A solo art exhibition titled Three Shadows of Art by artist Md. Rashed Alam has kicked off at La Galerie of Alliance Franaise de Dhaka (AFD) in the citys Dhanmondi area. DhakaLive has news that the inauguration ceremony of the exhibition was held on Friday which was attended by veteran artist Professor Samarjit Roy Chowdhury, eminent sculptor Ferdousi Priyabhasini, art critic Moinuddin Khaled and principal of Dhaka Art College Gobinda Ray.
Born in 1988, Rashed Alam did his Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Dhaka Art College, National University. Rashed Alam, in his first solo exhibition, is showcasing three types of artworks that he experimented on: dualism paintings, sculptures and miniatures.
His dualism paintings present the viewers with a unique view of the canvas and their relation from different perspectives. These paintings showcase different chronological aspects if viewed from the left or the right side. Human figures and their inherent shapes have a great influence on his sculptures. A sinfonia of age and different states is sometimes apparent in them. Alam is also exhibiting some of his miniatures which came out from carving pencil leads, paintbrushes, or even a hand tool like a hammer.
The artist presented portraits in the form of miniature sculpture. He carved the wooden handles of paint-brushes into the miniature portraits of Da Vinci, Matisse, Picasso, Dali and Orwell. These miniature sculptures, having been held atop the upright brushes, remind us of memorial sculptures. This is an aesthetic arrangement of paying tributes to the immortal artists from a young artist.
The exhibition is open to all, until April 15, and can be visited according to gallery schedule--Monday to Thursday from 3 pm to 9 pm, Friday and Saturday (9 am to 12 noon and 5 pm to 8 pm). Closed on Sunday.
AFD: 26 Mirpur Road, Dhanmondi. l
