‘Forms of Abstraction’, an exhibition curated by Roshan Mishra, highlights abstraction as an ongoing and evolving artistic language in Nepal, showcasing work developed over many years of practice. The exhibition opened to the public on April 2 at 4 pm at Taragaon Next with a performance by Sundar Lama.
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 approach 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.
