As a child in art school, I was known to my painting teacher as the student obsessed with landscapes. I might not have bloomed into a remarkable landscape artist, but fast forward to 2025 – after work, I dragged my exhausted self to Dwip Gallery in Lalmatia just to witness the landscape art exhibition they are currently hosting.

We often see unconventional art that keeps us wondering just how many dimensions an artist can reach through their art.

On a mild autumn evening after work, I once again found myself drawn to Bhumi Gallery to witness the magnificent art pieces that beautifully adorned its intimate spaces. Curated by Saiful Islam Lenin, “Dreamweaver” is a group exhibition showcasing the imaginative visions of 12 emerging Bangladeshi artists. Inaugurated on October 17, 2025, the event was graced by eminent artist Prof Jamal Ahmed, who attended as the chief guest and shared an inspiring address celebrating the new generation of creators.

Galerie Zoom at Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD) inaugurated a solo art exhibition by Sadrul Rafi titled “In Search of Peace” on October 17, 2025. The event was graced by Ekushey Padak–winning artist Professor Shahjahan Ahmed Bikash, who praised Rafi’s artistic finesse and the depth of his imagination.

Akangkha as a collective debut through 'Waves and Ripples', a group art exhibition curated by scholar and writer Kashfia Arif, featuring 12 artists and their 24 paintings currently adorning the walls of Safiuddin Shilpalay.

On 3rd October “A Meditation on Peace”, second solo exhibition by Farhana Afroz Bappy, curated by Shehzad Chowdhury was inaugurated at Dwip Gallery, Lalmatia in the presence of Art. Luva Nahid Chowdhury, Director General of Bengal Foundation as the chief guest.
