A group art exhibition, titled Observation of Nature and Study, was inaugurated on Thursday at Drik Gallery, Dhanmondi. Department of Fine Arts, University of Development Alternative (UODA) has organised the exhibition
featuring artworks by 28 artists.
The theme of the exhibition is nature and its diversity.
In a recently held workshop, the participating artists had visited several sites in the country for inspiration. They have translated their personal observations, insights and understanding into artworks that are being displayed in the exhibition.
Teachers of UODA and also coordinators of the workshop Alauddin Ahammed and Shahjahan Ahmed Bikas have also participated in the exhibition. Other artists include Sagar Sen Gupta, Tania Tripti, Hasan Al Faridi, Mritika Saha, Fatema Akter, Nasib Khan, Arifur Rahman Topu, Saha Alam and others.
Arifur Rahman Topu’s artwork titled Mountain in the Background depicts green mountains and blue river under a clear, blue sky.
Md. Nasib Khan has managed to capture the serene beauty of Birishiri, a region in Mymensingh, through use of vibrant colours in his painting. Rural life, green horizon, breath taking beauty of the rivers and boats of Bangladesh have also been highlighted in Sagar Sen Gupta’s water colour painting, in which the artist has used flat-wash technique.
Tania Tripti’s work illustrates some boats on a shallow river. The wonderful colour combination of the artwork soothes the eyes of the viewers. Rubayia Saom Dina’s water colour painting in bright hues of yellow and emerald green skillfully highlights blossoming flowers.
A muddy road with rows of trees on both sides has been depicted in Saha Alam’s painting done in mixed media of water colour and pen. Vice-Chancellor of UODA, Dr. Emaz Uddin, said, ‘I am overwhelmed to see the beauty of nature being translated so wonderfully into these paintings. I take it as a pride.’
The exhibition ends today..
