"Herdsman Family"(2010) is a fantastic oil on canvas painting by Dawa Zhaxi (Tibet, B. 1979). This large work depicts a local herdsman, milking and tending to their cattle. The celebration of life and nature is perfectly captured by Dawa in his brushstroke, colorful palette, use of light and negative space in this intense composition. His style of nearly abstracting his figures, breaking them down based to strokes of color and form is singular in his 1980's generation of Tibetan painters working today.
