"Krishna's birth" by Anuragi Jha.

This picture shows the scene just after Krishna's birth where the god child is being smuggled out of prison in a basket on the head of his father Vasudeva

Anuragi Jha is one of the leading members of the J.W.D.C, a women's co-operative that has brought together some of the finest artists in the region of Janakpur. Freed from the constraints of traditional mural painting, these women are responsible for a renaissance of the art and culture of their region, and their work is becoming famous far beyond the borders of Nepal.

Although many of the artists at the J.W.D.C. have begun to deal with themes drawn from modern, everyday life, Anuragi Jha has continued to devote herself to reinterpreting the stories and legends of Hinduism with which she grew up. In "Krishna's birth", you will be able to approach Anuragi's world and contact the rich mythological traditions of the Hindu religion..

Anuragi Jha
Anuragi Jha is a highly respected storyteller and artist from the south of Nepal. Trained by her grandmother in the artistic traditions of the region, she is a deeply religious woman whose work illustrates the myths, legends and beliefs of Hinduism.

Didung Langdun

Didung Langdun is a young woman painter from Lhasa. Closely related to the family of the 13th Dalai Lama, she has trained in the traditional techniques of Tibetan art. Her work, however, is highly original and she has developed a personal style that while rooted in Tibetan tradition, is thoroughly modern in spirit and composition.


Master Artists from Janakpur
Janakpur, a busy commercial town on the Indo-Nepalese border, is the centre of an astonishing renewal of the artistic traditions of the ancient Maithil culture in the region. ArtWALLAH is promoting the work of these pianters, bringing their magnificent images to the attention of a wider public through our exhibitions.

Exhibitions

In addition to promoting the work of outstanding artists from around the world on the web, artWALLAH organises exhibitions in a variety of public and private gallery spaces.
