Si Yu Sheng Hui (Resplendent Like Jade)

Si Yu Sheng Hui (Resplendent Like Jade)

Artist：H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III(H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛)
 

　　There seems to be a common belief in painting circles that paintings of plantain trees and lichees are easy to paint.  However, this painting in front of you is by no means easy to paint.  How could a work of ordinary appeal deservedly use the title "Resplendent Like Jade"?  　The natural-looking, pleasing plantain tree in this painting was drawn with only a small number of strokes.  It is so beautiful and pleasant, so elegant and enrapturing.  It appears so natural, without the slightest mark of artificiality.  The plantain leaves were painted vigorously and spontaneously.  Each of the elegantly simple and adeptly painted matching lichees was completed with just a small number of brush touches.  Both the plantain tree and lichees lack any mediocrity and were painted without the slightest mental attachment in the mind of the artist.

　　The key point is that, with just a small number of simple strokes, the whole painting is impressively imbued with a strong jade-like charm and an auspicious air.  This is aptly expressed in the following short poem: "Unfurl the painting scroll and the especially fragrant scent of ink is sent forth, permeating the viewer's mind and intoxicating him to the core.  No more than a small number of strokes were applied.   This is the king of paintings in which ink is used as sparingly as gold."

Qing Cheng (Mount Qingcheng)

Artist：H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III (H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛)
Style：Wenfeng

　　”Mount Qingcheng”is an ink-and-wash painting done in the  " Wenfeng" style.  This work was created using the center brush-tip technique applied in calligraphy.  Inspired by a free and natural artistic conception, the artist's brush strokes and coloring were not applied deliberately.  Instead, the entire painting was created in one continuous stream of inspiration.

　　The painting depicts a scenic view located on Mount Qingcheng in Sichuan, China.  In studying the application of brush strokes and ink, we can see how extremely mature the artist's skills are.  Those skills enabled the artist to creat this painting imbued with such a scholarly air.

Bao Shou Tu (Precious Animals)

Bao Shou Tu (Precious Animals)

Artist：H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III(H.H. 第三世多杰羌佛)
Style：Kuangxi

　　The first feeling you have when looking at this painting is a strong sense of comfort and a natural and tranquil enjoyment.
　　At this moment, you forget everything else, focusing all of your attention on the painting.  Why?  It is not the allure of a typical painting of pandas.  Rather, it is the embodiment of the highest accomplishment in the art of painting-riveting charm and elegance together with a pure and extraordinary resonance.

　　This painting of five pandas is a rare and precious work of art.  Its layout harmoniously integrates emptiness and form, fully expressing a pure and fascinating appeal.  The method applied by the artist combined the scattered perspective technique used in Chinese paintings with the logical three-dimensional spatial perspective used in Western paintings.  The pandas were painted in fine brushwork, reflecting meticulous attention to detail and realistically capturing the vividness of their fur.  In addition, the style of freehand brushwork was used to paint the surrounding trees and scene.  The splashink technique applied to depict the surrounding scene provides a charming air of liveliness.  This vivid combination of the surreal and the real makes this a painting of wondrous brushwork. 

　　With the two techniques of fine and freehand brushwork cohesively fused, this piece is totally free of mundane artistry commonly found in the surroundig scenery of panda paintings.  This painting exhibits a scholarly style befitting a master of art.  A sense of stiffness or rigidity typical of works by common artists is completely absent.

　　We often see that paintings of pandas in fine brushowrk inevitably contain some degree of mediocrity and unoriginality.  Moreover, the fur of the pandas often conveys a sense of uncleanliness.  Such brushwork does not express an air of freshness and purity that transcends the mundane.  Why? The problem lies with the inability of such artists to depart from mediocrity in their techniques and frame of mind.  That is because they do not possess scholarly knowledge and have not studied the four forms of Chinese poetry, the Chinese classics, history, and the commentaries.  Thus the surrounding Scenes that they paint tend to reveal a mundane quality.

　　Conversely, the surrounding scenes of this panda painting are truly unique.  The artist portrays the vividly charming artistic essence of dual styles and three-dimensional space.  The pandas are more beautiful than real ones and even better looking and more lifelike than photographs of pandas.  They exemplify utter beauty, elegance, purity and cleanliness, as if they had just bathed in pristine water.

　　This composition is in the style of "Kuangxi."
