Tsherin Sherpa, (b. 1968) is a Nepalese artist who currently resides between California and Kathmandu. The foundation of his style stems from traditional Tibetan thangka painting, taught to him by his father. After immigrating to California in 1998, he began experimenting with his art by placing his traditional tantric style into a contemporary framework. His various mediums of works incorporate traditional motifs, colors, and symbolism which are repositioned into modern context, including composition as well as subject matter. His style reveals a parallel narrative to his own life experiences, as Tsherin Sherpa begins to incorporate different aesthetics, themes, and subject matter which reflect various cultures and time periods which he has witnessed. While there is a clear emphasis on Sherpa’s personal and artistic routes, viewers glimpsing at Sherpa’s various works are able to indulge and empathize with his exploration of visual and cultural experimentation, allowing one to develop their own unique take on his work. Tsherin’s work has been exhibited globally as well as being showcased by prestigious institutions, including representing Nepal at the 2022 Venice Biennale, as well as a recent solo exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art.
