Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
We are steaming through a ruthless wave of time. The familiar face of our country seems unknown now. From the pastoral to the urban, the whole territory is changing rapidly. Industrialisation has somewhat made the nature destructive towards mankind. The socio-cultural and socio-political do not match with the way we live now, and that gap is widening day by day.
The socio-political atmosphere has made breathing tough for the ordinary people. The gluttony and hunger of power reflect through conflicts, violence, bombing, terror campaign, and fire tragedies. The most afflicted people are the least privileged ones.
The misery is piling up on our psyche making us insensitive. But we still have the essence of our motherland, the vigorous arrangement of nature filled with life. Our soul still incorporates the spirit of the fight for our mother tongue, the struggle for our rights and the war cry to aim for our liberation war. Harbouring these entangled thoughts, the artist- Md Harun-ar-Rashid Tutul tries to construct the various states of an individual’s heart and that of the society.
A painting exhibition titled Colliding Collages by artist Md Harun-ar- Rashid Tutul is going on at La Galerie of the Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) in the city’s Dhanmondi area now.
Vice Chancellor of University of Dhaka Prof Dr AAMS Arefin Siddique, National Project Director (Additional Secretary) Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme Mohammad Abdul Qayyum, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts of University of Dhaka Nisar Hossain, eminent artist Prof Mohammad Eunus and artist-critic Mostafa Zaman Mithu, among others, were present at the inauguration of the exhibition. Bruno Plasse, Director of the AFD gave welcome speech among the distinguished guests and also presided over the opening ceremony.
Md Harun-ar- Rashid Tutul was born at Jaypurhat in 1976. After finishing MFA in Graphic Design from Dhaka University he is currently working as Assistant Professor at the Department of Graphics Design of Dhaka Universities. Colliding Collages, Harun’s first solo, is apparently a testimony to the divisive politics, which now afflicts this deltaic region.
The exhibition will continue till August 5. n
