Bipasha Hayat's solo exhibit in Seoul
A solo art exhibition of noted Bangladeshi artist, actor and writer Bipasha Hayat is currently on at the Gallery LVS in Seoul, South Korea. The exhibition opened on December 14 and continues January 10 at the gallery.
Titled “The Flow of the Land”, the exhibit is showcasing 21 works by the artist, on various media such as PVC board, corrugated cardboard and muslin cloth, along with works on canvas.
Korean artists, art critics and First Secretary of the Bangladesh Embassy in Korea Zahidul Islam Bhuiyan were present at the inauguration ceremony.
“Yoon Jinsup, a renowned Korean artist, art critic and curator was a jury member of last year's Asian Art Biennale Bangladesh where I received an honorary mention award. It was on his interest that this exhibition is taking place,” Bipasha told The Daily Star. She also thanked the Bangladeshi Embassy in Korea for lending their support in making the exhibition a success. “There is not a lot of idea about Bangladeshi art in the East, and I hope this exhibition, at a mainstream art gallery in Korea, brings them more in contact with our art,” the artist added.
Bipasha's work is a trail of reinterpretation of densely populated historical scene, influenced by ancient times, revealing the result of time piled up in this place, revealed layer by layer. Her recently-launched monochrome work is based on slabs. She uses a variety of wood panels, corrugated boards, as well as canvases which allow for expressions such as phrases to be engraved on slabs.
Prior to the solo exhibition, Bipasha and five other Bangladeshi artists participated at the Seoul International Art Festival from December 6-12.
