- Lot Description
Details: Limited Edition Numbered Print, Archival Pigment Ink on Hahnemuhle Fine Art Print, 2017, 30" x 30"
Description: At the center of the composition is a childhood image of the 14th Dalai Lama, surrounded by the divine of White Tara and Green Tara. The Dalai Lama is traditionally regarded as the human embodiment of Avalokiteshvara the Bodhisattva of Compassion, who looked upon the suffering of sentient beings and was overwhelmed with compassion. From his left eye, a tear fell and gave rise to White Tara, embodying serenity, healing, and longevity. From his right eye, another tear fell and manifested as Green Tara, representing dynamic compassion, protection, and swift action. By placing sacred imagery within a fractured, contemporary form, Tsherin Sherpa shows how compassion can serve as a unifying force. Even in the midst of fragmentation and change, compassion has the power to create balance and bring order out of chaos.
About the Artist: Born in Kathmandu, Tsherin Sherpa works and resides in California and Nepal. From the age of 12, he studied traditional Tibetan thangka painting with his father, Master Urgen Dorje. In 1998, Sherpa immigrated to California, where he taught traditional thangka painting at Buddhist centers until he began to explore his own style, reimagining tantric motifs, symbols, colors, and gestures placed in contemporary compositions. Tsherin borrows imagery from classical Tibetan Buddhist iconography to abstract, fragment and reconstruct the traditional image, and to investigate his personal diasporic experience and the dichotomy where sacred and secular culture collide.
