Paradise in a paper (mache) bowl
Kashmir has served as inspiration for many artists, but none have brought to life the beauty of the valley like the paper-mache artists, who depict the motifs of this paradise on earth with a rare elegance. Among all of the paper-mache artists, Mr. Khan stands tall. Honing his paper-mache skills since the age of 15, his work is rare for its deftness, detail, vibrancy, and elegance. Hold his work in your hand and you will be transported to the brooks, lakes, and orchards of Kashmir. A National Award winner, he is committed to seeing that this art-form is passed on to future generations and has trained over 60 students. We are honored to curate some of his finest works
