the Fauvist artists. [11] Paul Klee's painting are often remembered when analyzing the space and intention of Tareque's painting "Antarer Anusandhan" and "Naree Banam Naree". [11] Tareque has often used the Arabic alphabet and the use of words in the art of painting. [10] Tareque has tried to create own art form mainly by synthesizing different doctrines of paintings rather than a specific one. There is a logical appreciation about the life of artist Tareque in the opening words: "God is amorphous, inactive, and absolute emptiness, religions are the historic events for the human society, which increasingly becoming history. Those who have a lack of knowledge of history are either religious, maybe anti-religious, or antipathetic." [2]

In 1994, two of his solo exhibitions were organized. [5] "Joy Manabata" is his first solo exhibition which was held in May 1994 with Alliance Française in Dhaka. [12] Most of the 42 paintings of the exhibition were the subject matter of the human. Where the human form has been depicted in the form of Durga, Nomad, Ravana, Ullas, etc. Some paintings of Tareque, who believe in the Evolution theory, are found in the resemblance of the non-human face with the human body, through which he has expressed his desire to illustrate the ugly image of the human. [9]

In 2009, he participated in the group exhibition held in Mumbai, India. [2] He got acquainted [3] with the illustration of book covers and literary magazines, dissiging of clothing, etc. [6] [13] In Bangladesh, he tried to turn the traditional illustrations of the book covers into modern art. [5]

In 2015, Tareque took an initiative to create an artists hub and launched a gallery Studio 6/6 at Mohammedpur, Dhaka, [14] when the co-founder was his daughter Taiara Farhana Tareque.

For instance, Chakma cinema from Bandarban, Garo cinema from Sherpur, Meitei and Sylheti cinema from Sylhet, Chatgaiya cinema from Chattogram. These regional cinemas play a crucial role in preserving and promoting the linguistic and cultural heritage of the country. The dominant style of Bangladeshi cinema is melodramatic cinema, which developed from 1947 to 1990 and characterizes most films to this day. Cinema was introduced in Bangladesh in 1898 by the Bradford Bioscope Company, credited to have arranged the first film release in Bangladesh. Between 1913 and 1914, the first production company, Picture House, was opened. A 1928 short silent film titled Sukumari was the first Bengali-produced film in the region.
