非池中藝術網

Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee（b.1987）現居於印度喜馬偕爾邦（Himachal Pradesh, India）。他的創作探索了生活裡看似平凡的事物中所隱含的矛盾，身為喜馬拉雅文化的跨國公民，Gyurmey的創作來自於自身的生命軌跡因不斷地遷徙而造成相遇與分離，他帶著回憶和歷史的片段在現實中穿行，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嘗試著反思全球化時代下、相異的文化結合其狀態為何，展現出喜馬拉雅文化從過去延伸到今日的嶄新面貌，藉由藝術將觀者由心理層面連結合一，而這跨越現實維度的精神連結正是 Gyurmey 藝術創作過程的核心概念。

2024年，Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee 受邀參與全球知名的喜馬拉雅藝術館——魯賓美術館（Rubin Museum of Art）20週年特展《Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now》（「重新想像：現今的喜馬拉雅藝術」）。此次展覽深入探討藝術家們的個人與集體歷史，聚焦身份流動、精神實踐及歸屬感等主題，並對人類歷史中面臨的各種問題進行批判性且深刻的反思。

Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee 不僅受邀參與這場具有全球影響力的展覽，其作品更榮獲魯賓美術館永久典藏，充分肯定了他在喜馬拉雅當代藝術領域的卓越成就。同年，魯賓美術館創立了首屆「喜馬拉雅藝術獎」（Rubin Museum Himalayan Art Prize），以表彰在連結喜馬拉雅藝術與當代生活中做出貢獻的藝術家，而 Tenzin Gyurmey Dorjee 亦成為該獎項的首位得主。

此項殊榮不僅彰顯了他作品的藝術價值，更體現了其在探索文化身份與全球議題方面的深刻影響力。

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.
