Artist: Pema Rinzin (Animal Drawings)

Pema Rinzin Main Page

The images below 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 RMA Artist-in-residence Pema Rinzin during the length of the exhibition 'Bon, the Magic Word' (2007-2008) and now resides in the Rubin Museum of Art permanent collection.
