Nepalese Exchange: Phoenix Art Materials Empowers Nepalese Art in China Artists Association Selection

Beijing, December 30, 2025—Amid the rising tide of “coexistence” in the art world, Sino-Nepalese cultural exchange reaches new heights. The China Artists Association recently announced the selection for the “2026 Sino-Nepalese Art Mutual Appreciation Exhibition,” with works by Nepalese young artists Ishan Pariyar and Krishna Lama standing out. As loyal partners of Phoenix Art Materials, their creative journey reflects how art supplies bridge Eastern craftsmanship with South Asian inspiration.

Ishan Pariyar, an promising Nepalese visual artist, blends mandala patterns with abstract narratives in his unique style, with his work Coexistence (created in 2025) selected. His piece is concise yet full of tension, capturing the eternal dialogue of the Himalayas. ” That stable grip without bend’ tactile perfectly supports the intricate layering of mandalas.” Ishan’s selection marks another example of Phoenix Art Materials empowering young Nepalese artists to “go global.”

Krishna Lama, the Kathmandu-based visual artist born in 1988, brings his profound academic background and international vision with Dissolving into Forms earning a spot. Krishna completed his Master’s in Fine Arts from Tribhuvan University’s Central Department of Fine Arts in 2012. He has held three solo shows and participated in numerous national and international exhibitions. He received the National Fine Art Award in 2017, 2024 and 2025. The 2015 Special Award from the Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, and second prize in Transparency, the International Nepal Painting Competition 2019. He participated in the International Performance Art Festival organized by Bindu Space for Artists in 2012, the ‘Imago Mundi Nepal Collection’ exhibition at Taragaon Museum Boudha Kathmandu, the Britto Student Residency Program at Bindu Space for Artists, Kathmandu 2011, and the residency art program Beyond Borders, organized by Cholamandal Artists’ Village, Chennai, India and Nepal Art Council, Nepal in 2023. Currently, he works as an art teacher. His work Dissolving into Forms draws from: “The things which were happening around me always provoked me to create dissolving form. Elongated figures in my paintings representations of memory images always floats inside my mind like fish in aquarium. Love, relation pain, impact of modernism are the main sources of my inspiration which I have expressed through different elements.” Krishna uses Phoenix Art Materials’ canvas roll and acrylic paints to layer abstract memory landscapes. “Phoenix’s roll unrolls smoothly,” Krishna says. “The resilience feels like Nepal’s rivers—natural and free, allowing multi-layer narratives. The acrylic paints’ ‘oily adhesion’ captures the dissolving flow of light and shadow in Himalayan themes.” Krishna’s selection validates Phoenix Art Materials’ role in supporting international residency artists—the canvas roll’s “modular storage” design saves 30% prep time during residencies, letting creators focus on “civilizational mutual appreciation.”

Phoenix Art Materials, China’s leading art supply manufacturer, has always upheld the “tactile innovation” philosophy, developing raw materials adapted for global creation. In this selection, Phoenix’s stretched canvas and canvas roll lines shone brightly. The stretched canvas’s “pre-treated even absorption” ensures seamless transitions between Nepalese mineral colors and modern acrylics; the canvas roll’s “moisture-resistant resilience” perfectly counters Kathmandu’s humid climate, preventing curling. “Ishan and Krishna’s works are vivid examples of Phoenix Art Materials’ coexistence with Nepalese art. We are not just suppliers—we’re cultural partners, helping artists capture inspirational moments.”

Following the announcement, Phoenix Art Materials’ website interactive zone buzzed with activity, as thousands of Sino-Nepalese art enthusiasts shared “mutual appreciation” quick sketches. In the on-site workshop, participants using Phoenix artist canvas panels praised the panels’ “solid outdoor rebound”—light pressure like Nepal’s highland gentle breeze, heavy forming Himalayan thickness. The workshop drew over 500 participants, selling 80 Phoenix starter kits and demonstrating the brand’s reputation in professional circles.

The “2026 Sino-Nepalese Art Mutual Appreciation Exhibition” will open next spring, with Phoenix Art Materials providing dedicated support, such as the “textured resilience canvas” series tailored for Nepal’s climate. Phoenix invites art lovers and professionals to visit the website and experience the supplies’ charm. For more details, contact the overseas department (email: tinachen@phoenix-arts.com).
