About

SHUNNYO presents multiple interconnected series of artworks by Bangladeshi visual artist Chandan Kumar Sarker, exploring diverse dimensions of human existence, perception, identity, memory, and the relationship between the individual and the surrounding world. The exhibition brings together multiple distinct yet interconnected bodies of work titled Antadhonuj, Swoalapon, Tribeni, Cityopokkhi, Khoshra, Rupdarshan, Tritio Biswho, Shasthaindrio, Mukhosree, Antadristi, Jugal, and Shunya Purna. Each series represents a different artistic inquiry, offering a visual exploration of ideas, emotions, experiences, and reflections that shape our understanding of life and existence. Through an experimental approach to materials and techniques, Sarker explores the expressive possibilities of pen, ink, paper, gouache, tempera, acrylic, watercolour, and stainless-steel (S.S.) sheet. The diversity of these mediums allows him to move between delicate expressions and bold visual compositions, creating a distinctive language that reflects his ongoing artistic investigations. At the heart of SHUNNYO is an exploration of the visible and invisible, the familiar and unfamiliar, and the relationship between emptiness and fullness. Rather than presenting a single narrative, the twelve series invite viewers to engage with multiple perspectives and discover their own interpretations through the artworks. SHUNNYO is both a presentation of artistic experimentation and a reflection of the artist’s evolving visual language. It encourages audiences to look beyond immediate appearances and consider the deeper connections between thought, perception, experience, and existence.
