NEW IN OUR COLLECTION – TSHERIN SHERPA

We are excited to welcome a Nepalese artist Tsherin Sherpa in The Kotanko Collection.

Tsherin Sherpa has just represented Nepal at the 59th Venice Biennale with a solo exhibition, marking the first time that Nepal is participating in this preeminent art event. Sherpa began studying traditional Tibetian painting at the age of 12, with his father Master Urgen Dorje Sherpa who was a renowned traditional thangka painter. Now living between California and Kathmandu, Sherpa then developed his very own unique style, reimagining traditional motifs resolutely placed in contemporary compositions of great social relevance.

The work we selected together with Fabio Rossi at Rossi & Rossi gallery in Hong Kong features school children on their way crossing a valley, which is based on a real situation, framed with traditional Nepalese motifs.
