An intersection of art and poetry

Amit Kalla, one of the artists whose work is displayed at Siddhartha Art Gallery’s ongoing ‘Collective Expressions from India’ exhibition, shares how his work is a fusion of poetry and conscience.

As I strolled through the artworks of twelve modern Indian artists showcased in the ongoing exhibition at Siddhartha Art Gallery in Babar Mahal, Kathmandu, ‘Collective Expressions from India’, which runs until April 22, I couldn’t help but recall Leonardo da Vinci and Voltaire, as both viewed painting as akin to poetry, mirroring the sentiment I experienced during my visit.
