By A CORRESPONDENT
A young artist Kailash K. Shrestha has announced his entry into the field with aptly titled “A Shift of Vision” solo painting exhibition.
The exhibition showcases his depiction of his feelings and his reaction to his surrounding world. As a young and budding talent, Shrestha is able to impress the audience with his deft strokes and artistic articulation.
“Over the past three years, the way I have seen how the world has changed my life. Every corner, every angle, every moment of silence has been important for me,” says the artist.
He has used canvas, paper, newspaper, cartoon board, jeans and sheet to create his paintings. His exhibition is hosted at Nepal Art Council.
“These paintings are a product of a process of growth. Each brush stroke, line, texture and edge is something that arose in the midst of a dialogue among myself, my paintings and the world,” said Shrestha who is happy to share his feelings through the artworks.
Amid a plethora of talented artists and painters of Nepal, Shrestha will need to prove his mettle through consistent hard works and untiring devotion to art.
“Kailash Kumar Shrestha, a young budding artist in our context, precisely seeks to assert the truth in a forceful way through his series of works. To make it a point, Kailash has chosen some very common forms or angles from his own surroundings (eg hanging roof eaves, or windows or doors conversing towards and unknown infinity etc) as the basic elements of his work,” writes artist Madan Chitrakar.
Shrestha’s solo exhibition was organized with the help of Kathmandu University and Lalitkala bi-monthly.
Rajendra Kumar Khetan, executive director of Khetan Group, inaugurated the exhibition on June 6. Addressing at the inaugural ceremony, Khetan said, “Shrestha’s works are reflections of the contemporary time.”
Adain Warlow, founder director of Arts and Design Center of KU, also praised Shrestha for his hard work. The exhibition will continue till June 12.

The Everest Insurance was among the sponsors of the “Loktantric Everest Expedition Team”. Rajendra Kumar Khetan acting Chairman of Everest Insurance, speaking on the occasion, said that the Nepali Corporate Sector will continue to celebrate the achievements by youths.
He said that the company will do more to help uplift youths in future. Khetan stressed the significance of hard work by the youths in order to make the current transition successful and build a prosperous new Nepal.
At the program to felicitate Sherpa, youth leader Gagan Thapa said that although the political situation looks precarious at the moment and the country’s future gloomy, the people can turn their dream into reality through unity and perseverance. “If we look back at the spontaneous peoples’ participation during the Janaandolan-II, we can observe that if the youths unite once again, we can easily turn our dreams into realities.”
