The Embassy of the Netherlands has organized a special, month-long solo exhibition of the renowned Bangladeshi artist Priti Ali titled ‘Power of Pain and Pathos 2’ at the embassy's Gallery Residence in the city's Gulshan 2.
Inaugurated on January 17, the exhibition is featuring 40 paintings of Priti Ali.
The inauguration ceremony was joined by several prominent personalities and delegates, including the Dutch Ambassador to Bangladesh Andre Carstens, eminent Bangladeshi-Spanish artist Monirul Islam, and CEO of WildTeam Dr Anwarul Islam.
Born in 1986, Priti Ali spontaneously paints in the abstract expressionist style. Her artwork depicts various manifestations of human emotions and feelings, exploring the meaning of life amid good and evil while surrendering to nature.
An ardent follower of pure abstract expressionism, Priti Ali specifies that her paintings are very much connected to humans’ affection, ecstasy, anguish and isolation. An emotionally charged painter, she draws what she feels from the core of her soul.

Her paintings can be explained in many ways where one can find the touch of mysticism; some can get the taste of harmony, melancholy or despair. In her paintings, one feels the lament of a lonely soul, an underlying sorrow or a feeling of bareness.
