Presenting the current overview of abstract art practices in Nepal, ‘Forms of Abstraction’, happening at Taragaon Next from April 2 to May 5, brings together twenty-six artists and 49 artworks.

Each work reflects sustained engagement with abstraction across decades.

The exhibit presents abstraction not as a departure, but as a continuum, an evolving language shaped through time, practice, and context. Through colour, rhythm, texture, and material, artists construct visual fields that evoke movement, meditation, and layered meanings.

The participating artists are Bidhata KC, Navindra Man Rajbhandari, Bijaya Maharjan, NB Gurung, Binod Pradhan, Nem Bahadur Tamang, Chandra Shrestha, Pramila Bajracharya, Govinda Dangol, Ramesh Khanal, Jeevan Rajopadhyay, Ratna Kaji Shakya, Kiran Manandhar, Reeta Manandhar, KK Karmacharya, Sagar Manandhar, Krishna Manandhar, Sangee Shrestha, Laya Mainali, Sharad Ranjit, Madan Chitrakar, Sunita Rana, Mukesh Malla, Sushma Rajbhandari, Nabendra Limbu and Vijay Thapa.

‘Forms of Abstraction’ also pays tribute to Bal Krishna Sama, Lain Singh Bangdel, Uttam Nepali, Indra Pradhan, Surendra Raj Bhattarai, Puran Khadka, Shankhar Raj Singh Suwal, and Prashant Shrestha for their contributions to Nepal’s art history.
