Vita / Lebenslauf:
Koshal Hamal’s (b. 1988, Nepal) works are engaged in a synthesis of appropriation, combining Western art with the historical format of miniature painting. Working in oil, he copies Western art historical works (and their gilded frames), in diminutive size, onto larger scale primed canvases. He grants these works the specialness of singularity, while simultaneously reevaluating and taking ownership – conceptually as well as culturally – through the act of appropriation and miniaturization.
Hamal received his BFA from Beaconhouse National University, Lahore (2011) on a South Asia Foundation Scholarship. His graduating exhibition was reviewed by Atteqa Ali: “The star of the show is a Nepalese artist Koshal Hamal. […] His paintings examine complicated concepts; however, Koshal does not reduce the significance of the form. Instead, his visually compelling technique is a kind of foil for heavy ideas. It’s a powerful trait found in the most interesting art made in Pakistan.”
