About the Item

Sax Berlin followers will already be aware that a second love of his is music. He has created this piece as a tribute to Motown; Berry Gordy Jr's classic record label. Motown music brought racial integration into music in the troubled America of the 1960's and remains an iconic genre well into the twentieth century. Smokey Robinson, himself a soul music legend said of the label, "we were not only making music we were making history", as is Sax Berlin with his Sharp Edge 21st century  Neo- expressionist New York City style.  Motown and Berlin cross barriers, breaking down and integrating people with art & music. Listen to Berlin's description of this painting and you will hear his passion and his voice of hope for the future through music and art. Acrylic on canvas

Heaven's Gate, Jazz Bardo. Mixed Media Contemporary Neo-Classicism

By Sax Berlin

Located in Brecon, Powys

Bardol Thodol literally means liberation through hearing and comes from The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Bardo is the transitional state between death & rebirth. Lovers of jazz and music in general will be all too aware of how one can be transported to this suspended state when listening to music. This state is expressed beautifully in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and here we quote directly from it "remember the clear light, the pure clear white light...............Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature". Jazz Bardo, Heavens Gate...
