Grey Coyote – 郊狼灰 – (b. 1970) – Ensō Releasing Hōju – 円相より出ずる宝珠の玉

SOLD. – THANK-YOU!

Grey Coyote is the owner of Paradise Bound. He spends time in Japan every year, visiting family, studying Buddhism and painting, practicing haiku and buying art. He is a great admirer or Miró, Tarō and Picasso (too name a few) and is influenced by Gibon, Nantenbo, Taiga, and many others. One of his painting styles is traditional Japanese subject matter with a modernist twist. This original piece was hand-brushed on gorgeous, large-fibre, handmade Japanese washi paper with silver reflective mica flakes.

The ensō symbolizes enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and mu (the void). It is releasing the sacred jewel of wish fulfillment. *After clicking on a picture, click the top left corner to expand them (and really see the reflective pigments). The final picture is an example of how they look in a standard $5 frame (frame not included).

SOLD. – THANK-YOU! – 8.5″ x 11″ – Free shipping world-wide. *(Note to those who haven’t bought wide-brush calligraphy before: The ink saturates the paper and makes it a bit wavy – but the paper flattens under glass when framed and looks fine.)
