Where
Tibet House US has announced their next art exhibit, Form Is Emptiness, which will feature the vibrant works of renowned artist Michael Katz. The exhibit will run from March 14, 2013 through May 14, 2013, with an opening reception to be held on March 14th from 6-8pm ET. A portion of all sales will benefit Tibet House US and its ongoing work to preserve and present Tibetan culture.
Form is Emptiness will feature vibrant works from New York City’s Michael Katz who is a celebrated writer, doctor, and visual artist. In addition to the influence of Buddhism, Katz’ art is inspired by music, yoga, dance, and particularly his career as a trans-personal psychologist.
Michael Katz crafts abstract expressionist images vibrant in color and transcendent in depth, suggesting the dynamism and layers of the Buddhist journey. A writer, doctor and visual artist, Katz orchestrates fragments toward unity in ways playful and animated. Katz says, “The artist is akin to the alchemist transforming the mundane into the transcendent as an alternative to the gross materialism and deadening conformity too present in our daily life. In my art I seek to communicate a sense of possibility, freedom, energy, and spontaneity as I weave symbols and a personal vocabulary...My work is frequently suggestive of inner dynamism, mystical forms and elusive meanings that excite and linger just beyond the tip of the tongue.”
