The inaugural ceremony of a solo painting exhibition titled Banner of Victory by artist Leeton Bhuiya will be held tomorrow at the La Galerie of Alliance Franaise de Dhaka in the capitals Dhanmondi area. Liaquat Ali Lucky, Director General, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy will be present on the occasion as the chief guest, while Dr Tahmeena, Associate Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Holy Family Red Crescent Medical Collage and Hospital, will also attend the opening function as the guest of honour.
Leeton Bhuiya is a freelancer on painting and visual arts writing drama, film scripts and novel. He got his Bachelors degree in fine arts (BFA) in 1983. Banner of Victory is his fourth solo painting exhibition where he will exhibit 25 artworks. The medium he used in his artworks are acrylic and mixed.
In this time of continuous unrest in the society, Leeton Bhuiya thinks, paintings are an expression of remembrance of our golden past to remind us how through sacrifices we finally achieved the Banner of Victory. During the Liberation War, people united together for their hopes and dreams to make this country a free nation. In the current situation of our country, it has become essential to regain that sense of unity within ourselves. This is the message Bhuiya would like to convey through his paintings let us unite again.
All that is going on around the artist leaves a profound impression on his mind; a sense of responsibility to express his thoughts through the language of painting. Thus, for most of Bhuiyas paintings, emancipation and inner strength appear as the central subjects.
After the inaugural ceremony, the exhibition will remain open to all, until August 31.
Time: Monday to Thursday from 3:00pm to 9:00pm, Friday and Saturday (9:00am to12:00pm and 5:00pm to 8:00pm). Closed- Sunday. l
