The Art of SAX
The painter SAX (Herbert Baerlocher 1943 - ) grew up in Basel, Switzerland and has been a resident of Kyoto, Japan for over two decades. He practices color painting as well as the ink brush. The works and texts reproduced in his catalogue "SAX - Werke aus Kyoto 1991-96" document experiences along his path through life where he witnesses, in accordance with the teaching of Bô Yin Râ, his own self-transformation. Comments John Koerner: "If we listen attentively to his persistent voice and perceive the subtle disclosures in the vocabulary of his written words and the metaphors enclosed in his pigments we are immeasurably enriched. For he presents us with gifts of a happy, joyful perspective based on his trustworthy experience as well as his authentic intuition. His words and images are prophetic."
