TSEWANG TASHI
Born in 1963 in Lhasa, Tsewang Tashi is a founding member of the Gedun Choephel Artists' Guild. In 1984 he graduated from the Fine Arts department of the Central University for National Minorities in Beijing. He also completed a Master's degree in Art from the National College of Art and Design in Norway and is currently Associate Professor at the Arts department of Tibet University. His works have been exhibited in international museums and galleries, and he has published papers pertaining to Tibetan art education and painting.
Tsewang Tashi uses his physical environment, real people and contemporary life as a source of inspiration. He avoids incorporating certain elements in his work that would perpetuate the myth of Tibet as Shangri-La and believes that contemporary art cannot be created when contemporary life is ignored.
