On August 1, 2025, Kala Kendra in Lalmatia inaugurated "Opulence of Stone", the fifth solo exhibition of Maynul Islam Paul, a Bangladeshi sculptor born in the mid-sixties. Initially, his primary mediums were wood, clay, and metal, which were common among carving artists. Later, during his PhD at Rajshahi University, he had the opportunity to experiment with stone carving. The stone sculptures in this exhibition also offer a modern take on traditional subjects of three-dimensional art. In short, "Opulence of Stone" is a remarkable example of modern stone carving and sculpture.
