Joloj 3 (Aquatic 3), GROUP OF FOUR ARTISTS PAINTING EXHIBITION
Date: November 17- 28, 2017
Venue: La Galerie, Alliance Francaise
The third edition of 'Joloj' continues the series of exhibitions with a central theme of 'the water around us.' Water is ubiquitous to Bangladesh. To the untrained eye, layers and layers of bricks and concrete, man-made mundane monuments of melancholy may seem arid or 'waterless', but beneath it all, water flows, cascades, swirls and streams and calls out to every person — to wet their feet in it.
Even the indolent ones cannot help but respond to that call when it's the rainy season, when a limpid pond as if by magic emerges amid greenery, or when thousands and thousands of rivers of Bangladesh make it almost impossible to not embrace water and its beauty. 'Joloj' is an endeavour by artists Bishan Bhakta, Golam Moshiur Rahman Choudhury, Md. Al-Akhir Sarker, and Sadek Ahmed.
