The Solo Art Exhibition of International Assamese Artist Nakibul Ghani Ahsan was opened by Eminent Artist Sri Noni Borpuzari after a brief meeting at the Gauhati Artists' Guild big conference room.

Each enthralled the gathered guests with their speeches, which were different in contents. Ms Begum who is an aunt, spoke about the Artist from his childhood days. Also, mentioned how the husband and wife team support each other in their creative pursuits.
Mr Borpuzari mentioned how figurative art is not so easy an art. He appreciated the Artist for holding this event here in his motherland even after spending decades in the UK and the US. How he has kept his passion alive all these years.
