DHAKA, Oct 27, 2025 (BSS)-The curtain fell today on the four-day solo art 
exhibition titled "Wayfarers of the Shadowed Path" by artist Masudur Rahman 
at NOOK Gallery in Banani. 

The exhibition featured around 40 artworks in charcoal, oil, and acrylic- 
portraying nature, cosmos, existence, and void. 

There was a live painting session on the second day of the exhibition.

Speaking to BSS, organizer and artist Masudur Rahman said he was delighted by 
the unexpectedly large turnout.

He said, "The audience has accepted my artworks very cordially and they asked 
me many questions about my work from their curiosity. I believe that, from an 
exhibition standpoint, it has been a very successful event. It's a matter of 
great joy for me."

Asked about his works, he said, "The title of my exhibition is 'Wayfarers of 
the Shadowed Path' or in Bengali, 'Chhayapather Pathikera'. The visual 
pattern of my work revolves around the concept of the infinity line or cosmic 
line."

Through these works, I attempt to explore the feeling of perceiving the 
universe from within the human body and to me, the galaxy and the human form 
are interconnected, he said, adding, "I sense a profound depth that binds the 
two together."

Narrating his art philosophy, he said, "I have my own galaxy, and I deeply 
value human connections. My galaxy consists of the people I have met and 
conversed with throughout my life." 

"In this exhibition, I painted the galaxy that resides deep within my own 
heart. To me, this is the space of perception and emotion from which my art 
emerges," he added.

Masudur Rahman's artistic journey began with poetry before he formally 
studied Oriental Art at the Faculty of Fine Arts in University of Dhaka.

His works often center on human emotions, aspirations, and dreams, using 
nature as a profound metaphor.

The concluding session began at 6 pm today. Visitors and co-organizers 
attended the event, where Masudur Rahman recited his own poems.
