Danger Dogs from Nepal – Folk Art from the Himalayas
Megh Raj
Megh Raj works near Chabahil Chowk in Kathmadu. His dogs are soulful and expressive. The painting of the pug, Kahuna Zen Dog, above, looks a bit like Matisse to me. This is a new direction from his earlier work for the Danger Dogs. His commissioned portrait of Barack Obama was super-successful and I believe it inspired his change of direction for the Danger Dogs as well. Previously, his backgrounds were minimal, but lovely, too.
