enough of all this politics, what a Free Planet needs is more contemplative philosophers aka artists. One of the most stylistically tenacious I've stumbled across accidentally whilst grazing is 35-year professional abstract artist Puran Khandka who uses four colours in his work.
Red. Grey. Black. White. And while this offers a Mondrian-like machine-metric to the emotio-visual experience for both artist and viewer, the inclusion of a solitary brown Line through his work illustrates the 'intrusion of the real' into the realm of the fantastical or desirable or imagined...
Neera Joshi of Park Gallery confirms Khadka had some hitches along the way. “I’m so proud to have Puran’s work here,” she tells us. “I remember when I first saw his abstract paintings in his studio at the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, he was struggling.” [source NEPAL TIMES]
