Four-day art exhibition concludes
The curtain fell Monday on the four-day solo art exhibition titled "Wayfarers of the Shadowed Path" by artist Masudur Rahman at NOOK Gallery in Banani.
The exhibition featured around 40 artworks in charcoal, oil, and acrylic- portraying nature, cosmos, existence, and void.
There was a live painting session on the second day of the exhibition.
Speaking to BSS, organizer and artist Masudur Rahman said he was delighted by the unexpectedly large turnout.
He said, "The audience has accepted my artworks very cordially and they asked me many questions about my work from their curiosity. I believe that, from an exhibition standpoint, it has been a very successful event. It's a matter of great joy for me."
Asked about his works, he said, "The title of my exhibition is 'Wayfarers of the Shadowed Path' or in Bengali, 'Chhayapather Pathikera'. The visual pattern of my work revolves around the concept of the infinity line or cosmic line."
Through these works, I attempt to explore the feeling of perceiving the universe from within the human body and to me, the galaxy and the human form are interconnected, he said, adding, "I sense a profound depth that binds the two together."
Narrating his art philosophy, he said, "I have my own galaxy, and I deeply value human connections. My galaxy consists of the people I have met and conversed with throughout my life."
"In this exhibition, I painted the galaxy that resides deep within my own heart. To me, this is the space of perception and emotion from which my art emerges," he added.
Masudur Rahman's artistic journey began with poetry before he formally studied Oriental Art at the Faculty of Fine Arts in University of Dhaka.
His works often center on human emotions, aspirations, and dreams, using nature as a profound metaphor.
