My Beloved Motherland, Painting Exhibition
Date: Tue, Oct 24, 2017 to Tue, Oct 31, 2017
Time: Daylong
Venue: Galerie Zoom, Alliance Francaise
From the unparalleled colours of six seasons to the innumerable water bodies beaming with azure blue, Bangladesh — my beloved homeland reigns my paintings. They also bear witness to the hardships of our people, the calamities they endure and the tribulations they vanquish to make their ends meet. Farmers, fishermen, boatmen and people from various walks of life become ineluctable characters in my mind and I have tried to capture perhaps a moment from their daily lives.' 'My Beloved Motherland' is artist Md. Abu Salim's twelfth solo exhibition. The exhibition will feature Salim's twenty recent works.
