Govinda Sah ‘Azad’: Boundless Possibilities

New solo exhibition of mixed media works that contemplate the force and energy of nature. The artist utilises smoke and three dimensional objects on canvas, as well as traditional oils.

This summer’s exhibition marks Sah’s third showing at October Gallery. Born in Nepal, where he studied Fine Arts at Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, before completing his MFA at Wimbledon College of Arts, in 2008, Sah now lives and works in London.

Effortlessly balancing traditional eastern metaphysical insights about the nature of reality with visual realisations that are in accord with the latest formulations of contemporary western science, Govinda Sah imagines a cosmos of boundless possibilities. A painter of tempestuous skies and cosmic explosions, Sah is drawn towards the unknown, intuitively shaping a response to the question: How was the universe created? Sah cannot conceive a universe without logic and purpose and yet his impulse is to ‘seek the sacred’.
