Samar Majumder's “Mrittika Maya” at AFD
Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) has organised the second solo painting exhibition by artist Samar Majumder at its La Galerie, in the capital. The inaugural ceremony of the exhibition, titled “Mrittika Maya” (“Earthen Affection”), was held on 13 October.
Professor Emeritus Serajul Islam Chowdhury graced the inaugural ceremony as chief guest while noted art critic Moinuddin Khaled was present as special guest. Bruno Plasse, Director of AFD, presided over the programme.
The exhibition features acrylic works on diverse themes. The artist beautifully portrayed his childhood memories, near and dear ones, neighbours, the natural settings of his birthplace Feni and time-honoured folk motifs and figures using mature and vibrant colours. The compositions of the paintings are striking too. The painter has used both geometric and oriental lines and forms to depict the artworks.
Samar Majumder is a multiple award-winning artist. Born in 1957, he has been creating artworks for more than thirty years till date.
“I find pleasure in expressing myself through paintings. Across the canvases I feel the most spontaneity in articulating my feelings and thoughts. My motherland Bangladesh is the greatest muse for my paintings. I sense a repose that drives me, empowers me to encase the beauty I see around. This is my second solo exhibition, and features paintings I have created over the last three years,” said Samar Majumder.
The exhibition is open for all from Monday to Thursday (from 3pm to 9pm) and on Fridays and Saturdays (from 9am to12noon and from 5pm to 8pm) until 26 October.
