Tibetan artist Gonkar Gyatso is internationally renowned for his signature eye-catching style, which weaves together Buddhist iconography and the discarded remnants of pop culture. A child of the Cultural Revolution and a resident of both the East and West as an adult, his pieces explore themes such as identity, oppression, globalization, and consumerism. The monograph Gonkar Gyatso: Three Realms is available in the stacks at the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries, and provides background and insight into the artist’s vision.
