Freedom fighter G M Khalilur Rahman features geometric forms together with a feminine visage in one of his works, while Mahmudur Rahman Apu’s door series represents some abandoned houses. Md Farid Hossain Siddiqui depicts pigeons, a symbol of peace, against the background of an old wall and dark window. Parveen Zaman Shammu portrays abstract imagery of nature, while Sakina Hossain depicts the face that uncannily evokes the Tagorean style.

The artworks showcase the idiosyncratic styles of the participating artists.

Frame 74, open for all from 10 am to 8 pm every day, will continue till January 12.
