In addition there are 25 other locations which will act as satellites to the main eventContinue reading “Imagining Peace at the Colombo Art Biennale”

Choker dekha Praner katha
My first Solo exhibition ended earlier tonight. This whole week has been exhilirating. The Opening on the 29th was very well received. I was touched by the speech made by Radha Chakravarty, Shahid Kabir, Baby Maudud and my husband (on my behalf). Each in their own way went a long way in making theContinue reading “Choker dekha Praner katha”
A Solo Show
I am busy with preparations for a solo exhibition planned for the end of May and will be back to my normal posting frequency in June ’09. I hope you will stop by again then.

This workshop was organised by the Britto Arts Trust and was a little different in format from the earlier two. There were two coordinators but there was no person conductingContinue reading “Mechanical Fantasy”

We have many street vendors in Dhaka. This flower seller’s expression caught my attention. It’s turned out to be more aggressive mostly because of what I read into the situation and the stories that I built around him which kept me occupied when painting. Using oils after a break. The first painting is yet toContinue reading “Je ne veux pas travailler”
