A photography exhibition is organized to mark the first International Sagarmatha Day on May 29, which will be observed every year on the same date. Korean photographer and poet Kim Hyanung Hyo in collaboration with Nepali artist B K Nar Bahadur have come up with an art and photography exhibition at Nepal Tourism Board (NTB), Exhibition Road from yesterday.
The exhibition displays twelve photos and paintings by Hyo and BK, respectively. “The mystique charm of Mt Everest, the highest peak of the world seems to remain perennially same in spite of the passage of time,” Madan Chitrakar remarked pensively after observing the paintings.
All the paintings by artist BK were created at Everest Base Camp itself.
The inauguration ceremony was preceded by poetry recitation by poet Manjul and artist and art writer Madan Chitrakar.
As Chitrakar further comments, “The exhibition becomes more exciting and meaningful after discovering the fact that the exhibits remain the latest and the fresh images from there. They've just arrived with these images so as to make it possible to celebrate this day (First International Sagarmatha Day).”
The exhibition will run through June 1.
