Hit Man Gurung was born in Lamjung, Nepal and is currently based in Kathmandu. Gurung’s works are concerned with some of the most pressing socio-political issues of Nepal, including internal and international mass migration, the legacy of the decade-long Maoist insurgency in the country, as well as the recent pervasive effects of global capitalism in Nepal. Coming of age after the revolution that replaced a homogenizing Hindu monarchy with a federal republic that has been acknowledging, at least nominally, the country’s profound diversity, his generation has channelled the ethos of re-founding the country’s conceptual basis, questioning every aspect of their surrounding reality. Deeply concerned with the impact of these larger forces on individuals, communities, and society at large, Gurung infuses his paintings, documentary photo collages, performance and installation works with political conviction and personal poetry. With his partner Sheelasha Rajbhandari he works as a cultural organizer in various projects and both are active as co-founders of the artist collective Artree Nepal. Together they also conceived “12 Bishakh - Camp.Hub” Post Earthquake Community Art Project, a seminal project carried out in the aftermath of the 2015 Kathmandu Valley Earthquake.
