About ‘Forms of Abstraction’
The exhibition highlights abstraction as an ongoing and evolving artistic language in Nepal, showcasing work developed over many years of practice. Supported by the Saraf Foundation, ‘Forms of Abstraction’ presents a current overview of abstract art practices in Nepal, featuring over 26 living Nepali artists who have been continuously engaged in abstraction across themes such as motion, emotion, nature, architecture, geometry and culture. Rather than a break from tradition, the exhibition shows how abstraction in Nepal has grown over time while staying connected to earlier artistic approaches and traditions. Artists use gesture, rhythm, and material to express inner experiences and layered meanings, carrying forward the meditative and symbolic qualities of earlier traditions into contemporary forms.
About the one-day Workshop
When we look at art, something stirs within us. There is an urge for humans to engage in this translation of inner to outer to inner process where something springs from deep within an artist, and their art is given out to the world for people to perceive, and form connections with it. This leads to the possibility that art can have multiple interpretations depending on how and what we see or choose to see. So, can multiple perspectives - on a piece of art and beyond - resonate with the idea of abstraction? Join us in this workshop to explore the idea of abstraction through different forms of abstract art.
