A thirteen-day solo painting exhibition titled ‘The Skin of a Living Thought’ by artist Nargis Poly has begun at the La Galerie of Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) in the capital’s Dhanmondi area. Eminent artist Mustafa Manwar inaugurated the exhibition as the chief guest on Friday at its premises, while Professor Dr Syed Monzoorul Islam, academic and writer joined the programme as the guest of honour and architect and urbanist Dr Adnan Morshed as the special guest.
Accordingly, the paintings avow Poly’s analytical mind as well as her artistic ethos. She never loses sight of the snowball effect of paintings pre-empting corruption and social injustice. And with a clear understanding of the surroundings, her subject choices along with the media selections become coherent to the observer.Nargis Poly’s paintings bear in mind the conviction that the essence of a painting can vary greatly in colour and content from one viewer’s perspective to another’s. Poly wants to call it, “unfolding the skin of a living thought”. Her inquisitive mind explores diverse creative and intellectual avenues never retracting from experimenting in her own style.
The exhibition is remain open to all until August 16 and can be visited according to the following schedule: Monday to Thursday from 3:00pm to 9:00pm, Friday and Saturday (9:00am to12:00 noon and 5:00pm to 8:00pm). Closed -Sunday.
