Gentsu Gyatso (b. 1979, དཀོན་མཆོག་རྒྱ་མཚོ།), a.k.a. Bai Bin (白斌), received his Master of Fine Arts – Painting from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2004 and his Master of Design – Contemporary Art from the University of South Australia in 2020. He is the first Tibetan to obtain a Master's degree from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. In 2003, he studied at Kassel Academy of Art in Germany as an exchange student. He also travelled through Tibet to study traditional Tibetan architecture and Tibetan Buddhist wall paintings. Gyatso has lectured in visual art at the university level for over 9 years, with a focus on translating traditional Tibetan art into contemporary art through paintings, sculptures, architecture, video, and animation. The aim of his research is to discover the potential of indigenous arts and culture in the contemporary world. Gyatso's short film, “The Hunter And the Skeleton" (2012), is regarded as the first Tibetan independent animated film.
