Contemplation Maps – The Spirit of Zen paintings by talented contemporary
Chinese artist Liao Jianhua celebrates the spirit of Zen. Featuring 12
paintings inspired by the aesthetic ideas and spiritual values of Zen, this
exhibition captures the Zen ideals such as simplicity, austerity, restraint and
naturalness.
Liao Jianhua works on an unconventional medium of cotton and adopts an
abstract expressionism style through painstaking Chinese brushstrokes. At
first glance, his abstract compositions appear to be dense and complex but
they gradually become austere and contemplative. By incorporating the Zen
ideals into his paintings, Liao brings a sense of tranquility and harmony into
our pressurized routines and myriad external distractions.
