Dhaka:Artist Zain Eiffel is set to present his latest body of work in an exhibition titled 'Inkography A Chromatic Silence' at Alliance Française de Dhaka. The exhibition will open on Friday, November 13, at 6 pm at the institution's La Galerie.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the exhibition brings together a recent collection of artworks that explore the expressive possibilities of ink through imagination, experimentation, and visual discovery. Eiffel, working predominantly in monochrome, creates intricate compositions using lines, contrasts, rhythms, fragmentation, and repetition. The pieces reveal faces, figures, and abstract forms through layered patterns and geometric structures, establishing a visual dialogue between recognition and abstraction.
Eiffel's artistic process draws inspiration from society, human experiences, literature, and memory, alongside elements of Cubism, stencil aesthetics, and expressive artistic traditions. Influences from renowned artists such as Zainul Abedin, SM Sultan, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, and Oswaldo Guayasamín are also reflected in his practice. However, Eiffel’s distinctive approach to composition and mark-making imparts a unique visual identity to his works.
Through 'Inkography A Chromatic Silence', Eiffel invites visitors to engage with the interplay of intricate lines, bold contrasts, and visual rhythms, allowing for individual interpretations rather than presenting a predetermined narrative. The exhibition will remain open to visitors every day from 3 pm to 9 pm until November 18.
