Nota de aplicación

Tantra was a Buddhist and Hindu spiritual tradition that emerged in the fifth century CE. In the 1960s Tantric art was rediscovered in India and the west. This led to a revival of Neo-Tantric painting that utilizes imagery found in Tantric art. The traditional sexual and symbolic imagery is combined with the use of colour fields, figurative forms, impressions of three-dimensional space, and symmetry to create a modern style similar to Western abstraction that also draws from traditional Indian religious idioms. Contemporary artists have continued working in this style.
