A group exhibition titled “Be Smart About Art” will be inaugurated at 5pm today at the Athena Gallery of Fine Arts in the capital. The exhibition highlights the artwork of eight young accomplished artists showcasing Bangladeshi contemporary art. “Be Smart About Art” filters the contemporary world through the perspective of the new generation. It offers reflections on the rise of the middle class, the political changes sweeping across the globe and the economic growth that have radically altered society’s anxieties and aspirations.
The participating artists have travelled abroad and exhibited internationally, and bring the sensibilities of globalisation to their work.
The featured artists are Anisuzzaman, Ashim Halder Sagor, Ashraful Hasan, Bipasha Hayat, Bishwajit Goswami, Maksuda Iqbal Nipa, Nazia Andaleeb Preema and Pijush Kanti Sarkar.
The exhibition will run until December 20.
