Abdullah Al Bashir's solo exhibition, “Evolution,” opened at Alliance Française de Dhaka on December 2. The inaugural ceremony of the exhibition was held at La Galerie of Alliance Française.
Pro-Vice Vice Chancellor of Dhaka University, Dr. A. S. M. Maksud Kamal; eminent artists Prof. Syed Abul Barq Alvi, and Prof. Anisuzzaman Anis were present at the inauguration event.
Abdullah Al Bashir consciously observes everything around him, then reflects the deep observations in his artistic works. “Evolution” features the woodcut arts of the notable artist.
Bashir observed the process of ship-breaking and its subsequent environmental hazards in Bangladesh, which he portrayed in this series of works. The artist was inspired by few Chinese artists to work on such hyper-realistic art projects.
He is a versatile artist as he is an expert in all media. He had shown his skills in printmaking through different processes like relief, intaglio, and lithography, which are rarely seen. At the same time, his hyper-realistic watercolour works are seen among the works of a few artists.
The exhibition will be open to all till December 14 at Alliance Française de Dhaka.
