His singular style involves time-honoured folk motifs and Bengali ballads. For over five decades, Shakoor has been persistently experimenting with newer modes of expression. His compositions are natural in essence, as they relate to the world of human experience, and take their strength from human feelings and emotions. Following the folk-traditions of Zainul Abedin, Quamrul Hassan, Jamini Roy and Qayyum Chowdhury, the prominent features in Shakoor’s paintings include the Mymensingh Geetika (ballads), Mahua and Malua love stories, Nakshi Kanthar Math and motifs of peacocks, parrots, elephants, bulls, cats, tigers, serpents and lizards. Shakoor’s compositions are bordered with free-flowing thick brush lines. His style has been compared with prominent European artists such as Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee. In terms of the composition, his sketches retain only the bare essentials, sometimes employing just a brief line to cover for a whole figure. Yet, they are immensely expressive. He draws his inspiration from progressive ideologies and sublime symbols. The kerosene lamps and lanterns are symbols of a developing country’s poverty, struggle and hope, along with windows and doors, suggesting the need for pulling down oppressive social machines, are common in his paintings. In spite of the strident optimism that, at times, gives his sketches a rough edge, there is a genuine human touch in Shakoor’s world.
