THE PAINTINGS OF KONGTRUL JIGME NAMGYEL

“For me, painting is a means to express the truth one discovers through meditation.”

Light Coming Through provides infinite opportunities for reflection on the expressive potential of our minds.This exquisitely reproduced catalogue takes you on an intimate tour of Rinpoche’s first public exhibition in Taipei, Taiwan, in April of 2005. Large color plates bring the texture, stroke, and energy of the work vividly alive on the page. Included, in both Mandarin and English, is Rinpoche’s own foreword entitled "The Mark of Non-Creating", as well as essays by Yahne Le Toumelin, Joel Meyerowitz, Simon Zalkind, Stan Lai, and Tatjana Krizmanic, which approach the work from personal as well as art-history perspectives. At 170 pages, the soft-cover catalogue contains 90 color plates.
