The Olympic Suite is made up of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The artists chosen work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by the critics.
Ahmed Shababuddin trained at the Dhaka Academy of Fine Arts, later completing 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 and force.
