Subtle prints in sombre colours

Exhibition at Bengai Gallery

Fayza Haq
A print exhibition, comprising the works of students and teachers --who were guest participants — was recently held at the Bengal Gallery'. This was the result of the classes held by Professor Sen and Professor Barua from Santiniketan at the IFA last month. Most of the works are in black and white or monochrome but they all reflect skill,
imagination and dedication.
Shubho Shaha’s work brings in leaves, ferns, blades of grass and an unfurled net at the back. This is in black, white and grey. Mohammed Iqbal presents a scmi-clad angel. She has sculpted figure, beautiful face and long hair. The angel appears to be sitting and waiting. Tuli Mandal's untitled intaglio bnngs in a woman's hands holding on to what appears to be a piece of silver jewellery. The print includes
her hands, shoulders and part of her neck.
Parvez Hossain's untitled lithograph has a leaping unicorn, with swishing tail and a trailing mane. It is in turquoise, with spots of black at the back. Nahid Rukhsana's print brings in two birds that are billing and cooing. The work in brown and black is very realistic, as each feather has been worked upon in detail. Sabbir Ahmed's "Untitled", etching, aquatint, has a still life of vase with leaves, and chopped apples scattered in front.
Muniruzzaman Shipu's "Amar Japan", intaglio, presents Mt. Fujiyama at the back, tall electric poles and a figure with a cap and coat. This is done in sketches of short, grey lines. "A tale of a river" by Mona Mahmud depicts two figures whizzing about in what appears to be a space ship or a giant walnut shell. The humans are surrounded by a scalloped wave of water, while all around are pink high-rise buildings. Ujjal Prabha's work introduces figures with triangular and rectangular faces held up in a background of more geometrical shapes.
"Untitled" by Arifur Rahman introduces a hut surrounded by lush trees an d shrubs. This is in black and white. Kamruzzaman's "Untitled" has a nude woman with long hair falling in front, with bangles at her wrists. She appears to be just getting up from sleep. Sadekh Ahmed's untitled lithograph has swirls of black and red presenting a rickshaw. Yellow-ochre is also included in the picture of the resting rickshaw-puller and his vehicle.
Nasreen Begum's lithograph "Sea girl" has a young woman with beautiful features that include her face and neck. Seashells and other underwater creatures surround her curly hair. The untitled work by Ranjit Das has a woman fixing her hair. This is done in splashes of black on white. Sheikh Afzal's grey and white lithograph depicts a beggar and her child, seated on a footpath.
Abdus Sattar's "Face", lithograph, has a traditional beauty with
delicate nose, cupid lips, gazelle eyes with heavy jewellery at her neck. Dainty boats, swinging fishing nets and ripples of water are to be found in Farida Zaman's "My country". Abdus Shakoor Shah
depicts his traditional woman — with a bird perched on her head — from the folklore.
Although using a minimum of colours, the exhibit was delightful indeed.
