Simply the King; (click on image to go to Siglio Press), from Tantra Song by Franck André Jamme, Siglio Press, 2011.

Getting a lot of web attention are the images from the book Tantra Song by Franck Andre Jamme, and Siglio Press. Jamme’s journey to find the paintings he saw in Paris, 1970s, are part of the attention getting too. You can read about it at the Siglio Press site. The paintings isolate and are meant for meditation. They are so different from the highly decorative and colorful drawings, paintings, and architectural sculptures of India and Tibet and similarity to modern minimalist paintings. Many people are taking a look out for the book.
