Even before becoming a sculptor, he gained recognition for his watercolor and acrylic paintings in the late 1960s. Zainul Abedin, the founding father of Bangladeshi modern art, acclaimed and encouraged Khan for his watercolors. His watercolors are characterized by abstract expressionism and predominantly on the subjects of natural landscape and human figure. For his contribution to sculpture, Khan was awarded Ekushey Padak, the second-highest civilian award in Bangladesh, in 2006. In a career spanning over five decades, his works have been exhibited and installed in Bangladesh, South Korea, India, and the United States. (en)
