- Lot Description
Details: Teashop and Caravan by the Lake, Signed Limited Edition #11/100, Print on Cotton Canvas, 15” x 23” (matted), 2008
Description: Set against a serene winter backdrop, this limited edition print of Norbu's evocative painting captures a caravan navigating through the snow on its way to trade in Tibet. Meanwhile, another group pauses to enjoy tea by the tranquil waters of Phoksundo Lake, preparing for the arduous journey over the mountain pass. The artwork subtly incorporates endangered Himalayan wildlife, including blue sheep and a snow leopard, perched on the rocky outcrops above the lake, reminding viewers of the fragile balance between human endeavor and the natural world. This piece reflects the resilience of both the caravans and the wildlife, offering a poignant glimpse into the challenges and beauty of life in this remote region.
About the Artist: Tenzin Norbu Lama was born in Dolpo, Nepal, into a distinguished family of painters with a lineage that spans over 400 years. Renowned for his ability to blend traditional thangka painting with contemporary and imaginative depictions of Himalayan landscapes, his work has been featured in prominent international publications such as National Geographic and Caravans of the Himalaya, as well as in the acclaimed feature film Himalaya.
An illustrator of four children’s books, including Clear Sky, Red Earth, Tenzin Norbu continues to push the boundaries of Tibetan and Himalayan art while remaining deeply connected to his roots. In 2001, he founded the Kula Mountain School in the Panzang Valley, offering educational opportunities for children in this remote region. His work has been exhibited in prestigious galleries in Paris and New York and resides in esteemed private collections, such as that of Leila Hadley Luce. - Shipping Info
