About the Item

Provenance Acquired by the gallery directly from the artist FRAMED: 31.75" x 27.75" x 1.625" UNFRAMED: 24" x 20" Artist Statement “Among my most memorable and profound travel experiences are the multiple extended trips I made through Asian countries, including China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Tibet. Learning about local traditions and culture is part of my interest as an artist, and religious beliefs are integral to understanding the people. In this painting, I show three objects representing three different tenets of Buddhism. I have depicted them in dim light to suggest they are only half-realized in human experience. The foreground is lit by candlelight while a bluish moonlight shines from above to project a sense of mystery. The three tenets are compassion, represented by the standing porcelain figure of Kwan Yin; denial of the importance of this world, represented by the wooden meditating Lohan, Nakula; and conquering fear, represented by the porcelain figure of Lohan, Nantimitolo, as he is known in Sanskrit, who is confidently taming the dragon.” — Peter Adams Exhibited The Poetry of Still Life, American Legacy Fine Arts, Pasadena, California, April 22 – May 21, 2023 Published American Art Collector Magazine, April 2023 American Art Collector Magazine, May 2023
