Laila Sharmeen takes part in WAG in Croatia

Bangladeshi artist Laila Sharmeen will feature among a line up of 400 artists invited to take part in World Art Games (WAG) to be held in different cities of Croatia from June 29 to July 10. The games mark Croatia joining the European Union (EU), says a press release.
The opening ceremony of the games will be concurrently held concurrently in the cities of Ludberg, Umag and Vukovar.
Laila Sharmeen has 11 solos and over 50 group shows to her credit. In 2011 she won a Purchase Prize at the prestigious 16th Space International Print Biennial held at OCI Museum of Art in Seoul, Korea. Her works are in the permanent collection of many local and international organisations including National Museum of Bangladesh, Izmir Cultural Center, the central bank of Bangladesh and leading telecom company of Bangladesh, Grameenphone.
Deeply perturbed by materialistic greed and the alienation of modern man, Laila tries to capture the hollowness of modern civilisation, the clash of civilisations, apartheid and religious bigotry that have rendered our planet unlivable. But at the core of her heart she is romantic, dreaming of a utopian world amidst obscurantism, hypocrisy and deceit.
