4th Solo Painting Exhibition of Nobo Kumar Bhadra বাদল/Badal: 4th Solo Painting Exhibition of Artist Nobo Kumar Bhadra "The beginning was about living not love." Starting his journey painting cinema banners in the 1980s, Nobo Kumar Bhadra has now established a recognizable footprint in the rickshaw painting scene of Bangladesh. His works depict the evanescent days of old cinema protagonists and antagonists, their cinematic expression so fumbled with bold strokes; heritage and mythoi of Bengal; anthropomorphic animals like fox, such and lion riding boats, having a day at the jungle- all drawn with bright saturated colors vibrant with life. The artist's 4th solo exhibition will be hosted by the Department of English, Jahangirnagar University. This three-day exhibition starting on 25th September 2016 will feature his artworks (including painting and installation art) that amalgamate the folk and the fantastic. Date: 25-27 September 2016 Venue: Department of English, Jahangirnagar University Photo courtesy: Siam Raihan Nafis Installation Shots Badal (22) © Siam Raihan Nafis Badal (21) © Siam Raihan Nafis Badal (4) © Siam Raihan Nafis Badal (22) © Siam Raihan Nafis 1/22 Go back
