Curators Leigh Miller and Tony Scott bring this history making exhibition to Red Gate Gallery.The fact that Tibet even has a contemporary art scene is little known outside of Lhasa. US academic, Leigh Miller, has been studying Tibetan religion, culture, history and language since 1997. Her interest in contemporary Tibetan art began in 2001 when she saw some contemporary paintings in a cafe in Lhasa and realized that there was a new cultural expression happening. In 2004 she began field work with contemporary Tibetan artists towards a PHD. Her passion for the subject has meant that she is now recognized by the artists themselves as one of the only true experts in this little known field.Together with Australian painter, Tony Scott she has curated an extraordinarily varied group of work for this show, including paintings, photography and ice Buddha's that melt away before the viewers eyes. An antidote to the normal touristy images of Tibetan life, this exhibition is not to be missed.Exhibition preview will Open on Saturday May 26, 3 – 6 pm.
