This collision of human greed and nature is the subject of Binod’s new work. Recent climate change and global warming concerns are viewed as part and parcel of this collision. As a concerned global citizen, the artist composes landscapes of doom from his imaginaire. An incandescent palette captures a world at an apocalyptic precipice: rivers of glacial ice swallow up settlements, the sea is overturned, aquatic life is terminated, forests are plundered, human greed renders the air noxious and a mutant race is born. Even the divine hand, a repeated image in his works, is stunted here. And yet somehow the bizarre and blighted conditions fail to be threatening due to the heady play of colours. However it is important that we take note of the prophetic scenarios presented before us as Nepal is listed as one of the most vulnerable countries that will be impacted by climate change.
