Tashi Gurung is a Thangka and Mandala artist from Lo Manthang, Nepal.

In 1999, Tashi and several other artists began restoring 500-year-old Buddhist murals in local gompas (monasteries). Tashi helped to restore Jampa, Thupchen, Tsarang, and other Buddhist gompas, as documented in the NOVA PBS documentary "Lost Treasures of Tibet".

Tashi then went on several UNESCO-sponsored trips to Bhutan, Nepal, Ladakh in India, Tibet, and Kham in China to take part in the restoration of other Buddhist monasteries.

Inspired by this experience, Tashi traveled to Kathmandu and for 5 years studied the ancient painting and iconography from Master Thangka Painter Mukti Singh Thapa.

Tashi has a small art gallery in his hometown of Lo Manthang.

All thangkas are hand-painted on local hand-made rice paper. For traditional Mustang Thangkas, Tashi uses local mineral pigments from semiprecious stones like vermillion or orpiment. These are ground to powder for 3 months and then mixed with Yak ghee and water. 24-carat gold is used in some Thangkas as well.

"Lost Treasures"

Our second Tashi's solo exhibit in April of 2023 featured Medicine Thangka, Mantra Mandala, Thousand Buddhas, Pancha Buddha.

My visit to Nepal

In October 2018, I visited Nepal and Tashi's home, Upper Mustang. To get to Mustang, we flew into one of the most dangerous mountain airports and set out in a caravan on a 10-day journey. After 4 days in the saddle, I met Tashi Gurung in the remote Lo Manthang.

"The Last Kingdom"

In April 2022, we hosted Tashi's first solo exhibit at Art House SF. Tashi lives in a very remote and very unique Upper Mustang (formerly Mustang Kingdom). Mustang was a restricted kingdom until 1992 which makes it one of the most preserved regions in the world.
