Aloka commissioned to paint large-scale shrine painting for new space. - Monday, July 23, 2007




Part of the vision for Breathing Space is a large triptych that can be closed for 'secular' activities and opened for Buddhist classes. The LBC council have commissioned Aloka - a senior order member and dedicated artist - to paint a very large picture of the Buddha and his disciples. Aloka has been painting Buddhist devotional images for the last thirty years. His work combines the concerns of Late Moderism with Buddhist imagery and Byzantine iconographaphic influences.
