Bhutan, the Sacred Within Photographs by Kenro Izu
November 2, 2007 - February 18, 2008
After years of pilgrimage to sacred landscapes and spiritual monuments, the photographer Kenro Izu has turned his masterful lens to individuals of faith. Bhutan, the Sacred Within is his final work in a trilogy on this theme, and the second to be premiered at the Rubin Museum of Art. Izu takes the people of Bhutan and their particular blending of an indigenous religion and Buddhist thought as his subject. The meticulously crafted portraits he has made express the purity of those beliefs and their resonance in the larger world of today.
This exhibition is supported, in part, by Authentic Asia and Chris Stamos. Additional support is provided by the Howard Greenberg Gallery.
