Tenzing Rigdol’s My World Is in Your Blind Spot (2014)—the highlight and namesake of this exhibition—is shown for the first time in the United States at the Emmanuel Art Gallery on the University of Colorado Denver campus. The work is a masterpiece, encompassing Rigdol’s ability to use religious imagery in a visually provocative manner, all while incorporating personal and political components that bring light to difficult and controversial topics.
Artist, activist, and poet Tenzing Rigdol (’05, Visual Arts) returns to the University of Colorado Denver for his first U.S. solo exhibition
On five large panels stretching across thirty horizontal feet, Tenzing Rigdol’s imposing buddha silhouettes greet the viewer in their recognizable cross-legged seated positions—a posture often associated with meditation and peace—and with a stunning visual effect enhanced by the use of silks and fire imagery.
