Peak Art Gallery is pleased to present exhibit 75, featuring the work of Tibetan Contemporary artists living in refugee settlements in India.    The opening reception is being held on Tuesday, July 6, 2010, 6:00-8:00 p.m., in honor of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s 75th birthday.  The event is free and open to the public, light refreshments will be served.

The group exhibit incorporates the works of eight Tibetan Contemporary Artists working in various mediums including, oil water colour, and mixed medium.  Each of the pieces in the exhibit offers a poignant reflection of refugee life.

When first confronted with the collection the diversity of prospective is largely apparent.   Each artist offers differing representation, and the juxtaposition between the hyper-real work of Sonam Wangchuck and Dr. Dawa, and the abstract nature of Tenzin Dakpa’s and Dukte’s works reflects the varied experiences of living in exile.
