Tsherin Sherpa: Spirits at the VMFA

A captivating exhibition of paintings and sculptures by the globally acclaimed artist Tsherin Sherpa is now on display at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.  Artist Tsherin Sherpa was born in Kathmandu, Nepal in 1968, and immigrated to the United States 30 years later.

Tsherin Sherpa: Spirits, the artist’s first solo museum exhibition, tells a story of loss, struggle and re-empowerment. “Not only are Sherpa’s works in the exhibition visually mesmerizing, but each is layered with meaning. Part autobiography, part social commentary, they contain the artist’s contemplation of struggles faced by Tibetans and other displaced peoples while inviting viewers to examine their own experiences with loss and re-empowerment,” said exhibition organizer Dr. John Henry Rice, VMFA’s E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art.

Free admission to this exhibit is being extended to all employees of the Commonwealth of Virginia employees, and all preschool through 12th grade teachers. Active-duty military and their immediate families can also receive free admission through VMFA’s year-round extension of the Blue Star Museums program. Show runs through October 16.

Works by Lilian Kreutzberger at 1708 Gallery

1708 Gallery is pleased to announce loook&&feel | surfacestricture, the first solo exhibition in the U.S. by Dutch artist Lilian Kreutzberger. Kreutzberger’s ongoing practice seeks to make the ever-advancing relationship between digital and physical domains tangible. This exhibit examines the influences digital interfaces have on architectures of the material world. Visitors will encounter paintings, laser-cut wood compositions, and sculptural objects that ask: If digital space was initially designed to mimic the physical world, then how is the material world responding to the now digitally lived experience? Kreutzberger positions this inquiry by considering both systems of display used for the reception of art and the negotiation between built forms, urban design, and historical architectural theory.

This exhibit runs through April 24.
