Brian Wallace and his team at the Red Gate gallery, one of Beijing's longest established art galleries, have put together a second exhibition of contemporary Tibetan art.

The show, which is at their newer 798 district gallery (not the original gallery at the watchtower) includes works by Gade, Keltse, Gongkar Gyatso, Tsering Nyandak, Tsewang Tashi and Nortse, who painted the striking self portrait shown here. Their works fuse elements of contemporary Chinese style with its emphasis on bold and colorful works, with Tibetan elements and themes ... in Nortse's case the mandala and prayer slips (lungta) that flutter around the artist's head.

The exhibition runs from Saturday October 25th until the 16th November, 11am-6pm (closed Mondays). The 798 gallery is at 797 East street, 798 art zone, No. 2 Juixianqiao Lu, Chaoyang district, Beijing.
