Brushing With A Cause
Artist Juju Kaji Maharjan makes paintings to contribute for the cause of children welfare
By A CORRESPONDENT
Artist Juju Kaji Marhajan's art exhibition entitled "Connection" is on at an art gallery in 1905 Kantipath.
One of the challenging and difficult tasks of artists is to capture the mood of the earth and mood of the human being. If one tries to combine them together, the results are always fascinating if not complicated.
In his solo art exhibition, this is what artist Maharjan has strived for. There is no doubt that chasing nature is a very difficult task but it is an opportunity as well. This is the reason why artist Maharjan has carefully tried to link the human relations with nature.
One of the important aspects of Maharjan's painting is that he has made efforts to highlight the importance of human and its relations with nature. Nobody can ignore nature and its influence on human life. Every human being is guided by nature and no one can go against it. This is the message he wants to convey to the youths.
At a time when the world is much commercialized and everybody wants certain benefits from the work one performs, artist Maharjan has tried his best to connect with the noble cause in social working though art painted for underprivileged children.
Although most of his paintings are abstract in nature, they are full of meanings and his own imagination displaying various moods of life and human society. By using various kinds of colors, artist Maharjan draws the agony and happiness of human life.
Human life is full of miseries and happiness. People have to face one or the other kind of situation in their life. But, only a few people have the caliber and capability to grasp the situation. Maharjan is one of them who has shown his talent in the paintings.
Artist Maharjan used primary colors to express his feelings and inner observation. In the abstract figure, Marhajan uses various kinds of colors to depict the world, nature and other horizons. He is able to convey what is in his mind. To make his paintings attractive and understandable, Maharjan uses bright hues and abstract figures.
He tries to depict the whole horizon merging the sky with the earth with the bright sun shining as a part of nature.
The exhibition has been organized with an aim to raise the fund for the children living in orphanages, Artist Maharjan's exhibition is for the charity art exhibition for orphans at Bal Mandir and 50 percent of the proceeds of the sale will go for the welfare of the children.
Presented by Earthbeat, which has been working to bring children and youths close to nature and culture through arts, music, sports and modern technology, Maharjan's exhibition tries to bring out this message through the arts.
