Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
“Spending a significant time of our lives at the same alma mater (Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka) and graduating the same year made us become the best of friends, and also familiar with our artistic expressions. During the later years, after life took us over, we started discussing the journey that we never took. That is when this exhibition, which since has become an annual event, took root. We have been hosting Colours annually for the past four years. These exhibitions are aimed at celebrating our journey and growth together. We showcase our works annually to consistently evolve and create dialogue about our practices,” this was said by the participant artists of a group art exhibition titled Colours which is being held at the La Galerie of the Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) in the capital’s Dhanmondi area now.
Eminent architect and poet Rabiul Hossain attended the inaugural ceremony of the exhibition as the chief guest while eminent artist Kanak Chapa Chakma also attended the event as the special guest.
The participating artists are: Farhana Afroz, Farzana Islam, Monidipa Dasgupta, Mukti Bhowmik, Rebeka Sultana, Monira Sultana, Rehana Yesmin, Rifat Jahan and Shaila Akhter.
