Two Bangladeshi artists, Monirul Islam and Shahabuddin Ahmed, are participating in the group show.
In the fine art printing process serigraphy, the artists have had their special images onto the paper.
Mostly the artists has expressed their medium in drawing, which depicts their sentiments, patriotism, portraits,  forms and compositions, animals and abstractness, which  have been well interpreted on prints.
The artist preferred prints in black and white, which has the essence of enigma. A piece of horse done by Sunil Das shows the vibrant spirit of mane and tail of the stallion.
The young woman's portrait by Suhas Roy creates personal disposition. An attractive, sleekly modern print with semi abstract form by Joyoshree Chakraborty has been well credited with the composition of serigraph. Monirul Islam has emphasised mostly on lines in his prints.
The dramatic motion of his work appealed to the audience. Shahabuddin's signature mark has also shown in serigraphs.
The artist also portrays force in his artwork. The horns and hooves of the bull make the force more visible.
