All of my paintings show unintentional emotion, painting to me is Buddha nature in my heart, which I admire and respect unconditionally. My painting is different from Western painting, which emphasizes realistic description or expresses individuality and so on. Also it is different from Chinese traditional painting. Rather it is under the premise of faith and devotion. And it is the art language of the spirituality of our nationality, I am trying to find out the common point between the ancient Tibetan traditional art and Western avant-garde art.
Ang Sang is one of many emerging contemporary Tibetan artists. Ang Sang was born in Lhasa, Tibet in 1962. He studied painting, including the traditional Thangka (religious scroll) style, at Tibet University and graduated in 1988. That same year, he won a prize for his artwork Lamb at the Tibet Contemporary Art Exhibition in Beijing. Since then, Ang Sang has won several other prizes. They include an outstanding prize for Feeling of Tibet at the 1997 China Art Exhibition and a prize in 1998 from Literature and Art of the Holy Land, Lhasa Government’s highest art prize. Additionally, his paintings Backing Home and Tibetan Girl have been chosen for both the Eighth and Ninth National Fine Art Exhibitions in 1994 and 1999, respectively. Sang is one of the founding members of the GedunChoephel Artists Guild, Lhasa’s only cooperatively owned art gallery. He currently resides in Lhasa, Tibet.
My purpose is to set up a special art language and soul of painting, which is based on our traditional and folk art, and to create special artworks, which have both nationality and modern characteristics. The more it expresses our nationality, the more it will be international.
