Nineteen artworks of three women painters from Bangladesh that ooze vibrancy and renewal of human life in rural settings of the country are on display at an exhibition here.
The paintings of Zebun Nahar Nayeem, Rubina Akhter and Elham Huq touch different facets of emotions and give a peek into the life of women in natural surroundings in their myriad hues.
The exhibition, titled Hope, is on at the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society (AIFACS) building.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Bangladesh High Commissioner Syed Muazzem Ali last week. He said artistes have always played an important role in the evolution of Bangladesh's nationhood - from the Bangla language movement in the late 1940s to the liberation war in 1971.
Nahar, a former art teacher in Dhaka's Scholastica International School, uses traditional folk motif on canvas as well as wood and on metal.
Elham works with acrylic colour on canvas and Rubina's paintings emphatically bring out her background as an interior designer with the focus as much on painting as on their framing with bits and pieces.
