About the Item

This large scale minimalist black and white zen cliff landscape features Buddhas with mudra hands in India. Deities in the lotus yoga position with floral and plant patterns and designs carved into the stone and rock form the background. A figure in black marvels at the serene figures of two giant Buddha figures carved into the side of a cliff. To the left, a seated Buddha sits in front of curvilinear designs and repeated figures sitting crosslegged in a lotus pose. To the right of the larger figure is another figure, draped in robes, with a hand up -- a Buddhist gesture of teaching or reassurance. Two caves dot the surface of the cliff, the edge of which is defined by sheer washes and fine lines. The transparency of the taupe ink mimics sandstone, while black shading provides delicate detail. Image 90 x 82 / 35.5 x 32.5 Paper 110 x 98 cm / 43 x 39 in. Lithograph on white mould-made paper. Edition 27: this impression 25/27. Signed by the artist, numbered 25/27, and dated 1988 lower right in pencil. Born in 1955 in Detroit Michigan, Michele Zalopany is a contemporary American artist best known for her large-scale watercolor and pastel paintings based on photographs found in digital picture collections, old books, and flea markets, etc. Found photographs and film screen shots that had originally served other purposes -- family snapshots, police photos, real estate, travel documentation -- when rendered, directly from the image, with traditional art materials, take on additional meanings, such as socio-psychological-political content. She exhibited in the 1989 Whitney Biennial and her work is included in more than 25 institutions including the Museum of Fine Art, Boston; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Yokohama Museum, Japan; Royal College of Art, London.

Diver Michele Zalopany black white abstract cloud and water landscape painting
By Michele Zalopany
Located in New York, NY
At the center of this large-scale black and white charcoal and pastel painting, a diver launches himself from untold heights, frozen at the peak of action against an ecstatic plume of clouds. Zalopany excels at painting with light, often abstracting areas of a composition with explosions of brush strokes and impossibly smooth blending. The cloud mass at the center of Diver is at once a liquid pool and O’Keefe’s Jimson Weed...
