‘Life We Desire; Life We Gain’ begin at AFD tomorrow

A twelve-day solo painting  exhibition titled  ‘Life We Desire; Life We Gain’ by artist Bitap Shavan Bachhar will begin tomorrow at the La Galerie of Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) in the city's Dhanmondi.
Dhaka University Vice Chancellor Professor Dr AAMS Arefin Siddique will inaugurate the exhibition tomorrow evening as chief guest, while Proessor Nisar Hossain, Dean, Faculty of Fine Art, DU and Professor Dr Asim Sarkar, Provost, Jagannath Hall, University of Dhaka will attend the inaugural ceremony as the special guests. Professor Dr Nazmul Ahsan Kalimullah, Vice- President,  Alliance Française de Dhaka will preside over the opening ceremony.
Throughout the last decade, Betap has been running his imagination over the human psychology prevalent in our society and he found out that unhappiness formulates from the natural manifestations where man desires something but gets another thing instead. This unhappiness, experienced by many from numerous disappointments for the duration of their lives, promulgates the collective depression of the society. The artist tries to bring that out in his paintings, along with the social bondages and customs that are burdensome to a human. In his artworks, the conflict between desire and destination is sometimes the main point that he prefers to show.
Technically, the medium is oil based, which is essentially Betap's favourite medium here because of its flexibility, durability and scope to work in details. Almost all of the artworks are life-size as the artist would like to exhibit the visceral feelings of his subjective motives.
Born in 1985  in Satkhira, Bangladesh, Betap did his BFA and MFA from Dhaka University and got first class first.
After the inaugural ceremony, the exhibition will remain open to all every, until August 2 and can be visited according to the following schedule--Monday to Thursday from 3:00pm to 9:00pm, Friday and Saturday (9:00am to12:00 noon and 5:00pm to 8:00pm). Closed -Sunday.
