Artist Icon, ALEX GREY has been a close friend of mine for over 30 years. He gave this poster to me after I met the Dalai Lama. He signed it in pen and put his personal symbol the Eye of Providence (eye in a pyramid), which ALEX never puts on his work. This is a rare poster.

The frame is wooden with a few flaking off of the paint on it.

In the right lower hand corner, there is a slight crease, which can be covered with re-framing.

All in all it was a special gift and I would love to pass it on.

Dalai Lama is a portrait of the Tibetan religious leader and representative of the bodhisattvic ideal of wisdom and compassion. He is shown in a prayerful blessing posture, which is his common greeting. He describes himself as a humble monk, but his followers know him also as the worldly incarnation of the Buddha of active compassion, Avalokitesvara, who is shown translucently behind the monk. The prayer to this Buddha is also the national mantra of Tibet, Om Mani Padme Hum, and it is repeated in the background as a manifestation of the sky-like nature of mind. The Dalai Lama's magnificent residence in Tibet, the Potala, is also seen. For the past four decades the Chinese military has occupied Tibet, destroyed monasteries, and committed atrocities against the Tibetan people. Nevertheless, the Dalai Lama, who lives in exile from his homeland, remains one of the world's foremost proponents of non-violence and peaceful resolution.
