Gallery 108 is hosting “Akasa: The Cosmic Wonder,” an immersive art and spiritual exhibition that brings together cosmic philosophy, meditation, and contemporary expression in the heart of Durbar Marg. Running from February 6 to March 1, 2026, the exhibition transforms the gallery space into a reflective environment where art functions as a tool for healing, awareness, and inner exploration rather than just visual appreciation.

Unlike conventional art exhibitions, Akasa unfolds as a living spiritual space. Throughout the exhibition period, visitors can take part in guided meditation sessions, learn techniques to connect with nature, and witness live miniature artworks being created in real time. The exhibition is deeply rooted in celestial philosophy, drawing inspiration from the 12 zodiac signs and the 9 planets, with the moon serving as a recurring and central force. Rather than focusing on detailed traditional Thanka-style imagery, the artworks explore energy, rhythm, and cosmic movement, inviting reflection rather than observation.

The exhibition also carries a strong social and emotional message. Themes of healing, balance, and women’s liberation run through the body of work, with a clear stance on consent and respect. The space encourages dialogue, stillness, and awareness, making it as much about inner experience as artistic expression.

Behind Akasa: The Cosmic Wonder is Jimmy Thapa, a 78-year-old senior spiritual artist whose practice is deeply connected to Vedic cosmology. Thapa works primarily with the energies of the moon, stars, and planetary systems, translating cosmic philosophy onto black canvases using acrylic colours. Known for his extraordinary vitality and presence, he brings decades of spiritual inquiry into his art.

Thapa describes himself as a spiritual artist because his works go beyond form and aesthetics. His paintings are created with intention, some infused with drops of Mount Kailash water, which he considers a healing element. During the exhibition, he personally guides meditation sessions and shares insights on spiritual awareness, healing, and cosmic connection.

A highlight of the exhibition is Thapa’s miniature artworks, some no larger than a visiting card. Despite their size, each piece carries a detailed spiritual narrative, reflecting his belief that energy and meaning are not dependent on scale.

Akasa: The Cosmic Wonder stands out as a rare convergence of art, spirituality, and social reflection in Kathmandu’s contemporary art landscape, an experience designed not just to be seen, but to be felt.
