A retrospective exhibition of eminent sculptor Hamiduzzaman Khan's works opened at the Bangladesh National Museum (BNM) on Friday.

Eminent political scientist and art critic Professor Borhanuddin Khan Jahangir was the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony, while noted writer Mafidul Haque was the main discussant. Muhammad Aziz Khan, chairman of the Summit Group of Companies was present at the event as special guest. Renowned painter Hashem Khan chaired the session.

Director General of BNM Faizul Latif Chowdhury said the exhibition displays works from the past and present of Hamiduzzaman Khan's career, and through it one can understand the artist completely.

“I try to first understand the media that I am working in,” Khan said at the programme, “and that is how I find artistic inspiration in any media.”

Hamiduzzaman Khan, born in 1946 in Kishoreganj, completed his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the erstwhile Dhaka Art College (now Faculty of Fine Art, Dhaka University) in 1967, and did his Master's and higher studies in Baroda, India and New York, USA. The artist, who received the Ekushey Padak in 2006, has exhibited internationally and has created a number of notable sculptures seen in Dhaka and across the country.
