Murshida Arzu Alpana

I paint rooms I can no longer visit and weather I can no longer stand in. The work begins in memory and is corrected by observation, never the other way around.

Each canvas is worked over months, often to the point where the first painting is entirely buried. What remains visible is only the last argument the surface and I had.

Murshida Arzu Alpana is a visual artist working in Dhaka. She studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Dhaka, and has painted continuously for more than three decades.

GOHIN is her studio and private exhibition space, where work from her earliest years through to the present is shown to visitors by invitation.
