In the quiet corners of Alliance Française, a small cluster of canvases invites viewers into a Dhaka that no longer exists — or perhaps one that exists only in memory. In “City of Memories”, Kazi Salahuddin Ahmed turns the familiar chaos of our own Old Dhaka into intimate, abstract landscapes, painted to recall the magic of the city.
Alliance Française de Dhaka has inaugurated “City of Memories”, a solo exhibition featuring 140 miniature paintings by acclaimed artist Kazi Salahuddin Ahmed. The show opened yesterday, at 11am at the organisation’s Gulshan Gallery.
