Rossi & Rossi Hong Kong is pleased to present Hello Darkness…My Old Friend, the fifth solo exhibition of Tsherin Sherpa (b. 1968, Kathmandu, Nepal) with the gallery, opening on 20 September through 22 November 2025. On view is a new body of works depicting souls in unfamiliar terrains as they navigate the ever-changing realities of the contemporary world. These works embody the psyche of the present-day Himalayan diaspora, as well as that of other diasporas in the broader world – those who find themselves mediating between traditional cultures and beliefs with fast-changing, modern-day systems.

To create this series, Sherpa repurposed black thangka painting, a tantric art form within the Himalayan tradition that symbolises the transformation of negative energies through its depictions of wrathful protective deities. Moulding these deities into his spirits, Sherpa channels their fierce energies over the negative chaos of the surrounding world that threatens to engulf them.

Gallery address: 11F, M Place, Wong Chuk Hang
