丹增・葛美・多吉 Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee

Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee（b.1987）現居印度喜馬偕爾邦（Himachal Pradesh, India）。他的創作致力於探索看似平凡的日常中所潛藏的矛盾。身為擁有喜馬拉雅文化根源的跨國公民，Gyurmey 的創作源自其生命軌跡中因不斷遷徙而交織出的相遇與別離。他帶著回憶和歷史的片段於現實中穿行，透過對家人、朋友和親族的細膩描繪，以作品中的人物及符號試圖反思全球化時代下、相異的文化是如何交匯、融合，又最終呈現出了何種樣貌；不僅展現喜馬拉雅文化從過去延伸到今日的蛻變，更藉由藝術將觀者在心理層面上緊密相連。這份跨越維度的精神共鳴，正是他藝術創作過程的核心概念。

2024 年，Gyurmey 受邀參與魯賓美術館（Rubin Museum of Art）20 週年特展《重新想像：現今的喜馬拉雅藝術》（Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now）。該展覽深入梳理藝術家的個人與集體歷史，聚焦於身分流動、精神實踐與歸屬感等命題，同時對人類歷史軌跡中所面臨的諸多議題，提出深邃且具批判性的反思。

Gyurmey 不僅受邀參與這場深具全球指標性的展覽，其作品更獲魯賓美術館永久典藏，進一步肯定了他在當代喜馬拉雅藝術領域的卓越成就。同年，魯賓美術館設立首屆「魯賓美術館喜馬拉雅藝術獎」（Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize），旨在表彰對連結喜馬拉雅藝術與當代生活做出貢獻的藝術家，而 Gyurmey 即榮膺該獎項的首位得主。這份殊榮不僅彰顯了其作品的藝術價值，更凸顯了他在探索文化身分與全球議題上深遠的影響力。

2026 年初，Gyurmey 更參與了義大利米蘭 PAC 當代藝術館（Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea）群展《INDIA. Of Glimmers and Getaways》，由國際知名 Raqs Media Collective 與 Ferran Barenblit 共同策展。該展以「異質的馬賽克」為概念，勾勒出印度社會與全球處境中不斷變動、尚未定型的現實場景。展覽呈現集體生活的脆弱與韌性，在張力與矛盾並存的敘事中，指向微光般的希望、逃逸的路徑，以及其他可能的未來。

Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee (b. 1987) is currently based in Himachal Pradesh, India. His work explores the paradoxes embedded in seemingly ordinary aspects of life. As a transnational citizen of Himalayan culture, Gyurmey’s art reflects the encounters and separations shaped by his migratory journey. Carrying fragments of memories and histories, he navigates the present, using detailed depictions of family, friends, and relatives to reflect on the state of cultural intersections in the age of globalization. Through his works, Gyurmey reflects on how disparate cultures merge and coexist in the contemporary world, showcasing the evolving nature of Himalayan culture from the past to the present. In doing so, he aims to create a psychological connection between the viewer and the work, with this spiritual bond across dimensions being a core concept of his artistic process.

In 2024, Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee was invited to participate in the Rubin Museum of Art’s 20th-anniversary exhibition, Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now. The exhibition delves into artists’ personal and collective histories, focusing on themes such as the fluidity of identity, spiritual practices, and a sense of belonging, while also offering critical reflections on the issues humanity faces across time.

Not only was Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee invited to take part in this globally significant exhibition, but his works were also permanently acquired by the Rubin Museum of Art, further recognizing his outstanding achievements in the field of contemporary Himalayan art. In the same year, the Rubin Museum established the inaugural Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize to honor artists who contribute to the connection between Himalayan art and contemporary life. Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee was the first recipient of this prestigious award.

This recognition not only highlights the artistic value of his work but also underscores his profound influence in exploring cultural identity and global issues.

In early 2026, Gyurmey further expanded his international presence by participating in the group exhibition INDIA. Of Glimmers and Getaways at the Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea (PAC) in Milan, Italy. Co-curated by the internationally renowned Raqs Media Collective and Ferran Barenblit, the exhibition is anchored in the concept of a “heterogeneous mosaic,” outlining the ever-shifting and fluid realities within Indian society and the global landscape. Portraying the fragility and resilience of collective life, the exhibition weaves a narrative where tension and paradox coexist, ultimately pointing toward glimmers of hope, pathways of escape, and alternative futures.
