The participating artists are: Pijush Kanti Sarkar, Pronob Kumar Sarkar, Wahida Sultana, Shahnoor Mamun, Sultan Ishtiaque, Tajosh Halder, Ariful Islam, Zeenat Zulfiqure, Sadiya Sultana, Sanjida Sharmeen, Mukti Khatun, Farzana Akhter Tania, Shajib Ahmed, Lamia Azad, Kamrun Nahar, Ashraful Arefin, Tanjima Tabassum, Vinita Karim, Afrozaa Zamil Konka and others. The exhibition is being supported by Cosmos Group.
About the workshop, Sourav Chowdhury, gallery assistant of Cosmos, said, “The workshop reflects our love for art, profound respect for artistic creativity and commitment to bringing about a positive change in society through arts.
“The contemporary miniature work from Pakistan is undoubtedly amazing. Each miniature painting takes two weeks to a month to complete. However, the workshop aims to popularise miniature (the medium) among promising painters here. The technique is very complicated. This medium can effectively depict any subject like aspects of human life, nature, seasons and more.”
The workshop ends on January 20.
