Kesang Ramdark was born in Dharamsala, India in 1963 and returned to Tibet, but soon after moved to Switzerland, where he continues to work today in Zurich. Ramdark uses a variety of materials in his work, which seem to weave in and out of his complex origins. Plastic sculptures and mirrored light boxes are evidence of his exiled multicultural upbringing. His search for appropriate cultural space ultimately turns inward, and he works to understand and reconnect with his Tibetan heritage while placing himself in Europe. Ramdark's western Tibetan identity lies in his ability to understand and find balance in both Tibetan and Western cultures. By combining unusual materials, from hair to plastic, beer cans to nail polish, Ramdark connects his work with his own life.
Tsering Sherpa was born in Kathmandu, Nepal in 1968 and currently lives and works in California and Kathmandu. Sherpa began studying traditional Tibetan Thangka at the age of 12. After studying computer science and Mandarin in Taiwan, Sherpa returned to Nepal and worked with his father, an active traditional thangka artist, on several important mural projects, including thangkas and a monastery. 1998 Sherpa moved to California and began exploring his own identity. He began to explore his own identity. He reexamined the motifs, symbols, colors, and gestures of traditional Tibetan esoteric tantra and incorporated them into his contemporary art expression. Sherpa will represent the Nepal Pavilion at this year's Venice Biennale with his solo exhibition "Tales of Muted Spirits - Dispersed Threads - Twisted Shangri-La". In Japan, his work was presented at the 2020 Yokohama Triennale.
Tenzin Rigdol was born in 1982 in Kathmandu, Nepal and currently lives and works in New York. He works across a variety of media including painting, sculpture, drawing and collage, digital, video installation, performance, and site-specific pieces. Rigdor is strongly influenced by philosophy and his work captures issues of ongoing conflict. Politics and the various issues surrounding it are inevitable subjects of his work. Rigdol is also widely known for his documentary film Bringing Tibet Home (2014). The film was motivated by his father's last words and documents the smuggling of 20 tons of Tibetan soil by truck to Dharamsala, India, where many Tibetan refugees live, following the path of the exiles.
Nortze was born in Lhasa, Tibet in 1963 and continues to be based in Lhasa. His work deals with issues that Tibet and many people around the world share: the sacred and the profane, global warming, environmental degradation, overpopulation, alcoholism, youth, the erosion of culture and tradition, and the desire to establish one's own identity, the world of mass media.
