A Beijing museum exhibition showcases 60 modern thangka paintings from the Langkajie school, depicting Tibetan history and daily life using traditional techniques.
An exhibition at Beijing’s Chinese Traditional Culture Museum features over 60 contemporary thangka paintings from the Langkajie school, reimagining the traditional Tibetan art form to depict modern history and daily life.
Unlike religious-focused thangkas, these works portray events like the Red Army’s 1930s march, the 1973 earthquake, and current Tibetan festivals and ceremonies.
Created in the past decade using classical techniques and vibrant mineral pigments, the paintings emphasize emotional depth and cultural memory.
Divided into five sections, the show highlights the school’s secular evolution and its role in preserving collective history through large-scale, detailed scenes.
Curator Li Moyan notes the powerful storytelling and striking use of color, reflecting a living tradition adapting to contemporary narratives.
