Siddhartha Talukder’s solo exhibition ‘Self-revelation’ begins at AFD

A week-long solo painting exhibition by professor Siddhartha Talukder titled ‘Self-revelation’ has begun at La Galerie, Alliance Française de Dhaka on Friday. Eminent artist Professor Rafiqun Nabi inaugurated the exhibition as chief guest on Friday evening on the galley premises, where art critic Professor Moinuddin Khaled and renowned artist Professor Nisar Hossain were present as special guests. Alliance Française de Dhaka director Bruno Plasse delivered the welcome speech at the opening ceremony.
 Siddhartha Talukder comes from exploring a long 40 years in pursuit of art. Though he participated in more than 100 group exhibitions, both national and international level, this exhibition titled ‘Self-revelation’ is his first solo.
 In the past few years professor Talukder worked with different colour media like oil, watercolour, acrylic, pastel, and mixed media. His artistic language is abstract and his subjects are mainly nature and human, sometimes non-objective; and conveys both traditionalism and modernism. Some of his paintings are painted over a long period of time and encapsulate many layers of musings and creative awareness. As Talukder puts it, ‘each diligent artist should leave a sign of their own style even under restriction,’ his paintings exude hard work, dedication and introspection.
 Professor Siddhartha Talukder was born in Jamalpur district in 1957. He  obtained his M.F.A (Drawing and Painting), Institute of Fine Art, University of Dhaka in 1984.  He did PhD on History of Art from Visva-Bharati University, Santinketan, India in 1999. Currently he is the professor of Department of Painting, Oriental Art and Printmaking, University of Rajshahi.
 The exhibition is open to all until March 18 and can be visited according to the following schedule—Mondays to Thursdays from 3pm to 9pm, Fridays and Saturdays (9am to12pm and 5:00pm to 8:00pm). Closed -Sunday.
