A nine-day solo art exhibition of artist Masudur Rahman titled聽Journey of the Cosmos聽began at the La Galerie of Alliance Fran莽aise de Dhaka on聽Friday.
Dhaka University professor emeritus Syed Manzoorul Islam and eminent artist Monirul Islam attended the inaugural ceremony as special guests, said a press release.
Masudur Rahman enjoys creating art through drawing, viewing it as a cosmic journey where lines serve as his spaceship.
This perspective allows him to explore the mysterious depths of art, which he finds to be a source of joy in life. He perceives the universe through his artwork, considering the human figure as central to everything.
Mentioning that the sense of vastness and space that is always awake in the mind of man gives immense depth to his creation, love, and life, Masudur Rahman said, 鈥楾his infinite emptiness is our basic form. I am created from within that void, once in form and once in formlessness.鈥�
This dual form of shape and formlessness is 鈥榣ife,鈥� and this is how my artwork is an expression of embodiment and abstraction, he added.
Masudur Rahman engages in drawing and painting, favouring mediums like ink, acrylic, and watercolour, drawing inspiration from ancient Indian and renaissance art.
The exhibition will remain open to visitors till聽September 14.聽
