Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
A three-week long solo oil painting exhibition titled ‘Chromatic Delusions’ by noted artist Maksuda Iqbal Nipa is being held at Bengal
Art Lounge in the capital’s Gulshan area now.
Carrying the long tradition of Bangladeshi abstract painting a step further, ‘Chromatic Delusions’ proposes a dialogue between
the Modern and the Contemporary.
The European Union (EU) Ambassador
in Bangladesh Pierre Mayaudon and
Professor Emeritus Anisuzzaman jointly
inaugurated the exhibition recently
on the premises of Bengal Art Lounge.
Trained in Japan, where she studied
oil painting techniques, Maksuda Iqbal Nipa
is renowned for her colorful abstractions which she often composes on very large
canvases. These exceptional formats form the backbone of ‘Chromatic Delusions,’ where
a number of impressive non-figurative
artworks explore the depth and
range of various tonalities.
The viewers are in perpetual awe when facing Nipa’s chromatic studies: the slightest variation in lighting, distance or viewing angle seem
to constantly reshuffle the entire composition.
Indeed, Maksuda Iqbal Nipa’s compositions cannot be grasped at a glance and require
an active engagement from the viewers. Consenting to that effort is a meaningful
experience, for the artworks on display
in this exhibition invite to introspection.
The exhibition will continue
till November 21. n
