Pema Rinzin “Abstract Enlightenment”
Joshua Liner Gallery
This event has ended.
Joshua Liner Gallery presents Abstract Enlightenment, a new exhibition from master thangka painter and contemporary artist Pema Rinzin. This will be Rinzin’s second solo offering with the gallery, featuring small to large-scale paintings. The artist will be in attendance at the opening reception.
With a diverse professional background, having studied and taught various genres of art, traveling and living in many different countries, it would appear Pema Rinzin has lived many lives all within a single life span. Utilizing traditional thangka painting techniques and mediums to create contemporary works, Rinzin’s paintings have been exhibited internationally and are held in numerous public and private collections—most notably by H.H. the Dalai Lama, the Rubin Museum of Art, and the Shoko-ji Cultural Research Institute.
Born in Tibet in 1966, Pema Rinzin grew up in Dharamsala, India, studying under the auspices of Kalsang Oshoe, Khepa Gonpo, Rigdzin Paljor, and other master artists from 1979 to 1983. Teaching Renaissance, Impressionist, and Abstract Expressionist art, as well as comic book-arts at the Tibetan Children’s Village School in Dharamsala—the artist’s well-rounded interdisciplinary skills would later influence his contemporary art practice.
