AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is by *Tashi Norbu* - you can see his signature in the bottom right.
*Who is he:*
- Born in 1974 in Bhutan, Tibetan in exile
- Raised in monasteries in Dharamsala, India and trained as a traditional Thangka painter under the Dalai Lama himself
- In 2000 brought to Europe to study Western art at the Sint Lucas Academy in Ghent
- Belgian nationality, has lived and worked since 2007 in *Emmen, NL*. There he also founded his own Museum of Contemporary Tibetan Art
- Known for blending traditional Tibetan Buddhist icons with modern abstract techniques
*What you see on the painting:*
It is very typical of him:
- A meditating Buddha / monk in black with a red robe, very minimalist with a few brushstrokes
- A white square halo behind
- Thick impasto - yellow ochre, brown, white - with acrylic and rough pigments
- Up top that blue blot with the white mantra calligraphy. He often writes the mantra of Avalokiteshvara (the Buddha of compassion) on his work
- He often works with stories about Buddha and enlightenment, but combines it with Western abstraction
The work in the photo appears to be an original canvas, not a print - you can see the thick layers of paint
Private
Condition: good. Light signs of use on the stretch. Canvas is tight.
Signed in the bottom right.
The artist lives and works in Emmen.
