Alliance Française de Dhaka recently organised a solo art exhibition titled ‘Puzzle of Myth’ by artist A.R. Rumy at its La Galerie. ‘Puzzle of Myth’ is the first solo exhibition by artist Rumy who showcases a number of aesthetic pieces, drawn with soothing splashes of colours representing our heritage. Our traditional motifs expressing rituals, beliefs etc. are shown in his subtle strokes of pen and brush. He has drawn the stories of the past to the present. Rumy has worked on traditional shital pati (floor-mats made from plant fiber), sholar pakhi (one of the items from the good old days of village fairs), nokshi kantha, ceremonial masks, painted pitchers etc.
Zunaid Ahmed Palak, State Minister, Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, A K M Barkatullah, Managing Director, Abed Holdings Ltd, and Sadat Ullah Khan, Editor, Protibuddijibi Magazine, were present in the inaugural ceremony.
A R. Rumy is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Development Alternative. In 2006, he did his first solo at Chuwa Gallery, Tokyo, Japan. Besides, he also participated in a number of group art exhibitions at home and abroad.
