"Tantra" Exhibition
Feature Inc.
This event has ended.
These small paintings are made anonymously in India by practitioners of tantra, some of whom are artists, to signify and stimulate specific mental and/or spiritual experiences. While they are traditional images that have evolved over centuries with highly conventionalized forms and colors, they exude such a high level of intentionality that they continually appear fresh and alive. Despite their didactic function, they also have a history of being coveted as decorative objects and abstract art.
