Fayza Haq
In aid of the cyclone Sidr affected children of Kuakata an art camp was held at Kuakata at the end of February 2008. Participating were known artists. Their works were exhibited at Alliance Francaise and Drik Gallery under the title "Resurrecting Kuakata". At the end of the exhibition an auction was held. The sale proceeds of which went to charity.
Among the paintings were those of Ranjit Das, Md. Eunus,Tarun Ghosh, Kazi Salahuddin Ahmed, Sheikh Ahsan ullah Mojumdar, Dominic Gomez, Mahbubur Rahman. Tayeba Begum Lipi, Nazia Andalecb Preema, Ronni Ahmed, Kazi Sayed Ahmed and Sarkar NahidNiazi Nipu.
This was a fantasy in pink, white, black and indigo bringing in wild creatures in flight against a pink and white sky. Ranjit won the Grand award in the 7th Asian Biennale in 1995. He has 19 solos and 70 group exhibitions to his credit.
Md. Eunus's painting is an art work that presents a combination of geometrical shapes -- rectangles stretching for left to right Tiny touches of red, blue and yellow relieve the expanse of gray and black. His major awards include a prize from Dubai, UAE In 2005. the Shilpakala Best Award in 2005, Grand Prize in Tokyo in 1989, Best Award for Abstract from Georgia Interna tional Miniature Art Competition in 1991.

Kazi Salahuddin Ahmed's "Urbanization” which dealt with old Dhaka also contributed to the exhibition with its bright rhythmic colours of oranges, yellows and greens. He disorganises and displaces elements to bring a new
order He combines the inner world with the awareness of the place he lives in.
A flow of brown — intermittently touched with blue and orange -- is seen in Sheikh Ahsan Ullah Mujumder's expanse of while in "Revealing the peace Apart from winnlhglfintertla-tional and 31 national awards, including seven gold medals for painting and sculpture, he has recently won the Commendation Award in "Berger award for Excellence in Architecture."
Dripping streaks of gray, yellow and black are found in Dominic Gomez's "On its own accord." Dominic taught art and art history in the US, and now heads the Fashion Design at a local private university.
Mahbubur Rahman's "Black princess from Kuakata" is a fanta-
sia of tulips, birds and human figures, specially women in black veils. Actual human dolls with tulip motifs on them are included in the composition. He has received around 17 National and International Grants and Awards.
