MA Fine Art (Painting) alumnus, Govinda Prasad Sah, recently exhibited his collection of paintings, ‘Emotions in Motion’, at the Siddhartha Art Gallery. The exhibition, which was inaugurated by John Tucknott, the British Ambassador to Nepal, takes viewers on a journey through a spectrum of emotions.
Govinda, who was born in the Terai region of Nepal, studied under Newari instructors at Kathmandu College of Fine Arts. He then went onto study at Tribhuvan University before moving to the UK where he graduated with a Masters in Fine Art at Wimbledon College of Art in 2008.
Inspired by Newari art and Varinya Buddhism, Govinda’s paintings capture the most complicated notions of eastern philosophy, human nature and life. Some of Govinda’s paintings have been sponsored by both the British Council in Nepal and the Egyptian Ambassador to Nepal. He was also short-listed for the prestigious John Moore’s Contemporary Painting Award in 2010.
