PANCA MARGA | JOHN BISHOP

JULY 9 - OCTOBER 9, 2021

Dab Art Co. is pleased to announce Panca Marga, a solo exhibition of works by John Bishop, selected by Micheal Swank (PRPG.mx).

Panca Marga is a Buddhist concept recognizing that when seekers believe they have reached the end of their quest for perfection, there still remain five roads they must traverse. At 61, Bishop sees a parallel in his artistic career to these religious teachings. He has created 20 works of varying sizes, highly collectable, on both paper and canvas, that reflect where he is today in his art practice. The pieces are bold and exciting, and use as their inspiration the first of the five paths of Panca Marga, the Path of Accumulation. The next installment in the Panca Marga series is the Path of Meditation, and will be released in 2025.

John, a native Houstonian, has spent much of his life traveling. He graduated from St. Thomas University in Houston, did graduate work at the University of Houston, and obtained his Master’s degree from the University of Texas in Austin. He and his husband now work full-time on their creative careers based at Silver Street Studios in Sawyer Yards of Houston, Texas.
