Gonkar Gyatso

Résumé du livre

"We are delighted to present this major exhibition, a partnership that spans three public gallery spaces and events dedicated to the work of Gonkar Gyatso. Gyatso, a contemporary artist active in New York, Beijing, and London, has spent the past decade refining his practice, which interweaves traditional Buddhist iconography with the detritus of pop-culture. He is renowned for exploring issues of identity, globalisation, hybridity, and consumerism. By combining references to traditional Tibetan life and global mass-media culture that threatens to supplant it. Gyatso creates volatile, ambivalent imagery situated within the trajectory of Pop Art." -- foreword, p. 3.
