Jharna-Kala Fountain-Art - Sri Chinmoy's Paintings and Drawings
| Sri Chinmoy’s art chronicles the transcendent
perceptions with which we are all inherently endowed. Called
“Jharna-Kala,” Bengali for “Fountain-Art,” his inspired drawings and
paintings are an eloquent addition to the sacred in art. In 1974 he began with a painting of a single rose. His paintings, which now number over 200,000 range in size from huge mural-size acrylics to tiny ink sketches have been exhibited on five continents from New York's Soho gallery district the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. |
