The Wild Gallery is featuring works by creative visual artists related to the Tibetan World. This selection showcases a range of work by the contemporary Tibetan artist Kelsang Lamdrak who is based in Switzerland.
Kelsang Lamdrak was
born in Dharamsala, India in 1963 and grew up in Switzerland. After
apprenticing and working as a interior architect there, he studied
at the Parsons School of Design in New York, and Colombia University.
Searching for appropriate cultural space for himself, he always
felt like an outsider until eventually he came to understand and
reconnect with his heritage while living in the west. His displaced
multicultural upbringing allowed him a broad personal energy. As
an artist he combines unusual materials and ultimately his life
and work are about bringing together the unfamiliar. From Tibet
to India, Switzerland to America, from hair to plexi and butter
to nail polish, his unusual background is the driving force behind
his art.
