Beauty of nature through the lens

With 24 selected images, Anurup Kanti Das' maiden solo exhibition titled "Whiteness of the North" was recently held at Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin Gallery of Zilla Shilpakala Academy, Chattogram, for the visual art lovers of the port city.

Renowned poet and journalist Abul Momen inaugurated the exhibition as chief guest on July 21.

Winter has its unique beauty. Anurup marvelously captured the pristine beauty of nature in an array of images ranging from the snow-covered nature to the Finnish lifestyle, cultural nuances and nostalgia, said visitors.

The showcased images are well-composed with a detailed depiction of subjects, objects, perspectives, colour combinations and a soothing game of light and shade.   

The multi-award-winning artist, who currently lives in Helsinki, Finland, also served as a photojournalist in Dainik Purbokone, Dainik Suprobhat Bangladesh and The Daily Star.
