Description
Youdhisthir Maharjan was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, in 1984. He attended military boarding school for ten years, studying sciences and mathematics. He received his undergraduate degree in creative writing and art history from New England College in New Hampshire, and an M.F.A. in conceptual printmaking from the University of Idaho. His text-based works have been published and exhibited internationally. His techniques are old and new at the same time. Many of his drawings and collages evoke the graphic conventions. Because of his aim of going to medical school, his visual conventions of the scientific texts find their way into some of his works. His approach to text is definitely scientific, methodical, and algorithmic. In this one of a kind podcast, learn more about the artist!
