Chungpo Tsering
Chungpo Tsering lived a life that spanned continents and causes – born in Dhingri, Tibet, raised in exile and later discovering his artistic voice in America. His journey was shaped by a deep commitment to both his art and activism, with his work reflecting the struggles and resilience of the Tibetan community.
Best known for his charcoal pieces, a talented artist, a brilliant storyteller, a powerful dreamer, and a creative genius who transformed everything he touched into a work of art. His first solo exhibition in Nepal, entitled Charcoal Paintings, captured the attention of major news media in Nepal, praising him for his unique aesthetic blend of politics and art. Later in 2004, he found Nepal’s first contemporary Tibetan art gallery, creating a space for both artistic expression and political activism.
As our beloved Tendor La writes, “His art was inseparable from his activism”. With his work, his passion, his dreams, and his surroundings, Chungpo lived a life that fused his love for art and his fight for justice. Though his passing left a great void in all of us, Chungpo’s work continues to inspire all who knew him, as his art and memory live on.
