Est: $60,000 - $90,000
GONKAR GYATSO (Tibetan, born 1961) On First Sunshine 2012 stickers, paper collage and pencil on resin cast sculpture inscribed and dated at base: 8/2012 40 x 46 x 31cm PROVENANCE: Conceptio Unlimited Limited, Hong Kong Private collection, Melbourne, acquired from the above 19 August 2014 OTHER NOTES: Gonkar Gyatso's sculpture 'On First Sunshine' 2012 is a striking meditation on identity, spirituality and cultural transformation in the contemporary world. Known for combining traditional Tibetan Buddhist imagery with the visual language of global consumer culture, Gyatso creates artworks that are both playful and deeply reflective. In this sculpture, a cross legged human form is entirely covered with a dense collage of stickers, logos, cartoons, and decorative motifs, producing a surface that feels simultaneously exuberant and overwhelming. The figure's compressed posture suggests introspection or vulnerability, while the riot of imagery evokes the constant bombardment of modern media and commercial symbolism. Gyatso, who was born in Tibet and later lived in India and the United Kingdom, often explores the tensions between Eastern spiritual traditions and Western popular culture. 'On First Sunshine' captures this dialogue vividly, presenting the body as a site where memory, migration, belief, and global visual culture converge. © Gonkar Gyatso
