Crystal Buddha, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Tranquil Concealment
Collection: Ksitigarbha Buddha | Buddha Sculptures & Figurines |
|||||||||
Design Description: One of the most revered heroes in East Asian art history is the bodhisattva who sacrificed everything to bring others into the light—Ksitigarbha. With a nod of the head to classic depictions, LIULI artists ornament the sculpture here with a gold-plated staff and brightly colored halo. This piece differs, however, in its abstraction which places special emphasis on the feeling of serenity. The transparent crystal seems wispy, yet substantial; rough, yet smooth; brooding, yet bright. These elements compose a well-balanced piece that reaches beyond physical composition to a level of philosophy that seems to touch enlightenment. What results is a contemporary take on traditional art; one that allows the viewer the otherworldly experience of meditating on what peace truly means. |
