2008 Acrylic, modeling paste on canvas 122 x 244 cm (48 x 96 in) In Lianben's Zen Master, we see four abstract figures emerge from the gold gilded canvas, a palette that the artist very rarely used in his career. Adding to its meditative quality, the light blurs of texture that allow the figures to take shape provide viewer's with a sense of presence that is amplified by the imposing size of the artwork.,H.R.
