Sculpture of Protest
Mrinal Haque, a eminent sculptor, mural and terracotta artist, has made this piece of art in front of a CNG conversion station in Tejgaon protesting the recent massive beautification drive, which is underway mostly in the new part of the city. He accused the city authorities of wasting money in the name of beautification and said it would not last for long. The sculpture named 'Junk Yard Family' has been made with castaway iron and metal items like chains from rickshaws and motor cycles, collected from Dholaikhal and other big cities. The piece of art, which has been set up privately, will be formally inaugurated this week. Mrinal Haque is also the sculptor of well-known Balaka set up in Motijhel, six sculptures in front of Bangladesh Rifles Gate, which brought fame to the artist.
