Young artist Dhwoj Gurung presents his take on plein-air watercolor and acryclic landscapes and scenes. Basically, the term ‘plein-air’ is a French manifestation which means "in the open air" and is mostly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.Dhwoj’s work resonates with color and form and his freestyle appoach balances visual drama with academic painting.His images may seem carefree but the thought and composition that he has brought forth provides a unifying framework for his visual elements. En-route developing a personal art philosophy, Dhwoj is currently pursuing the third year of his BFA at Lalitkala Campus.Originally from Daraundi, Dhwoj is an avid traveler and cyclist, having covered an impressive tract of ground all over Nepal: from Nuwakot to the ABC circuit to Janabahal, he depicts all the inspiration into his art. This quarterly exhibition represents a step in Dhwoj’s journey. More than 25 paintings selected from his trips will be showcased from 11 January to 12 April as part of Park Gallery’s fourth quarterly show. An artist-in-progress, these landscapes represent the foundations of Dhwoj’s visual sensitivity.
