Zengine, by Peter Gumaer Ogden, American, 1957-. Collage / Mixed media on 9" x 12" canvas board. 2007-2010; most of the work on this was done in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I hand cut over 500 paper pieces and hand glued them. This collage contains many Buddhist symbols and the faces of many prominent past and contemporary worldwide Buddhist leaders and teachers. The word Zen, from Zen Buddhism, is repeated throughout this piece.
The Fine Art America logo does not appear in the final product.
