ART
Nepali art enthusiasts are overwhelmed with
the outcome of the project.The project might
not have reached to every artists but most of
the participants claim that no other exhibition
has been able to bring such a diverse flock of
creative people.From painters to sculptors,from
printmakers to traditional painters,the
exhibition showcased works of almost every
range of artists in and outside the valley.The
exhibition dislplayed works of various division
of artists and their own interpretation of art.The
emendation of the portraits included unique
collages and installations.Some portraits
depict minimal works of brush and colors
while some artists made detailed self portraits.
It was intereating to how a few manage to
voice the current issues like shortage of gas
and fuels.
Over 300 artists and their charismatic
embellishments,the exhibition was not only
pleasing to observe but it definitely set a
landmark in the contemporary art scene
in Nepal. Undoubtedly,the most significant
achievement of the project…from portrait to
self portrait …,The Nepam Album is that it
successfully united so many generations and
genre of artists.
