If you shed some light on your talent, then obviously you win loads of accolades. But if your talent supplements a noble cause, then certainly the admiration for you knows no bounds. And this is what the twelve students of the Nepal Fine Arts campus are being recognized and appreciated for.

The young artists have united to organize a group exhibition under the Heart Beat Series to help disadvantaged children. A total of 35 paintings and a few sculptors have been put up at the gallery inside Baryo Fiesta in Naxal.

With themes ranging from human emotions to nature to semi-abstract paintings, and by using various media like acrylic, oil, water and pastel, the young artists have proven that the country has no dearth of creative talents.

And the two-fold purpose behind this exhibition is utterly commendable. “We have decided to contribute 30 percent proceeds of this exhibition for Children’s Art Project 2007. Children of Jana Kalyan Primary School in a village in Nagarkot will be taught the art of painting and given educational materials,” said Juju Kaji Maharjan, program coordinator of the exhibition. “We also welcome other contributions from those who are interested,” he added.

Twelve talented artists including Sapana Shah, Pramit Dhakal, Manju Shyaula, Anil Maharjan, Uday Karmacharya, Rajan Maharjan, Raj K. Prajapati, Sujan Dangol, Aabhushan Duwal ‘Bhusan’, Sachin Yogol Shrestha, Santosh Shrestha ‘Rashav’ and Mekh Bahadur Limbu Subba have put their paintings at the exhibition.

The exhibition, which kicked off on July 2 will continue till August 2.

And this exhibition not only portrays the paintings of these young artists but also exhibits their magnanimous sides.
