Dhaka, June 5 (UNB) – A 10-day exhibition of artworks of three acclaimed Bangladeshi artists will begin at SOMArts at San Francisco in the United States on Thursday.  

The exhibition titled ‘Soul & Symbols of a Delta’ features the works of internationally renowned artist Kalidas Karmakar, artists Proshanta Karmakar Buddha and Nagarbasi Barman.

The show will run from June 7-17 at Somarts, 934 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. It will remain open for visitors from 11am to 6pm, said a press release on Tuesday.

Alluvial Arts, working to promote contemporary Bangladeshi arts in the San Francisco Bay Area and across the US, will arrange the show.

The works of Kalidas Karmakar, Proshanta Karmakar Buddha and Nagarbasi Barman present different faces of the Bengali psyche, reflecting both the subliminal experience of dreams and other layers of the human subconscious (our fears, fantasies, spiritual and moral beliefs), as well as the dynamism of human exchange with the outside world, including healthcare, village and family structure, and the environment.

The works to be on display range from midsised etchings, silk screen prints and mixed-media on handmade, Japanese Washi paper, to large-scale oil and acrylic paintings. The diversity of medium, style and inspiration offers a small taste of the rich and multidimensional contemporary art of Bangladesh, and of the soul and imagination of its artists.
