International contemporary painter, and stalwart citizen of the republic, Anne Radu, who is a practising Buddhist, has offered the public the chance to bid for her painting Paradise.

All proceeds from the painting will go to the Free Tibet Campaign.

The painting itself is an original and measures 16” x 20” (40 x 51cm) plus a rustic-style wide, flat frame in white. It is painted in mixed media in the Buddhist colours of maroons and saffrons, with a fresh green strip running through it.

Paradise appeared in numerous magazines nationwide over the summer of 2006 when it was shown as part of an exhibition in Great Russell Street, London. It was also shown in the Gora Gallery, Montreal, and is widely acclaimed to be “hot”.

Anne told the PRSD: “I would urge anyone who believes in the basic human rights of cultural freedom and religious tolerance to help the campaign by going on the internet, signing the petitions or writing to their MP or the Chinese Ambassador to Britain, asking for dialogue with the Dalai Lama. Please keep any protests peaceful and polite.”

The insurance value of the painting is currently well over £1,000, and the reserve price is £400 (plus approximately £30 transport costs within UK).

To view the painting, have a gander at Anne’s psychedelics paintings on her website or prospective bidders in the West Country can see the original by appointment. All bids and contacts to be via info@anneradu.com.
