Return to Nature- at Athena Gallery

A group art exhibition opened at the Athena Gallery of Fine Arts, Uttar Badda, Dhaka last week. The exhibition, titled “Return to Nature”, highlights the artwork of five talented artists -- Anisuzzaman, Abdus Sattar Toufiq, Sahid Kazi, Bishwajit Goswami and Sumon Wahed -- who are displaying their 30 paintings on watercolour, oil, acrylic and mixed media. 

All the artists have traveled to various countries and adopted and developed diverse themes which focus on the aspects of globalisation. Their works are excellent in terms of personal techniques and creating effects from water, oil and acrylic colours.  Showcasing Bangladeshi art and culture, the artworks depict the freshness and simplicity of nature. 

Art lovers will find a wide range of artistic expressions and a great opportunity to interact with the artists and understand their experiences. The performing arts at the opening of the show were an interesting one as well.

M Mokammel Haque, Former Secretary to the Government, inaugurated the exhibition as chief guest while noted sculptor Hamiduzzaman Khan attended the event as guest of 
honour.

The exhibition will run till June 9.
