Guest Artist: Tashi Mannox
Maharishi collaborates with Buddha-Dharma artist Tashi Mannox on an array of artworks and embroideries for Spring / Summer 2024 Pre, welcoming the Lunar New Year in celebration alongside Maharishi’s 30th anniversary.
Dharma art aims to evoke the vast wisdom of Buddhist teachings. Thought, brush, ink – their timeless marriage unfolds everyday in the quiet studio of Tashi Mannox. After completing a degree in fine art, Tashi had joined the Kagyu order of Buddhist monks, studying with them for 18 years.
A disciplined mind, free of expectation and fear, is the most important of a Dharma-artist’s tools. Rising early to meditate before approaching the day’s task with openness and humility is as much a prerequisite of his art as brush and ink.
Tashi has developed a unique style all of his own. Timeless and contemporary, his work blends the universality of Buddha-Dharma with the innovation and wry humour of contemporary practice.
Artworks have been translated across hand-machine embroideries and are printed on organic cotton T-Shirts/sweats. Below are the originals arranged with certain silhouettes, original artworks from Tashi Mannox will be exhibited at Maharishi London in January 2024.
