Taste of Light and Darkness has returned with its second edition titled Taste of Light and Darkness 2 at Alliance Franaise de Dhakas La Galerie premises at 5.30pm today. The group painting exhibition, featuring artworks by A.S.M. Rashidul Alam, Md. Al-Akhir Sarker,Md. Azmol Hosen, Sayed Fida Hossain, and Sultan Ishtiaque, will showcase an expansive portrayal of ordinary peoples day-to-day life juxtaposed on a vignette of light and darkness.
At the inaugural ceremony today, eminent artist Monirul Islam will be present at the occasion as chief guest, while architect Shamsul Wares will be present as special guest. For this exhibition, the artists have employed the fundamental nature of contrasting two elements: light as well as darkness and strove to unfold the exquisiteness of nature which, they found, is both perpetual and ephemeral; and they ultimately ended up with compositions that are exemplary of the titular overtone. The artists found that the acceptivity of light and darkness with each other is very synergistic as if they mimic the most primordial instincts of the human nature. Human beings and their expressions, the artists think, are necessarily full of these two elements and their paintings only trying to encapsulate that. After the inaugural ceremony, the exhibition will remain open to all, until March 8.

When: Monday to Thursday from 3:00pm to 9:00pm, Friday and Saturday (9:00am to12:00pm and 5:00pm to 8:00pm). Closed on Sunday.
