Here, some photos of 11th March 2014

শিল্পীর সারবত্তা ও খুশী।The Essence and Euphoria. যখন একজন শিল্পী ছবি আঁকেন, তিনি তার তখনকার ভাবনাকে তুলে ধরেন, তার মধ্যে একটা খুশী কাজ করে যখন তিনি তার সৃস্টকর্মকে তার ক্ষমতা দিয়ে শেষ করতে পারেন ও মানুষের সামনে নিয়ে যান। এটা তার সন্তানের মত প্রিয় হয়। তিনি তাকে আগলে রাখেন। এই পুরো বিষয়টার মধ্যে দেখা যায় শিল্পীর সারবত্তা ও উত্তেজনা পূর্ণ আনন্দ। সেই কারণে এবারের প্রদর্শনীর নাম করণ ' সারবত্তা ও খুশী'। The Essence and Euphoria
সূচনার দিন এতবড় গ্যালারী, বিড়লা অ্যাকাডেমির দুতালা, বিশিষ্ট মানুষে পূর্ণ ছিল। শিল্পী, কবি, নানা পেশার বুদ্ধিজীবি। সবার মধ্যে ছিল একটা খুশী। ছবিতে এসব ধরা পড়েছে। মনে হয়েছে আমার পরিশ্রম সার্থক। সবচেয়ে বড় ভাল লেগেছে যখন মানুষে, যারা অংশগ্রহন করেছেন সেই সব শিল্পী ছাড়াও সূচনার শেষপর্বে অনেকে আমার দিকে খুশীতে আপ্লুত হয়ে গোলাপ বাড়িয়ে দিয়েছেন।
বিড়লা অ্যাকাডেমি, ১০৮ সাউদার্ন এভিন্যু, 'দি এসেন্স এন্ড ইউফোরিয়া' শীর্ষক গ্রুপ বা সম্মেলক প্রদর্শনী ১১ তারিখ শুরু হয়েছে, এই গ্যালারীতে ৩২ জন বিভিন্ন রাজ্যের শিল্পীদের নিয়ে ১০৮টি ছবি স্থান পেয়েছে। ১২ তারিখ, অনেক মানুষের মাঝখানে এসেছেন, অনেক কবি, ইংরেজী ভাষার সাহিত্যিক, শিল্প সমালোচক, স্বরচিত গায়ক সুরকার, ৫ টা থেকে রাত ৮টা আমরা মগ্ন থাকলাম কবিতা , গান আর আলোচনা নিয়ে। ১১ তারিখ গ্যালারী উপচে পড়েছিল লোকে। খ্যাতিমান শিল্পীরা কবিরা এসেছিলেন সূচনা করতে, তাদের এই আয়োজন এত ভাল লেগেছিল। তারা তাদের ছবি অনেক ঝুলিয়ে দিয়েছেন। এরকম কবিতা , গান, ও ছবির প্রদর্শনী খুব কম ই হয় কলকাতায়। সে হিসাবে রেইনবো আর্টিস্টস এন্ড রাইটারস ফাউন্ডেশন অন্যতম, সূচনাকারী বিদগ্ধ ব্যক্তিরা বলে গেলেন। দেবব্রত চক্রবর্তী বললেন, ৭০ এর পর অ্যালবার্ট অশোক আবার শুরু করলেন, অ্যাকাডেমি অব ফাইন আর্টস এর প্রেসিডেন্ট বললেন, এই উদ্যোগের জন্য সাধুবাদ দিতে হয় অ্যালবার্টকে, কবি অরুণ চক্রবর্তী বললেন, অ্যালবার্ট স্বচ্ছ নিপাট মানুষ,
এখানকার আলোকচিত্র গুলি এই প্রদর্শনীর সাক্ষ্য বহন করছে।
32 painters from different states exhibited 108 paintings, a number of new artists are very young, and a number of senior artists also participated.A national level of exposition
