ART WITHOUT<br />
BORDERES<br />
The third edition of the painting exhibition Art without Borders<br />
was held at the Newa Chen Art Gallery in Patan from 12th<br />
-16th August, <strong>2017</strong>, featuring works by aspiring artist such<br />
as Pramila Bajracharya, Nar Bahadur BK, Namrata Singh,<br />
Krishna Dangol, Sarita Dangol and Tanaka Akiko.<br />
Since Buddha’s teaching and the value of selflessness<br />
seems to disappear in the modern era, the paintings at the<br />
exhibition worked as a medium to remind visitors about<br />
the principles of oneness. All paintings showcased at the<br />
exhibition were related to Buddhism and the teachings of<br />
Siddhartha Gautam in one way or other. The exhibition<br />
celebrated the core values of Buddhist philosophy.<br />
“Art is a medium that allows us to surpass all limits,<br />
regulations and obligations and transcends eras. This<br />
exhibition evidently has shared a platform to commemorate<br />
the great teachings of Buddha,” said Ms. Astha Prabha<br />
Tuladhar, proprietor of Women for Women Nepal. The<br />
coordinator of Newa Chen Art Gallery, Sarita Dongol<br />
mentioned the exhibition also ensures cultural exchange<br />
through amalgamation of national as well as international<br />
artists. •<br />
