Art exhibition / ‘Im/material’: A union of comfort and chaos

The finest characteristic of Amitab’s paintings is that they invoke emotions and create a chain of thoughts. His artworks speak of his commitment to proportions and balance. His imagination comes alive through the colours and textures of his canvases. Calm and chaos both exist in his works harmoniously. According to the curator, the artist orchestrates atemporal, and spatial configurations with deliberate and methodical approaches and they align with the aesthetics of the abstract. 

Art exhibition / ‘Until the Rongrang Sings’: An aching story of our hilly regions

Jayatu Chakma, an emerging artist from Rangamati, unveils his second solo exhibition, "Until the Rongrang Sings", the first one being held in Kolkata. Renowned figures like Artist and Professor Dhali Al Mamooon and Queen Yan Yan, advisor of Chakma Circle and Indigenous Human Rights activist, graced the inauguration ceremony. 

‘Duality’: A tale of a mother and her son

"Duality" is an artistic collaboration between Salma Zakia Bristy and her son, Mashrafi Aveen. Each mother shares a unique story with her child, and Bristy is no exception. A visual artist and mother of two, her younger son Aveen has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with ADHD personality traits, as diagnosed by doctors when he was 18 months old.

‘Jogsutro’: Striking a balance between simplicity and detail

One winter evening in January, I found myself at the Kala Kendra Gallery in Lalmatia, Dhaka. Currently hosting a group art exhibition, Kala Kendra presents “Jogsutro”, featuring 15 Bangladeshi artists who have returned after completing their studies at Rabindra Bharati University.
