1. Tsering Nyandak with Yak Tseten - Buddhas Tibet 2007 80 x 60 cm each |
This four part poster series by Tsering Nyandak and Yak Tseten suggest ambiguous modern mudras, perhaps of the grasp of a wrathful deity or the human clawing at acquisitions, perhaps the turning of the wheel of dharma or an ‘OK’. The startlingly graphic quadrant, with half a Buddha’s head swirling with blue and green against a bright red field, combines precision (a hallmark of both thangka and computer technology) and the natural or random appearance of water or weather. The serial use of the black and white line silhouette suggests a form which may be filled with any content we wish. text by Leigh Miller Sangster photograph courtesy of Jason Sangster |
