: Gonkar Gyatso was born in Lhasa in 1961 and studied traditional Chinese painting in Beijing. After leaving Tibet, he lived in a Tibetan exile community in Dharamsala where he met Peter Towse. In 1996 he received a full scholarship to study at Central Saint Martin’s; he later finished his master’s degree in art at London’s Chelsea Art College. He now lives in London where he has an art gallery named The Sweet Tea House – the first gallery in Europe devoted to showcasing contemporary Tibetan art. His work has been internationally exhibited in galleries and museums in Europe and Northern America. Gyatso’s work charts the subtle shifts in identity and belonging caused by constant migration. Through diasporic experiences, he traverses the hybrid nature of resettlement, fusing different cultures and traditions.
