Sheelasha Rajbhandari
Sheelasha Rajbhandari (b. 1988) earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Kathmandu University Center for Art and Design and is currently working on her MFA at the Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu. Her work has been shown in Bangladesh, India and Nepal and was included in the 14th Asian Art Biennale in Bangladesh. Rajbhandari also won first prize for Sculpture in the 2011 National Art Competition at the National Art Academy.
Rajbhandari examines the role that an individual idea has in relation to society in her artwork, and how traditional religious figures and concepts meld or are juxtaposed with the “rapid modernisation” that Nepal is currently facing.
