Nick Pedersen ZEN MASTER

Nick Pedersen is an illustrator based out of Brooklyn, New York, USA. Today, EK spotlights Pedersen’s illustration series, “Sumeru”, depicting the road to becoming a Zen Master.

Pedersen has exhibited his work in galleries internationally, including the Museum of Russian Art, The Slingluff Gallery (USA), and Copper Palate Press (USA) among many others.

“Sumeru is a body of work that metaphorically illustrates the mental journey that is undertaken in Zen Buddhist training and practice. In Zen literature, the word ‘land’ is commonly used as a symbol for the ‘mind’, and through a series of photographic montage images I have envisioned an exploration into the depths of this metaphorical ‘mind-world’. The narrative follows a spiritual quest as the storyline symbolically wanders through various states of consciousness and perceptions.”

I don’t understand the first response to this incredible art. Interview? There are some things for which words are inadequate and this is one of them. Thank you Nick for this wonderful imagery.

How can any Zen Master be called Zen Master?

I too would like to read an interview. its an important aspect of introspection to hear from an inspiring artist, whether or not the “explain” their work.
