It is a short walk to the picturesque foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the four mile creek flows through the Shankar Gallery estate and gardens.
The Shiva Lingam Temple centered in the heart of the gallery
is an inspiration to many! The variety of wall spaces display the wonderful paintings in a 'HOME' atmosphere. Shankar Gallery shows everyone the recent work by the artist Shankar - Richard Lazzara of Boulder,CO.USA.
Richard Lazzara's art has a theme of "Art For The Soul". He "challenges the viewer to penetrate one's own being. It is only through this knowledge of the inner self that one can open to Shankar Art." His website is
shankar-gallery.com Shankar Gallery is found at 1840 Violet Ave. Boulder, Colorado 80304.
Says Shanker Art:
What inner awareness does one need to approach Shankar Art? Imagine the time (kala) devoted to creating this art. Recognize that in taking time to study Shankar Art, we may be inspired to find a moment of peace within ourselves. This "time-taking" will also reveal the viewer's own power to create, to transcend ordinary expression. In our examination, we discover metallics here, metallics there, explained by Shankar as higher notes in the scale of the color palette acting in this play of transcendence.
His art
has a definite message and purpose. His portfolio has an amazing array including Sumie Scrollings, Knot Art, Sumie Doors, Nada Series, Colorful Art Cards, Wearable Art (great earrings) and more. (See his
entire collection on flickr.)
He has some unique
Key Covers which seem very odd to me, but who am I to question the mind of such an artist? He is demiurgic and inspired.
Richard Lazzara also has a blog at
shankargallery.blogspot.com.
Very interesting site you have here. Such beautiful pictures.
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I hope you enjoyed your stay.
Thanks Dana... I like your blog too and your writing is excellent! Also, I've gotta comment, the name "Dew on the Kudzu" made me laugh out loud!
My first exposure to the word "kudzu" was in an
online forum where people were getting overly techinical about odds and Sars (the moderator) said "No Math Kudzu!"
Now, I realize that in the south. kudzu (the plant) is quite common, but at that time I had no idea what it was. As I did research, I came to believe that although kudzu was a plant that had taken over in the south, kudzu was mostly a common term for people being overly verbose online (i.e. this comment). So "Dew on the Kudzu" as a name for an online magazine just tickled my funny bone! Thanks!
