REPUBLICA, KATHMANDU

A solo art exhibition of Chirag Bangdel, aimed at helping the underprivileged students of Filosofiska Nepal - Basundhara, was held at GG Machaan & Gallery, on Sunday. The organizers are aiming at raising funds for the school by selling the paintings on display.

Artist, Chirag Bangdel stated that the idea of helping the needy students through paintings came after meeting Shreejana KC. “I came to know from Shreejana Kc -- one of the board members of the school – about the need for the financial support. I instantly made up my mind, and organize an exhibition,” he told Republica at the end session of the exhibition.  

The exhibition explored the theme of ‘Love in Colours’, and comprised a total of 25 paintings. Though simple, the paintings were artistically presented on the canvas. It was evident that he was trying to present through his paintings. His work was a manifestation of nature’s beauty. 

Sabita  Dangol, a visual artist present in the exhibition praised Bangdel’s simplicity stating, “I liked the way he has played with colors. The object he has chosen flaunts the flavor of romance.”
