The culmination of an art residency project back in December last year is the ongoing art exhibition titled 'Brihotto' (Immensity) in the capital's Abinta Gallery of Fine Arts, reports UNB.

Ten students from various academic backgrounds, but with a passion for art, were deliberately taken to a remote rural area in Lama, Bandarban for a four-day residency camp, in order to develop their own artworks after coming in close contact with nature.

The exhibition was curated by artist Bishwajit Goswami, also a teacher at the Department of Drawing and Painting, Faculty of Fine Art, DhakaUniversity.

Bishwajit led them to further their ideas after returning to Dhaka, as part of a month-long open studio programme at the Abinta Gallery of Fine Arts.

"The open studio was a time dedicated to practice, during which the participants transformed their ideas into specific individual works in different disciplines," he said.

Italian Ambassador to Bangladesh Mario Palma inaugurated the exhibition as the chief guest on February 24.

The exhibition is slated to conclude on March 10.

Participants from different disciplines of fine arts independently created artworks and demonstrated variations of colours. They depicted various disciplines, including drawing, painting, sculpture, macro miniature, sight specific work, graphics, installation with different media, video performance, photography and even poetry.
