The trivial things of a household have been portrayed with great significance in artist Tasadduk Hossain Dulu’s artworks for his
solo exhibition at the Bengal Shilpalaya.
The exhibition titled ‘The Body and Soul of the Insignificant’ features 53 artworks.
Artist Tasadduk Hossain Dulu has successfully created surprises in his artwork through simple yet compelling depiction of insignificant things in his sixth solo.
Small plants; curtains; chairs; paper clips; flower vases; dolls; combs and other apparently insigificant household materials deliver diverse stories in his acrylic series titled ‘Surface and Inside the Surface’.
The painting titled ‘Surface and Inside the Surface-3’ gets a strange façade as it depicts a cat behind a curtain adjacent to the painting.
Another artwork of the ‘Surface and Inside the Surface’ series also portrays a curtain with several folds; however, the innocent looking curtain creates a paradox for the viewers of the painting as a poisonous snake looking like a cord is emerging from those folds.
Painting number seven from the same series on the other hand exhibits an official looking chair situated at the very corner of a room. The artist has adroitly made a contradiction in this artwork as he has placed a flimsy object like a tiny clay bird on this highly official looking chair.
Dulu’s drawing series depict his keenness and passion in upholding the trifle objects in a majestic manner. Drawing 2 and 6 respectively depicts a few paper clips and kitchen appliances like spoons on a brown cutting board. These drawings are sure to generate a soothing feeling inside the viewers.
Inaugurated on April 02, the exhibition will remain open for everybody from 12:00 to 8:00pm till April 13.
