Acclaimed actor-painter Bipasha Hayat’s exclusive solo exhibition titled ‘Stone Time’ has been inaugurated at Gallery Chitrak, Dhanmondi in the capital.
Ekushey Padak award winner eminent cartoonist Rafiqun Nabi inaugurated the opening ceremony of the 15-day solo exhibition while the event was presided over by internationally acclaimed painter and printmaker Shahid Kabir. Dhaka University Faculty of Fine Arts Dean professor Nisar Hossain joined the inauguration ceremony as the special guest.
The artworks demonstrate the recent global catastrophes, crises and ups and downs during the prime of the Covid-19 global pandemic.
Speaking at the event, Bipasha said: “For the last two and a half years after moving from Bangladesh to the US and exploring the devastating lockdown and crises during the early days of Covid-19 in a foreign land, I manifested these paintings focusing on everything that was added to my life or happened around me, how the nature around me was, and everything that was going on within my head.”
“It is a great honour that my teachers are here today while I am being able to present you this exhibition, sharing my thoughts through my paintings,” Bipasha added.
The 15-day exhibition will continue until 30 April, from 11:00am to 8:00pm every day.
