Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
Siddhartha Talukder comes from exploring a long 40 years in pursuit of art. Though he participated in more than 100 group exhibitions, both national and international level, this exhibition titled Self-revelation is his first solo.
In the past few years, Prof Talukder worked with different colour media like oil, watercolour, acrylic, pastel, and mixed media.
His artistic language is abstract and his subjects are mainly nature and human, sometimes non-objective; and convey both traditionalism and modernism.
Some of his paintings are painted over a long period of time and encapsulate many layers of musings and creative awareness. As Talukder puts it, ‘each diligent artist should leave a sign of their own style even under restriction,’ his paintings exude hard work, dedication and introspection.
Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) is going to arrange a solo painting exhibition of Prof Siddhartha Talukder titled Self-revelation in its La Galerie in the city’s Dhanmondi area on March 10.
Eminent artist Prof Rafiqun Nabi is expecting to inaugurate the exhibition as the chief guest, while noted art critic Prof Moinuddin Khaled and renowned artist Prof Nisar Hossain will also attend the opening ceremony as special guests. Bruno Plasse, Director of AFD, will welcome the distinguished guests and will also preside over the opening ceremony.
Prof Siddhartha Talukder was born in Jamalpur in 1957. He obtained his M F A (Drawing and Painting), Institute of Fine Art, University of Dhaka in 1984. He did PhD on History of Art from Visva-Bharati University, Santinketan, India in 1999. Currently he is the professor of Department of Painting, Oriental Art and Printmaking, University of Rajshahi.
The exhibition will continue till March 18. n
