It was a pleasure to attend the Rainbow Group Show and Reception at Kate Oh Gallery this month ~

“Different Artists have chosen their own vision of rainbow colors as an expression of the their joy. Just as the rainbow unifies many joyous colors, this group show brings together a color full of celebration.”

~ Pema Rinzin, Curator

Curator’s Statement:

I have picked The Rainbow subject for this show in response to these difficult times. I have asked each artist to choose their own vision of rainbow colors as an expression of their joy. Just as the rainbow unifies many joyous colors, this group show brings together a color full of celebration.

In Tibetan culture the rainbow expresses Enlightened Beings (Buddhas, Gurus, Teachers). Also, as in many other cultures, it is auspicious, a sign of luck and rebirth. Cultures around the world have found similar meaning in the incredible reflection of sunlight shining through the moist atmosphere after a rainfall.

This is the seventh group show I have curated in New York City since I arrived in 2005. As part of the Tibetan diaspora I have used my position as a curator to provide opportunities to other Tibetan and other artists of all nationalities so that they can become more integrated into the American art world and to give Americans a deeper appreciation of contemporary Tibetan artists.

Artists from France, Canada, Mexico, Japan and around the USA participated in this exhibit.
