- Title
Tibetan Buddhist Art in a Globalized World of Illusion: The Contemporary Art of Ang Tsherin Sherpa.
- Abstract
Until the last decade or so, Tibetan art was made almost exclusively for religious purposes in the form of thangkas or murals for Buddhist temples. Recently, however, a new movement has developed that transforms the art of Tibet to involve contemporary expressions and broader concerns. This article studies the paintings of one Tibetan artist, Ang Tsherin Sherpa, to show how he handles new secularized subject matter within a Buddhist context. In addition, it explains how his art joins debates of others produced not only in China and the Chinese diaspora but also across Asia generally.
