Description:
Liang Kai paints with a large brush and wet ink. From the figure's shoulder to the lower hem of his robe, his powerful brush and resonant ink take flight with the explosive power of thunder and lightning. In the entire work with scarcely ten brush lines, an immortal appears who squints as he smiles. The simple brushwork amply expresses the gracious temperament of an immortal. Finished in a fraction of a second, the painting is in fact the result of years of diligent practice. Liang Kai uses wine to loosen his powers of artistic creation. When the wine is consumed, his intentions spill forth. Without hesitation and completely uninhibited, his paintings are a most authentic expression of self. This abbreviated painting style, also called "ink-play" bears a close relationship to Chan Buddhism. Liang Kai is an important figure in Chan painting. The traces of a wine-induced fervor, An Immortal, is rich in Chan meaning.
