The Beauty of Tibetan Drawing
The images in this gallery page are from a large format traditional Tibetan drawing of animals, insects, mythical beasts and natural landscape scenes. It is a great example of skilled Tibetan drawing where the flow can be seen along with the widening and narrowing of the various brushstrokes. The creatures seem almost alive with a dynamic energy and playfulness - the mind of the artist. The work of art was created by the first Rubin Museum of Art (New York) Artist-in-residence, Pema Rinzin, during the length of the exhibition 'Bon, the Magic Word' (2007-2008). The work, along with several others, now resides in the Rubin Museum of Art permanent collection.
