Catalogue Note
Tsherin Sherpa is a contemporary Nepalese artist currently living and working in California, United States. He was born in 1968 in Kathmandu, Nepal, and studied traditional Tibetan thangka painting from his father, Master Urgen Dorje, a prominent thangka artist. He also studied Computer Science and Mandarin in Taiwan, and was a student of several Buddhist Masters learning Buddhist Philosophy from 1991 to 1996. Upon his return to Nepal, he and his father collaborated on many important works including monastery mural and thangka paintings. He emigrated to California in 1998 where he started to discover and create his individual style, contemporising traditional tantric emblems, colours, and motifs. His works have been exhibited worldwide, as well as are in many private collections across Europe, America, and Asia.
