Mohsin's solo art exhibition

An art work by Mohammed Mohsin

Mohsin's solo painting exhibition was recently held at the National Art Gallery, Shilpakala Academy. Information Minister M Shamsul Islam inaugurated the exhibition.

"There are many elements of nature, which can be the subject of art, I prefer to deal with the often overlooked beauty, on my abstract canvas," says Mohsin. His works on oil medium, portray fungus, moss and corrosion, are unique. Through bluish green, black and different shades of yellow, Mohsin has portrayed these elements.

Moreover, he has also depicted traditional natural scenarios such as a sunset, beach, hilly landscape and others. However, in this case also his approach is different. He has captured the ambience of the very scenery on his canvas. Through his Alo Andhar, Godhuli, Winter Morning, he has depicted his emotions with a moderate use of shades.

Though Mohsin's portrayal of nature is abstract, however, his approach to deliver message is figurative. Faand (trap) is one of his remarkable narrative paintings, which portrays women trafficking on a single canvas. Through a few figures of human beings, he has depicted the tragic story of those unfortunate women.

Shamayer Shakkhi is another noteworthy figurative work, which depicts the violence of the contemporary social turmoil. In another figurative canvas--Smriti Ekattur--Mohsin has narrated the genocide unleashed by the Pakistani military regime and their collaborators on the Bangalees during 1971.

The exhibition ends today.
