Stroke of genius

The two decades from the 1960s to the 1980s was a time when Nepali artists experimented with 'modernism'. Many artists who studied in India and elsewhere came back and lead the revolution and became vanguards of modern art in the country.


Park Gallery invites art enthusiasts to a special exhibition to reexamine and reevaluate the works that helped shape modern art in Nepal. The exhibition will also feature works of later artists to reassess the progress made in the later years.

Discussion with Saroj Bajracharya on 13 January,exhibition runs until 31 January Park Gallery, (01)5522307, www.parkgallery.com.np, free entry
