Mr. Asaduzzaman Noor MP, Minister of Cultural Affairs, Govt. of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, and eminent artist Mr. Rafiqun Nabi will jointly inaugurate the exhibition. Using the human body as his main source of inspiration, Bishwajit Goswami brilliantly succeeds in proposing an original interpretation of this age-old theme. Centered on two different series of works, the canvases on display in ‘In Motion’ reveal a pictorial language that blurs the borders between categories. Quest for Soul focuses on specific parts of the human body a back, a hand… sometimes enlarging them to the extreme in a hyper-realistic pursuit. On the contrary, Metamorphosis and Physical Existence distorts familiar shapes, be them human or animal, to subtly depart from the language of reality. Goswami’s bold technical choices demonstrate uncommon technical skills. His preference for dark backgrounds and his treatment of light reminding of the Baroque’s chiaroscuro further foster the originality of his approach. A young artist he was born in 1981, Bishwajit Goswami recently joined as a lecturer the Drawing & Painting Department of the Fine Art Faculty (Charukola), University of Dhaka. The painter has already received several accolades of importance and was awarded with an Honourable Mention at the 16th Asian Art Biennial in December 2014. His distinctive images have featured in numerous group shows at home and abroad, and ‘In Motion’ will be his first public solo. This exhibition highlights the commitment of Bengal Art Lounge towards new and different artistic endeavors. The gallery is thus extremely proud to present In Motion to the public. ‘In Motion’ by Bishwajit Goswami From Sunday 11 to Saturday 24 January 2015 Open Daily from 12pm to 8pm.
