  Tenzin Jigme - Windhorse

  Silkscreen, signed by the artist

  18 X 14

  2014

  This work originated from a spontaneous and impassioned desire to visit a place made inaccessible by political constraints. For the artist, it embodies a yearning to visit Tibet, reminiscent of the myriad Lungta flags that flutter on its high mountains. The images of the three horses symbolize the power of perseverance and control over one's fate. This work resonates with hope and the aspiration for influence and change in the future. 

  About the Artist: 

  Tenzin Jigme is a contemporary artist born in Lhasa, Tibet. He works with oil, acrylic, graphic art, mixed media and photography. He studied painting in India and received an MFA from Benares Hindu University in Varanasi. His works merge individual and collective memories of the people in exile, particularly those who have gone through displacement as children.
