This is a catalogue of the above captioned exhibition. Gade's art has a personal take on consumerism and pop culture. The artist believes that flashy, colourful, shiny consumer products have replaced traditional ritual objects as objects for worship in Tibetan society today. His works as suggested by Francesca Gavin, depict the death of religion and dramatic changes in society - concepts that go far beyond Tibetan experience to exemplify modern global life.
Artist biography included.
