Art is a unique, powerful tool of connecting people, culture, says Ahn Seong-Doo
Former Executive Chairman of the Board of Investment Syed Abdus Samad, South Korean Ambassador to Bangladesh Ahn Seong-Doo, eminent artist Hashem Khan and renowned historian and Bangabandhu Chair Professor Muntassir Mamoon jointly inaugurated the exhibition at the Nalinikanta Bhattashali Gallery of the museum.
With her three forms of ceramic pieces, terracotta compositions, potteries and ceramic paintings, seasoned artist Akhtarun Nahar Ivy demonstrated her artistry through the exhibition, and her success in her experiments using clay as medium.
The subjects of her compositions are people’s life in general, life-struggles and nature.
Addressing the inaugural session, Syed Abdus Samad said art is better than life as the art can stop time. “Human beings die, but the art never does.”
He also hailed the artist as very creative.
