Biography

Ashesh Maharjan (b. 1988) is a Nepalese artist based in New York City. His most recognizable work consists of a series of multicolored linocut prints which combines human figures with abstract forms to create motion. He also creates vibrant prints of cityscapes, illustrating the interaction between architecture and natural elements.

Maharjan received his Bachelor’s degree in Art from Randolph College in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 2014. His work has been featured in various group exhibitions, including Works on Paper at CoreArt Space in Colorado, Juried Show at Prince Street Gallery, and Ephemeral Threads at Gallery MC in New York.

My work explores opposites—old and new, East and West, abstract and figurative, natural and man-made, craft and art.
