Ashesh Maharjan (b. 1988) is a Nepalese artist based in New York City whose work explores the space between opposites—old and new, East and West, abstract and figurative.  His most recognizable work consists of a series of multicolored linocut prints in which he combines human figures with abstract forms to create a feeling of motion. He also creates vibrant prints of cityscapes, illustrating the interaction between architecture and natural elements, reflecting his ongoing interest in how the urban and organic coexist.

Maharjan received his Bachelor’s degree in Art from Randolph College in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 2014. His work has been featured in various group exhibitions, including Works on Paper at CoreArt Space in Colorado, Juried Show at Prince Street Gallery, and Ephemeral Threads at Gallery MC in New York. In 2024, he held his first solo exhibition, Watercolors of Sunnyside, at Sunnyside Arts in Queens.

This portfolio also consist of his recent watercolor paintings and painted vases in collaboration with ceramic artist, Karen Viaene.
