Dear Friends and Family,
This thread is for discussion of the Fine Arts, in general, and in specific how the arts relate to spiritual practice, kung fu, enlightenment, or what-have-you.
My story: After literature and music, fine art was my third passion in the arts world, which I discovered in my late teens, during college.
My interests at first tended towards the modernists, and post-modernists, but very soon I developed an appreciation for Asian art, which probably had a strong influence on my decision to go to Asia, and live here for over ten years.
I do credit my love of the arts with bringing me to Shaolin, so I am happy to share this first photo of a painting with you.
Please feel free to share your own work, or work that you admire, or work that confounds you, delights you, sets you free.
This painting by Murakami Takashi, who has recently completed what is thought to be the largest painting in the world. If you don't know the subject of this painting, please ask.
