Novel visions by young painters

Group Exhibition at Bengal Gallery

Takir Hossain
It is a good time for Bangladeshi artists, as more of them are carving a niche in the international art scene. Bangladeshi artists are now receiving international exposure and participating at various competitions. Nowadays, the scope for pursuing fine arts is much wider than ever before. Solo and group exhibitions are now a regular feature in our urban areas.
The ongoing group exhibition titled, "Colour of Time’’, at the Bengal Gallery is somewhat different. A number of promising young painters have participated at the exhibition. The themes are different and the participants have tried to focus on their individuality.
Abdul Aziz has a passion for portraying the female figure. Aziz, who encouraged a group of promising artists with his newfangled approach to the Oriental technique, is now trying to come to terms with realism.
Uttam Kumar is one of the cerebral painters in this group. As a painter. Uttam is a good observer of his surroundings and does not ignore dreams. The artist seems perplexed about the social and political situation in Bangladesh. The days, months and years are furnished with lots of unexpected and shocking incidents. Red, crimson, emerald green, azure, yellow and lots of other colours have been used on his canvases intimately and animatedly to indicate the uncertainty.
Shamim's canvases are lavish in abstract images of beauty and
truth. Wearing layers of washes of transparent colours, the canvases denote the beauty of nature. Shamim’s unarranged amiable colours give expression to his feelings and moods. The images of beauty form with his use of deep droplets, marked by the background of soft mild colours. His images cannot be
explained, onehas to feel it.
Combining vision and keen observation, Newton is in quest of splendour in nature to enrich his works. His lines, tones, textures -- in mild but bright colours — are derived from the surroundings and have evolved in abstract style. His recent works reveal his development in
1 1* □rid rVlW rr n^ fry-j f the use of colours and technique. He is still evolving but his works are admirably mature. The vibrant colours, unfamiliar forms and various geometric shapes clearly express his themes with synchronisation of mostly acrylic on paper.
Lovelu has incorporated the essence of folk culture in most of
$(p4 ?i y*3r1Tu j^^tpe 2! ?'^ i^i'V'L his works. A different aspect of pastoral life is his main concern. His works feature wood-carving with various metals and his recurrent motifs are female faces, moon, birds, fish, pitcher and lush foliage.
"Colour of Time" ends on September 18.
