丹之寶（TANSBAO Gallery）榮幸於台中國際藝術博覽會呈現代理藝術家才仁・夏爾帕（Tsherin Sherpa）個展計畫「祈願之境」。作為當今最具國際影響力的喜馬拉雅當代藝術家之一，才仁・夏爾帕長期關注文化轉譯、信仰與精神性議題。2026 年，藝術家甫於文化部蒙藏文化中心舉辦大型個展「生生不息— Tsherin Sherpa 的喜馬拉雅當代藝術」，並將陸續於檀香山美術館（Honolulu Museum of Art）呈現個展「Divine Disruption: The Art of Tsherin Sherpa」，以及於西雅圖美術館展開後續展覽計畫，持續深化其於國際重要美術館體系中的能見度與影響力。
本次於台中國際藝術博覽會展出的「祈願之境」，聚焦藝術家對文化、信仰與集體記憶的長期思考，呈現其完整創作脈絡。其中雕塑作品《祈願樹》系列，以傳統鎏金工藝結合極簡的當代語彙，將喜馬拉雅祈願文化轉化為空間裝置，在展場中構築出如當代祭壇般的精神場域。其創作背景可追溯至 2015 年尼泊爾經歷重大地震後的集體記憶——祈願不再僅是宗教儀式，更成為面對災難與重建的心理支撐。台灣同樣位處地震帶，對自然力量的不確定性有著深刻體感，藝術家藉由祈願的象徵，使跨地域的經驗產生情感連結，讓作品成為撫慰與希望的載體。展覽亦呈現銅雕《心經》與鎏金銅《手印》，將手勢、語言與精神狀態之間的關聯轉化為可見形式，在觀看過程中形塑出安靜而細膩的感受。
此外，本次個展亦將呈現藝術家最新平面創作，包括特別為此次博覽會全新創作的《Eye of the Tiger》與《The Birdman Spirit (Garuda)》。其中，《Eye of the Tiger》延續藝術家自 2022 年開始發展的系列創作，靈感來自電影《Rocky III》（1982）同名主題曲所象徵的強烈意志與精神力量。作品透過充滿張力的視覺語彙，探索並歌頌如烈焰般的決心、專注無懼的意志，以及內在的力量與能量。此系列最初源於藝術家對喜馬拉雅地毯傳統與紋樣保存的回應，並以地毯設計作為創作起點。
而《The Birdman Spirit (Garuda)》則以佛教神話中的守護神「迦樓羅（Garuda）」為主題。迦樓羅為融合鳥與人形的神聖生物，在尼泊爾與喜馬拉雅文化中象徵速度、力量與忠誠，亦被視為重要的守護者。在許多尼泊爾古老寺廟中，皆可見迦樓羅雕像守護於寺廟之外，象徵驅邪避惡與守護信仰之意。
透過此次台中國際藝術博覽會的展出，丹之寶期望引領觀眾與收藏家進入才仁・夏爾帕獨特的當代藝術語境，感受其創作中根植於古老文明、並於當代持續生成的精神力量，進一步拓展喜馬拉雅當代藝術於亞洲與國際之間的深層對話。

TANSBAO Gallery is honored to present the solo exhibition project by represented artist Tsherin Sherpa at ART TAICHUNG. As a key advocate of Himalayan modern and contemporary aesthetics, the gallery has maintained a strong collaboration with Sherpa, consistently positioning his practice within a broader global contemporary art discourse through dedicated curatorial initiatives.
Tsherin Sherpa stands as one of the most internationally influential Himalayan contemporary artists today. His work consistently explores themes of cultural translation, identity, and spirituality. This presentation follows a milestone period for the artist; in May 2026, Sherpa completed his major solo exhibition, Endless Flow — Tsherin Sherpa’s Himalayan Contemporary Art, at the Mongolian and Tibetan Cultural Center (Ministry of Culture) in Taipei, Taiwan, which offered a systematic overview of his creative evolution and cultural roots. Sherpa’s international presence continues to grow through upcoming institutional solo exhibitions, including the debut of Divine Disruption: The Art of Tsherin Sherpa at the Honolulu Museum of Art, followed by planned presentations at the Seattle Art Museum. These major museum engagements underscore his rising visibility within the global art field and the strong resonance of his artistic vision.
The solo exhibition presented at ART TAICHUNG focuses on the artist’s reflections on culture, faith, and collective memory, offering a comprehensive view of his creative trajectory. A key highlight is the Wish-fulfilling Tree series, which combines traditional gilding techniques with a minimalist contemporary language, transforming Himalayan prayer culture into spatial installations that create a spiritual environment within the exhibition space and function as contemporary altars. The exhibition also features the sculptures Heart Sutra and the gilded gold and bronze Mudras, translating the relationship between gesture, language, and spiritual states into tangible forms, cultivating a quiet, nuanced experience for the viewer.
In addition, this solo presentation introduces the artist’s latest paintings, Eye of the Tiger and The Birdman Spirit (Garuda).
Eye of the Tiger explores and celebrates intensity, burning determination, unwavering focus, fearlessness, and inner strength, echoing the spirit of the iconic song “Eye of the Tiger” from Rocky III (1982). The series was first conceived in 2022 as a carpet design, developed in response to the preservation of Himalayan carpet traditions and motifs, and has since evolved into a broader visual exploration of resilience and power.
The Birdman Spirit (Garuda) is inspired by Garuda, a divine half-bird, half-human figure in Buddhist mythology and a protective deity. Symbolizing speed, power, and loyalty, Garuda is traditionally regarded as a guardian figure; in many ancient temples across Nepal, Garuda sculptures are placed at temple entrances as protectors of sacred space.
Through this presentation at ART TAICHUNG, TANSBAO Gallery invites audiences and collectors to enter Tsherin Sherpa’s unique contemporary artistic discourse. By experiencing a body of work rooted in ancient civilization yet perpetually evolving in the modern era, the gallery aims to further expand the profound dialogue surrounding Himalayan contemporary art between Asia and the international stage.
