A variety of Asian arts are being shown to the American public through an exhibition at Asian Arts Gallery of the Towson University of Maryland this month. The artworks for the Asian Sacred Arts exhibition, which runs through May 15, come from 14 private collections in Baltimore, Md., and the Washington area.
Collections of paintings and sculptures are from across Asia, displaying the depth and range of Asian sacred arts, the forms of their multi-level functions, and the transformation of the profound into the world of today.
“There are a lot of nice works from Far East, China, Tibet, Cambodia and other countries,” said Reza Sarhangi, a professor of math at Towson. “This is good for public awareness to know about other people’s cultures, so I encourage the art exhibit and TowsonUniversityto bring more diversity by bringing different cultures and art exhibits there to present different parts of the world.”
