KATHMANDU, April 10: Siddhartha Art Gallery at Babermahal Revisited is exhibiting the artworks of British artist Ilsa Brittain and a rare collection of Bhutanese textiles of Barbara Adams.



The exhibition was inaugurated by British Ambassador to Nepal John Tucknott MBE on Friday.[break]



Brittain’s oil paintings, titled ‘Female Substantive’, showcase captivating images of the female body.



They focus on femininity and are woven with lines and subtle colors. Brittain has previously exhibited her works in London, Paris and Moscow.



Also on display at the gallery is writer Adams’ collection of Bhutanese textiles.



Currently housed in the Textile Museum in Thimpu, Bhutan, the textiles provide a window to Bhutanese lifestyle.







Adams has exhibited her collection previously in Bhutan.



The proceeds from the sales of the textiles will be used to fund her social service initiatives.



Adams has also written a book on Bhutanese textiles, “Rare Asian Textiles”, which is now out of print.
