Acclaimed Nepalese artist Tsherin Sherpa boldly explores the complexities of some of the most pressing social issues of the 21st century, including migration and the ways in which traditional cultures respond to the challenges and opportunities of internationalization. He does this by recontextualizing tradition Himalayan Buddhist art with a new contemporary relevance.

This major solo exhibition includes more than twenty paintings, sculptures, and a carpet, some of which are well-known artworks that established Sherpa as a significant voice in the world of contemporary art, as well as new pieces on public view for the first time.  

Sherpa brings a personal perspective to migration in his art, asking how the spirits of Himalayan Buddhism with which he grew up and whom he learned to depict as a young artist might adapt to the stresses and opportunities of migration as they move through today’s world together with the Himalayan people.
