The inaugural ceremony of a solo painting exhibition by Golam Mohammed Joarder titled ‘Ruposhi Bangla (The Beauteous Bengal)’. will be held at AF Dhaka on Friday, 6 July 2018 at 5 pm. Honourable speaker of Bangladesh parliament Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, MP will grace the occasion as the chief guest. Eminent artist Prof. Samarjit Roy Chowdhury will remain present as the guest of honour while the honourable whip of Bangladesh parliament Solaiman Hqque Joarder, MP will also attend the opening ceremony as the special guest.
Golam Mohammed Joarder, who holds a BFA from the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka and has two published novels under his illustrious belt, found the ‘nature’ as his muse for this painting exhibition titled ‘Ruposhi Bangla (The Beauteous Bengal)’.
The ‘nature’ in his paintings, he states, consists of man and man’s circumstances. To him, these two elements render as imaginal as well as abstract in composition. Joarder prefers the abstractionism, as to him, the concrete form is 2-dimensional — either true or fake. The abstractionism, however, is open-ended, interpretable to the observer — one either understands a great deal from it or not. Joarder keeps that observer-to-be in his mind. His canvasses thus invite colours that are, by his own account, gravitative.
After the inaugural ceremony, the exhibition will be open to all until 17th July 2018 in La Galerie, Alliance Française de Dhaka. Visiting Hours: Monday to Thursday, from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Friday and Saturday (9:00 am to12:00noon and 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm). Sunday- Closed.
