To mark 70 years of Nepal-France diplomatic relations, Alliance Française Kathmandu this week kicked off the France-Nepal Painting Exhibition inside its Jawalakhel premises. With the goal of bringing together contemporary Nepali and French artists, the exhibition displays works of Kiran Manandhar, Sagar Manandhar, B.K Nar Bahadur and Vincent Greby.
What’s most amusing about the exhibition is the variations in techniques between the four painters. B.K Nar Bahadur’s series entitled “Landscape” consists of fine acrylic paintings in cotton canvasses with great many colors. The abstract paintings show close Nepal-France relations, and includes the renowned French jewel, the Eiffel Tower. Kiran Manandhar’s “Love and Emotions” highlight the eyes and the lips, the most expressive parts of the whole human body. The thin, detailed lining of the lips is particularly noteworthy.
Sagar Manandhar’s “Khet Ka Katha Haru” celebrates nature with a contrast color pop in every painting. Besides these three Nepali painters, the only French artist in the exhibition, Vincent Greby, has his “Encounter” series, with its neat and organized lines. The delicate flowers in subtle hues seem to capture every imaginable human sentiment.
Indeed, the exhibition, which ends July 31, is a visual treat for all art lovers.
