Tashi Dhargyal
Master Artist Studio
About Tashi
Tashi has trained and painted for over 15 years. For the past four years, he was the artist-in-residence at the Ganden Monastery in Dharamsala. He is both a master thangka painter and craftsman -- painting and decorating statues both for the Monastery and private customers. He currently lives in New York City, and works closely with his studio in India.
Tashi has traveled throughout India to work in monasteries to restore and decorate statues.
Tashi has been integral in the Tibetan art community. He studied under the late Ven, Sangye Yeshi, whom His Holiness the Dalai Lama personally invited to reactivate the long and rich tradition of thangka painting in Dharamsala by opening a school at the Tibetan Library of Works and Archives. When this first school was shut, due to restructuring of the Library buildings, Tashi worked with his teacher to start the Institute of Tibetan Thangka Art. Through his initiative, the ITTA was started, and staffed with the best teachers.
Tashi has shown his works along with his ITTA contemporaries at the Tibet House in New Delhi as well as at the Museum at is His Holiness’ the Dalai Lama’s temple in Dharamsala. In November 2009, one of his thangka was auctioned at Christie's in New York to benefit the Tibet House in New York.
His works have been commissioned by the likes of Jet Li as presents for HH the Dalai Lama.
This talented young artist will be showing his art in galleries throughout the US.
