NEW DELHI: Known simply as Tintin, he has emerged as one of the leading figures in Bhutan’s contemporary art movement, blending Buddhist iconography with modern visual language. His new exhibition, which runs until October 7, invites viewers into the layered spaces of the bardo—the Buddhist state between death and rebirth—as well as into dreams, illusions, and the present moment.
Born in 1985, Tintin has built a career across multiple media, including painting, sculpture, film, illustration and design. His practice often interrogates the notions of self and non-self, charting the emotional and spiritual journey of life through creative expression. What distinguishes him is his reinterpretation of tantric Buddhist symbols: respecting tradition while pushing the boundaries of how these symbols can be understood in a contemporary world.
