A special photography exhibition titled ‘Shotoborshe Sultan’ begins today (Friday) at Bengal Shilpalay in Dhanmondi on the occasion of the birth centenary of legendary Bangladeshi artist SM Sultan.
Bengal Foundation organised the exhibition in collaboration with HSBC Bangladesh, reports UNB.
The exhibition will showcase a rare and intimate visual journey of artist Sultan through the lens of eminent photographer Nasir Ali, widely known as the ‘Poet with the Camera.’
It will feature portraits of the iconic artist alongside original negatives, handwritten letters, diary entries, drawings, and other memorabilia from Mamun’s private collection.
Many of these artifacts will be displayed publicly for the first time, offering an evocative glimpse into the extraordinary life of one of Bangladesh’s most visionary painters.
Marking his 65th solo exhibition, Mamun described the initiative as a significant milestone in his artistic career.
