The Bangladesh High Commission in Sri Lanka is outfitting fine arts and specialists to add an innovative measurement to the relations among Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and grow the canvas on which the relationship can discover articulation.
The five-day Bangladesh expressions show and the two-day Bangla-Sri Lanka expressions camp got off to a wonderful begin on Sunday, with a substantial number of Lankan artistes and craftsmanship darlings thronging the JDA Perera Gallery in Colombo to have a look at the developing imaginative patterns in Bangladesh.
The occasions are being sorted out by the Bangladesh High Commission, the Society for the Promotion of Bangladesh Art, and the George Keyts Foundation of Sri Lanka.
Among the Bangladeshi specialists included are Hashem Khan, Shamsuddoha, Kanak Champa, Jahangir Hossain, Maksuda Iqbal Nipa, Priti Ali, Monjur Rashid, and Rafi Haque.
Neighborhood specialists and workmanship sweethearts manifested distinct fascination for the displays as the Bangladeshi craftsmen agreeably disclosed what they proposed to pass on through their dynamic works.
On March 18 and 19, the meeting craftsmen from Bangladesh will collaborate with their Lankan partners at the Light of Asia Foundation in the edges of Colombo. Set in pleasant environment, the Foundation's premises in Palawatte, has been a watering opening for artistes all things considered.
Navin Gunaratne, a craftsmanship sweetheart, film maker and altruist, who had set up the Foundation, does not charge for the utilization of the premises if the clients are artistes.
"I keep an open house for all artistes," Gunaratne said.
The Bangladesh High Commissioner, Riaz Hamidullah, said that holding the specialists' camp was to give a setting to cooperations which probably won't be formal fundamentally.
"It will be okay regardless of whether the artistes simply visit and make companions," he stated, however according to the program, the craftsmen will demonstrate their abilities on the spot.
Himself an artiste who structures the innovative pamphlets the Bangladesh High Commission is known for, Hamidullah had been working for the twin occasions for about a year now.
"It was a troublesome procedure yet it has achieved realization. Along these lines there is motivation to commend," he said.
Hamidullah has spearheaded creative action at the Bangladesh High Commission in Colombo. On landing in Sri Lanka, he saw colossal potential for fashioning social connections among Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, despite the fact that around then few in Sri Lanka realized that the way of life of Muslim-greater part Bangladesh is the way of life of Bengal, with which Sri Lanka has had a nearby connection since old occasions.
Sovereign Vijaya, who is accepted to be the author of the Sinhala race, was a migrant from Bengal. Sinhalese music is moderate paced and tuneful rather like Rabindra Sangeet. "Bengal and Sri Lanka share a similar enthusiasm for the flute," Hamidullah watched.
Also, Sinhalese craftsmanship has drawn vigorously from the Jamini Roy school of Bengal, however new styles are being gone for now.
Hamidullah's eagerness for holding the craftsmanship show and the artistes' camp was irresistible, said Arun Dias Bandaranaike, who spoke to the teaming up George Keyt Foundation.
"The activity was from his side and we were cleared off by him," Bandaranaike said.
A veteran speaker, Bandaranaike said it was time Sri Lanka had a national dimension association like the Society for the Promotion of Bangladesh Art, to give Sri Lankan specialists a national stage which will empower them to show just as market their works.
It was gladdening to take note of that specialists in both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka said that they are currently ready to bring home the bacon from their creative interests and not to rely upon another source salary.
Craftsman Jahangir Hossain has been a full time painter since 1982 and has been monetarily effective. He had displayed his works in 39 shows in Bangladesh and abroad including Oxford's High Street.
"The market for compositions is great since they have turned into an absolute necessity in the inside adornment of luxurious workplaces and homes," said Anjan Chowdhury of the Society for the Promotion of Bangladesh Art.
That applies to Sri Lanka craftsmen as well, where the neighborhood rich and affluent outsiders are currently a worthwhile market. The Kalapola or the Art Market on the walkways of the Ananda Coomaraswamy Mawatha has been assuming a major job in the showcasing of imaginative works.
"Already Bangladeshi artistic creations used to be gotten by representatives for a tune and trucked away toward the West. Presently Bangladeshi painters have contacted Western markets themselves. A portion of their works go for US$ 5000," Chowdhury said.
At the show, Hashem Khan's canvases emerged for their formal effortlessness however one couldn't miss the significance in them. Under the spell of the instrumental organizations of Beethoven and Mozart, Shamsuddoha started to paint peaceful topics. He has a fine feeling of light and shade which he had learnt as an understudy by duplicating representations done by experts of yore like John Constable, William Turner and Van Gogh.
Kanak Chanpa, who hails from the Chittagong Hill Tracts, consolidates authentic and non-illustrative craftsmanship. Her enthusiasm for the women's activist and tree hugger developments is obvious. Maksuda Iqbal Nipa's works emerged for their beautiful deliberations painted on substantial solicits.
Arousing quality invades crafted by Priti Ali. There is an unconstrained play of shading and a surfeit of state of mind. Monjur Rashid makes the investigation of faces his specialty as the face is the file of the brain and the state of mind. Rafi Haque has separated himself as a printmaker just as a painter and has won various universal honors incorporating the primary prize in the fifth World Triennele of Print, Chamallieres, in France in 2000.
