A feast of colours, lines and objects

Spring Art Festival at Samatata

Fayza Haq
At Samatata's recent Spring Art Festival one saw 80 paintings and two sculptures, which included the works of well-known artists like Aminul Islam. Murtaja Baseer, Samarjit Roy Chowdhury and Rafiqun Nabi. It was a display of many styles like realism, impressionism. surrealism and abstraction.
Murtaja Baser's Feeling-3 is a pure abstraction in shades of yellow ochre, white and grey. Composition, watercolour by ArninuJ Islam is AaJmpu^a „ sionistic piece, which'could be taken for bursung white and blue blossoms. Kalidas Karmakar's Face, acrylic on paper is a thought-provoking representation of a woman s portrait in squiggles of blue. brown and black.
Raining cats and dogs, acrylic on canvas by Abu Taher, is a combination of tiny cubes of multicoloured objects set on a pale grey backdrop. Nature by Abdus Satter brings in birds at play with a wriggling snake in the background. This is in sweeps of pink, blue and ochre. Fish under water by Samarjit Roy Chowdhury is an oil on canvas that has startling underwater images in blue and brown hues. The row of old rickshaws set against trees and buildings has interesting play of light and shade in Dhaka, city of memories.
’ Ifone a^erffdqportraits, there is Ranjit Das' Woman and basket that depicts a graceful Hill Tracts woman, seen against an orange and purple sky. Land and water masses, seen through a bird's eye view are found in
Abul Barq Alvi's From nature, a fest of cubes. Jamal Ahmed's Horse, acrylic on paper, depicts the subject in powerful sweeps of grey and brown strokes.
Golden meadows, black boats, tops of trees and a hazy sky present an idyllic scene in Ahmed Shamsuddoha's Mustard field An embracing couple is seen in Mohammed Eunus' mixed media piece. Motiur Rahman's Old Dhaka with its narrow lanes, crammed houses and rickshaws is a romantic piece with delightful colours. In contrast is Golam Farouque Bebul's surrealistic piece. Fragmented Irnage-2, with its geometrical forms. Delightful in its curling lines and choice of colours is Nisar Hossian's Drawing.
Iftikharuddin Ahmed’s preoccupations with compasses and buildings arc seen in his acrylic on paper
Composition, which is in washes of bluish grey and black. Mohmmed Mohsin's Nalure-2 is an enigma in colours and lines. Rashid Amin's array of lines and triangles bring Yellow-Day-3. Samiran Chowdhury's single flower in a garden brings in harmony and peace in Searching for beauty.
Trees, oriental birds and a woman in a brown saree are brought in Nazib Momammed's Woman and bird. Clumps of bamboo trees and cows are seen in Safin Omar's Landscape, a watercolour. Nazmun Nahar Runty's Sorrow and happiness-^ is another idyllic creation from nature in swift strokes.
Modern and contemporary trends are seen aplenty in this display.
The exhibition ends today.
