Further details
Lampo Leong’s Emanation series incorporates geometric structure with the classical ink brushwork to attain a postmodern sensibility. With water and ink colliding and intertwining, an array of ink splashes marches in directional movements, forming a central element that is both like a planet orbiting in space, and a surge of light emanating from within. These familiar yet abstract images reveal the vitality in nature and the enigmatic process of creation in the universe. Reflecting a reverence for both the spirit of Daoism and the sublime, as well as a wonder at a universe exposed through science, Leong’s painting celebrates the dynamic energies that give birth to new life, new planets, and new stars.
