EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning painting of Garuda, skillfully created by students at the National Institute for Zorig Chusum, also known as the school of thirteen arts and crafts. The legend behind this mythical bird is beautifully depicted in this artwork. According to ancient tales, Guru Rinpoche transformed himself into Garuda to confront and subdue a fearsome demoness who was terrorizing the land. This religious painting not only captures the essence of Bhutanese folklore but also represents the deep spiritual beliefs ingrained in their culture. The National Institute for Zorig Chusum is renowned for its dedication to preserving traditional arts and crafts through education. Aspiring artists learn various skills such as thangka painting, a form of Buddhist art that requires precision and intricate detailing. Located in Tashiyangtse, East Bhutan, this institute serves as a trade school where students can immerse themselves in Bhutan's rich artistic heritage. Through their meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colors, these talented individuals bring life to ancient stories like that of Garuda. This print not only celebrates the beauty of Bhutanese craftsmanship but also pays homage to the invaluable role played by institutions like the National Institute for Zorig Chusum in keeping these traditions alive. It reminds us of how art can transcend time and connect us with our cultural roots.
