Sax Berlin
Cracked Buddha. Contemporary Buddha Painting

2001

About the Item

"Everything passes everything changes everything crumbles all is impermanent." A direct quotation from Master Artist Sax Berlin showing his belief in the impermanence and reincarnation of all things even the seemingly eternal Buddha. Sax Berlin is creating the Great 108 Buddhas series. The number 108 has sacred meaning for followers of the Buddhist faith. For example a Buddhist Mala (rosary) has 108 beads, there are 108 temptations to be avoided, in Japan a temple bell or gong will ring 108 times to welcome the new year. - A pensive oil on canvas from Sax. Sax Berlin (1953), arguably the finest exponent of 21st Century Classicism has devoted his life to absorbing the culture of art and architecture in Europe, Asia & North America.
