Traffic Paintings by Soni Shakya
Over recent decades the political instablity in Nepal has given rise to a plethora of problems. It effects everyone and how they live their lives each day.
To an outsider Nepal appears to be in a permanent state of chaos with power cuts, water shortages, pollution and traffic jams.
To local people the anarchy is normal. They have learnt to adapt their lives and with great resourcefulness each day they find solutions to the problems. They no longer expect order and have stopped searching for long-term solutions.
This series of paintings is about one of the problems that I meet daily as an artist travelling around the Kathmandu Valley. Traffic and traffic jams.
