Over 60 paintings collectively by Binod Pradhan and Bhairaj Maharjan have been put up for display at Siddhartha Art Gallery at Babarmahal Revisited. In an official inauguration ceremony held on 5 June, at around 5.30 p.m., the latest works by these two eminent Nepali artists were officially opened to the public. Inaugurated by Dr. Ghana S. Gurung, Conservation Program Director, WWF Nepal, the exhibition will remain at the gallery till the end of the month. "In my latest collection, I have tried to describe the relationship of man and nature, our connection to the environment and portray the importance of balance in nature." said Pradhan. To break the monotony of a single collection from an individual artist, the gallery combined two solo exhibitions to include Bhairaj Maharjan's works as well. Quite different from the nature-themed works of Pradhan, Maharjan's works were more spiritual and inclined towards Buddhism. "Ever since the conflict period in our country, I started working on something to find eternal solace. With this aim, I painted a Bhikshu entitled 'In search of Peace'. With time, my collection only kept increasing with similar paintings in my search for peace."said the artist. Also open for sale, the paintings were priced between Rs. 10000 to Rs. 80000.
