About the Item

This is a suite of four 12" x 12" canvas panels in Antonio Puri's "Tantra" sculptural painting series of intimately-scaled minimalist round mandala circles built from tiny seed beads adhered to canvas in a range of red hues, creating deep texture. This series is comprised of 100 total works is a meditative, spiritual group of works that draw on the artist's Buddhist practices he learned as a child growing up near Buddhist monks in India. A selection of Puri's "Tantra" paintings ​were exhibited in the exhibition, "Geometric Objective" at Massey Klein Gallery in New York City, and in "Tantric Explosion" in Bogota, Colombia, where the artist currently lives and works. Each is titled on the back. There are 24 paintings available, and they work well clustered in groupings of all sizes. Note that this lot is a grouping of four separate 12" x 12" panels, and that the photos here are a representative. Please contact me if you would like to see photos of additional panels. Shipping can be combined for multiple purchases. (Could also be sold separately at $3,000 each.) "I am interested in comparing connections between my eastern roots and my western experiences.
