Mixed media installation by Tsherin Sherpa (b. 1968 Tibet): Garbage Buddha, 2013 / Rossi & Rossi / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.14143

It has been said that contemporary art is an acquired taste, and it matters not whether you like it or hate it. Good art invites a dialog—hating it is still a successful piece as long as you care enough to form an opinion. Bad art, on the other hand, invites no dialog at all—indifference is not an opinion.

 

Titled “Garbage Buddha,” this mixed media installation by Tibetan artist Tsherin Sherpa appears to be a commentary on Buddhist religion. The artist spent years studying buddhist philosophy under the tutelage of various Buddhist Masters in Nepal. The intention of the artist though is unknown.

 

It is a dimension variable installation — true that. If I have this on view at my home no one will be able to tell a difference between my work space and the art work for sure.
