Group art show to be organised
Post Report
KATHMANDU, Jan 24 - Seven artists from four
different countries are to exhibit their paintings in the Nepal Art Council gallery from
Thursday onwards.
The group exhibition, entitled Made in Nepal
2001 is the result of one-month-long workshop held in Kathmandu, the organiser Sangita
Thapa of Siddhartha Art Gallery told reporters today.
One of the artists, Jac Gijzen, 44, said that
working with artists from different countries and cultural background motivated him to
learn from others and thus produce something unusual than his usual creations. "We
are contemporary artists and obviously, we want to cross the limits," he said.
Gijzen is interested in Buddism and Hindu
religion and since the past 20 years, he has been visiting the Himalayan Kingdom almost
every year. Another artist, Laila Mookerjee said that in her country it was very cold and
this was reflected in her paintings by predominant grey. "But here, everything is so
burning and bright. Even a flower to me sparks out like a ball of fire."
The group of artists include Jac Gijzen, Rob de Graaf, and
Peter Schenk from the Netherlands, Rolf A Kluenter, Laila Mookerjee from Germany, Prakash
Chandawadkar from India and Jyoti Dawadi from Nepal.
