Music Art Gallery presents ‘Mythical Real: A Visual Journey into Shared Consciousness’ from July 17 to August 17, bringing together the works of seventeen artists working across painting, sculpture, and mixed media.
The exhibit explores the enduring relationship between humans and nature in Nepal's mythology, ritual, and belief, treating hybrid and mythical figures as living expressions of shared consciousness.
Each of the participating artists believes that human beings exist within a larger continuum in which memory, animals, landscapes, rituals, and culture remain profoundly interconnected.
“These projects were initiated to understand the nature of Nepali modern art through its own sociocultural foundations,” says curator Saroj Bajracharya. “Rather than viewing modernity as detached from history, they propose that contemporary artistic consciousness remains deeply intertwined with inherited rituals, myths, philosophies, and collective memory.”
Therefore, ‘Mythical Real’ becomes a thoughtful meditation on the dialogue between myth and reality, past and present, humanity and nature, the visible and the invisible.
