sujan chitrakar belongs to a historic community of traditional painters'-chitrakars- who are primarily responsible for the growth and development of the art of painting in nepal (kathmandu valley) - manifested in the religious paintings - paubha (thang-ka) and other ritual arts.brought up within this significant enfold of a rich tradition, sujan, however as very few other, has opted to express himself through a different visual language other than the home-grown art practices.this may have been the result of the academic discipline he has followed during his fine art education or is the outcome of his strong urge for an independent self-expression through a contemporary visual language, the mode which traditional art gives less priority to.

sujan chitrakar chooses strong conceptual contents to comprise with varied mode of expressions be it installations, videos, or performances. he feels one need not confine him/herself from the stylistic resemblance from the earlier works. as a result his work today stands alone high and above with strong conceptual and contextual contents expressed through justifiable visual mode. his works range from satire to statement, purest joy to his desolated moment, utopian fantasy to materialistic practicality, yet he balances his expressions through his ample understanding of visual design and trans-personalising capacity. his subtle interpretations of his global realities and his efforts to share his views through his visual tools indeed validate him to be dubbed as a contemporary young artist of nepal.
