Alok Hsu Kwang-han is an internationally acclaimed and highly original Zen calligraphic painter from China. His art is a startling new synthesis of the beauty of Chinese calligraphy, the spontaneity of Zen, and the evolution of western psychotherapy.
With a few spontaneous brush strokes, Alok paints whatever subject is presented before him in the moment-- heartful music, Japanese haikus, the essence of a particular individual, three jokes on the innocence of children, sayings of enlightened masters, a prayer for the healing of the world, or his beloved saying, "The heart always breaks!".
"His creations are both, or neither, calligraphy and painting, a completely new manifestation of art, through which one perceives the heart of a sage and his empathetic understanding of the soul of man. So free and spontaneous, his brush strokes express the experience and sentiments of the heart, and because of the absence of any constraints, each painting is able to hide a secret to be discovered by the viewer who is open to the spirit." "Amphibious Art-Neither Painting nor Calligraphy", art review by Shen Jiayuan, XinMin Weekly, Shanghai, China, Mar.27- Apr.4, 2000.
