Inside the Jokhang – Karma Phuntsok | Museum-Quality Giclée Print
Chenrezig luminous on the altar of the Jokhang — Tibet's holiest temple, built 1,300 years ago by King Songtsen Gampo at the heart of Lhasa. Karma Phuntsok renders the dark, golden interior of the chapel of the Jowo in rich, atmospheric oil, the deity radiant against the ancient wood and butter lamps. For every Tibetan who has prostrated outside those doors, and for every one who hasn't had the chance yet.
About the Artist: Karma Phuntsok is widely regarded as the father of contemporary Tibetan art. After fleeing Tibet in 1959, he trained in traditional thangka painting in Nepal and now creates work that blends classical Tibetan iconography with contemporary expression. His paintings are collected worldwide.
