The title “Ten Shades” is a summarized expression of the core concept at the heart of this exhibition. It symbolizes diversity, multiplicity, and the distinct individuality of each artist. The ten participating artists come from varied social, cultural, and psychological backgrounds. Their thoughts, experiences, and artistic practices are different in nature—but it is precisely this diversity that makes their works unique and powerful. The convergence of these diverse perspectives has given rise to a vibrant yet delicately structured artistic framework, where each artist’s voice enters into a profound dialogue with the others.

Overall, the name “Ten Shades” represents not a single color, but rather an inward and outward artistic journey composed of multiple hues, emotions, intentions, and positions.

The exhibition features a wide range of works—abstractions, calligraphy, explorations of the human body in relation to nature, reflections on the passage of time, and more. Artist Sazzadur Rahman Shihan is drawn to abstraction. In his paintings, the disruption and construction of color merge with the subject to spark a kind of revolution of perception. Artist Sheikh Humaira Asfaq is fascinated by the beauty of letters and language. Skilled in crafting words through calligraphic forms, her work prominently features Arabic scripts rendered in a contemporary style. Artist Protyasha Mahmud is inspired by folk traditions. Through bold colors and fluid lines, she reinterprets folk motifs in a modern light, blending heritage with creativity in her visual expressions.
