Currently all my works deal with the idea of impermanence with
optimism
Methodologically speaking the application of pastel colours give me
the experience of beauty at its most fragile - the possibility of
it being smudged truly put the artist in a place which is constanty
thrilling and makes him most heedful.
The lines refer to my upbringing as a refugee (which is deeply
rooted in me) the lines in that context are used to express my
parents and most Tibetans that fled Tibet and lived in Nepal - as
their source of income depended upon the carpets they produced - so
the lines are applied as a carpet graph. However this emotion
oftentimes remains subordinated, and this brings me to the next
idea.
Lines also refers to the tradition of Tibetan Thangkha art wherein
the lines are always subordinated to over-painting, so I
intentionally try to play the middle-way approach (as Nagarjuna
says) or the fusion of two binaries, wherein they are both happily
married! Above all, I think the true rationality behind me making
"art" is based on an addiction.
This work was exhibited in Tradition Transformed - Tibetan Artists Respond, Rubin Museum of Art, New York (11 June - 18 October 2010), which later travelled to Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth (15 January - 13 March 2011) and The Crow Collection of Asian Art, Dallas (21 May - 11 September 2011).
