ZEN Series

by Shen Fung Lin

“ZEN as the core of my spirit ZEN is an abstract concept Peaceful coexistence with nature and learn from nature I used natural stones with different textures Rubbing its natural texture on paper I used: Graphite / charcoal pen / pencil / white charcoal / water......etc. Experiments with subversion and innovation with nature Conducted experimental creations of this series of Action Painting Pondered for about three and a half years from 2018 to 2020 ZEN As if the air is everywhere But it's out of reach "Heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, all things have spirits, coexist with each other and exist in the way of harmony." I broke away from digital creative media, saved electricity consumption, and gave up toxic chemical paints that would cause environmental pollution. Really face nature directly Working seamlessly with nature Let nature be my unlimited medium The diversity of stones in nature creates patterns that cannot be copied and re-pasted. The series of paintings is so unique Cannot be copied and replaced by programmed AI The artist's creativity and nature reap bright gifts from this time and space that merges with each other. extremely precious It also proves the incomparably beautiful realm that AI cannot reach. I would like to use this series of works to convey that the form of art painting should retain the independent creative thinking ability of artists and the preciousness of our unique existence as painters that cannot be replaced by AI.”
