Liu Yi
"Akshobhyavajra, " Acrylic on Canvas, 2011

2011

About the Item

An expression of devotion, this mesmerizing painting is the result of months of dedicated work. Thousands of careful brushstrokes surround the central image of the Tibetan Buddha Akshobhyavajra, a focal point within a gradient of concentric circles. Liu Yi, a Beijing-based painter and practicing Buddhist, paints each of his contemporary mandalas as a meditation. With meticulous detail, he combines traditional Tibetan thangka icons with contemporary painting techniques and color. Liu Yi signed his name on the back, not the front, so as not to detract from the contemplation this work inspires.
