Ferdousi Priyabhashi's 9th solo exhibition
Man is on the lookout for freedom. But everyone has his own path to reach freedom. Ferdousi Priyabhasini is an artist. She looks for freedom in art. Her work is to imbibe, instil life in dead tree branches and logs. This devotion of hers for creating beauty has attached her with man and nature," says Amlan Dutta, former Vice Chancellor of Biswa Bharati, while commenting on Priyabhasini's art work. The artist is having her ninth solo exhibition titled "My loving friends and nature" at Gallery Dots in Tejgaon-Gulshan link road. It opened on 1 August and will run upto 20 August. The path Priyabhashini has chosen to walk along is rather secluded. She also doesn't have any companion with her. She collects raw materials from nature. Se would suddenly stop at a roadside noticing a tree uprooted by the storm. Tree branches torn by the cyclone would also be gathered with equal enthusiasm. But as she works on them they would acquire life. In her hands a trifle piece of branch would become a lively young woman. She discovers new color, rhythm, shape in those dead things and she also how to present them aesthetically before the audience. |
