A Gallery solely dedicated to fine Tibetan scriptural art is perhaps
the first of its kind in the western world? But is defiantly a first for internationally
celebrated contemporary Tibetan calligraphy
artist Tashi Mannox.
This September launched the “Tashi Gallery” pleasantly situated in
the heart of the famous town of books Hay-on-Wye. This is a very popular destination for it's surrounding beauty in Brecon Beacon National Park
and hosts the yearly internationally acclaimed Hay Book Festival.
The picturesque
Welsh border town nestles below the Black Mountains on the banks of the
majestic River Wye, is a lively cosmopolitan town that boasts a wealth of
arts and literature. Only such a town can comfortably accommodate a Gallery of Dharma art
of Eastern origin.
Tashi Gallery exclusively offers original art masterpieces as well
as excellent quality limited edition prints of Tashi Mannox's complete works.
Also for Eastern Calligraphy enthusiasts, there is an opportunity to select the
finest quality Japanese seal inks, Tashi Mannox has collaborated with the
oldest Japanese traditional seal ink makers to create four different color
shades of vermilion pigments representing 'The Four Season'. This is
also the first time such quality inks are made available in the West.

"As the art of beautiful hand writing
finds a new place within the modern world, it is heartwarming to see that such
writing traditions are not only being practiced but also upheld with excellence
and dignity. Such organizations as the Contemporary Calligraphy Museum in
Moscow, the Contemporary Calligraphy Museum in Sharjah and now the Tashi Gallery
all contribute to deliver ancient wisdoms for the modern mind”
