Bangladeshi artist Laila Sharmeen will showcase her works at a three-day Art Shopping at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris which began yesterday.
Over 70 galleries from around the world will represent about 1000 artists at this art fair, an annual rendezvous of artists to this epicenter of world art.
Argentine art dealer and editor of the Argentina Art Yearbook “María Elena Beneito” is promoting Laila to this congregation of artists, critics, dealers and art enthusiasts. She will exhibit three of her latest works in mixed media on paper.
Her works demonstrate an artist whose sole concern is about devising some playful cultural codes that are intrinsically related to the stories emanated from essential Bengali hearts and psyche.
Moreover, through many paintings, the insightful artist also expresses her frustration and agony about the anomalies that have been engulfing the whole world in recent times. But at the core of her heart she is a romantic dreaming about a utopian world amidst obscurantisms, hypocrisy and deceit.
Laila Sharmeen has 11 solos and over 50 international shows to her credit. In 2011 she won a Purchase Prize at the prestigious 16th Space International Print Biennial held at OCI Museum of Art in Seoul, Korea. She has recently participated in World Art Games spread over different cities of Croatia.
Over 400 international artists were invited to the event marking Croatia’s accession to European Union. She has also represented Bangladesh in the first Argentine International Contemporary Art Exhibition and the Effectto Biennale in Mexico in 2012.
