ART COLLECTION BY BINOD PRADHAN:
"The Solitude Of Colour"

Binod Pradhan is a dynamic member of the Kasthamandap Art Studio Group. Like his colleagues, he is inpired by the culture of the valley. His paintings depict a strangely un-peopled urban landscape where temples straddle the canvas. The few figures in these works have the heaviness of a monument and are used only in passing, as a point of reference. Though the temples in Pradhan's paintings emit a multihued cadence around them, there is a palpable silence or solitude in some of his cancases which is surreal. The Artist uses sharp black lines that sweep across the canvas to break with the mundane conVentional landscape. Vibrant colours are offset against each other along these black lines to reveal yet another architectural vista or detail. In Biond's earlier works form and dimension are sacrificed at the altar of colour.
