Illuminated Iconographic Tibetan Calligraphy

Title:
Laughing in the face of Anger

Acrylic on heavy water-colour paper 57x 76, 2007

The first of the five skull series is black in colour, angry and more wrathful. The mood of this piece is one of loss, which hovers ghostly in space.

The remedy is to tame hatred, converting to loving kindness of the first of the five wisdoms.

A more detailed explanation of the Five Skulls is given here.

This painting is available as an individual print or as a set of five prints of the ‘Laughing in the Face of Death’ series
