Painting exhibition 'Poetry of Darkness' by artist Rashedul Huda has begun at Alliance Française Dhaka (AFD). The inaugural ceremony of the exhibition was held yesterday. The exhibition will be open to all till March 7. Eminent artist Monirul Islam graced the occasion as the chief guest. Eminent artist Bonizul Haque, Dr A M Shamim, founder and chairman, Labaid foundation and architect and art critic Rabiul Hussain also attended the opening ceremony as the special guests.
Overwhelmed by the beauty within the mystifying dance of light, shadow and darkness, artist Rashedul Huda searches for the color of life. To him, this oxymoronic reality is woven in the manner dreams are woven. The darkness of evening creates layers of images, and life too seems to look for a meaning there as it goes on. Like a feather shed by a bird that has flown far away, there is a story conjuring up on every corner. Huda in his paintings moves amidst light, shadow and darkness towards the hope of a faraway light. He believes where there is warmth there is a new tale to be told and there is an untraded path for the onlooker.
Huda's canvases focus on the weal and woe of human lives from the perspectives of natural light and natural darkness of the day-to-day life. Consequently, the fundamental nature of light and darkness as well as the vintage style are amalgamated to bring up relatable compositions.
