The many dimensions of Nepali art

The paintings of younger artists show some features that are very encouraging.

It was a revealing experience to visit the Himalayan Art Festival organised by E-Arts Nepal from September 26-30 at the Nepal Art Council. About 150 works of art put under different rubrics according to their mediums were on display. The exhibition provided a number of things for viewers and art lovers. These activities organised by the younger generation of artists, mostly painters, open up multiple perspectives of art in general and Nepali art in particular. But this exhibition struck me as something different because of a number of reasons. It was organised by the same group of the young generation of artists who have been doing the rounds of art exhibitions.
