Agam Shrestha’s sculpture works and paintings emanate from quite the same theme. “In this world full of misery, I feel everyone still has to smile and I too am trying to make myself happy,” shares the artist. His distorted images on canvas and sculptures that have hints of smiles reflect just that.[break]
Anil Subba’s 3-D painting entitled ‘Swoyamrath’, installation of broken down clocks and most of his other works swank creativity.
In one of his installation projects, with under-wears and toilet papers hanging, the artist scribbles his rambles with concluding quote “Jhuli raheka le jhulai rahechha..” (the dangling ones dangle us along..). The installation entertained many visitors including a group of middle-aged ladies who giggled and mumbled as they glanced around.
Ritesh Maharjan, currently pursuing Bachelors in Ethnomusicology at Kathmandu University, adds music to the exhibit. Through his musical performance and childlike artworks, Maharjan blends the components together to achieve what he calls “Mokshya”.
Sudha Chaudhary paints and intentionally avoids too much of details. Her paintings don’t seem like they have much to say, with flowers and umbrellas floating in the air. But the artist connects with her canvases saying, “They are plain expression of my emotions.”
The exhibition is on till June 12. For an atypical art experience, the exhibition will be worth taking a tour.
