Two Nepalese artists bring out the river cities' hymn through canvasses .Bringing the serene tranquillity of spiritual cities through a series of prints and oil paintings, two renowned Nepalese artists — Uma Shankar Shah and Seema Sharma Shah — are exhibiting at Mumbai’s Jehangir Art Gallery from September 26 - October 2, 2022, from 11AM - 7PM.
Titled ‘Hymn of the River Cities’, the exhibition offers a unique multitude of artworks around Hindu and Buddhist mythologies, Hindu temples, Buddhist stupas and pagodas.
One of the most prominent and widely-exhibited artists in Nepal, Uma Shankar Shah’s works are modernist renditions of the forms and contents of early Nepali religious and folk arts and they depict the image of nature and Hindu mythologies appealing for the preservation of cultural heritage of Nepal. His cityscapes have myriad faces of the city abstracted and merged together in a symphonic form. In this exhibition, his works bring an air of mysticism, and religious and folk culture done intricately and painstakingly over two different mediums — bringing forth the Hindu heritage of Nepal through art. His co-exhibitor and one of the finest contemporary print makers in South Asia, Dr Seema Sharma Shah brings to Mumbai her unique artistic contemplations on Banaras, the city she was born in. In this exhibition, she showcases her recent work on the city of Banaras, a city she was raised in and remembers fondly. The ghats, temples, boats, sacred waters of Ganges and the spiritual skyline of Varanasi come alive in exhilarating detail in her works.
