Losang Gyatso
Losang Gyatso was born in Lhasa, Tibet but has lived most of his life in the UK and the US. He started making art in the early 1990s while working as an advertising art director in New York City. Initially a process of reconciling his own identity after having lived for decades in exile, his work evolved over time from explorations of Tibetan petroglyphs, mythology, and Buddhist ideas, towards a more universal, abstract, and playful way of seeing the world that some have described as being both sensual and spiritual.
