Alok Hsu Kwang-han is aninternationally acclaimed and

highly original Zen calligraphicpainter from China. His art is a startling new synthesis of the beauty of Chinese calligraphy, thespontaneity of Zen, and the evolution of western psychotherapy.His paintings are not only unusualand striking in their beauty, theyalso convey an invitation for us toenter. Quietly entering the paintings,we come home to ourselves.

With a few spontaneous brushstrokes, Alok paints whatever subject is presented before him in the moment– heartful music,Japanese haikus, the essence of aparticular individual, three jokes onthe innocence of children, sayings ofenlightened masters, a prayer forthe healing of the world, or hisbeloved saying, "The heart alwaysbreaks!"…

"Every morning I sit up in bed and see Alok’s painting, ‘Just sitting, not doing,the Spring comes and the grassgrows by itself!’.I breath deeply, remember to relax, and move through my day with ease."

"His creations are both, or neither, calligraphy andpainting, a completely new manifestation of art,through which one perceives the heart of a sageand his empathetic understanding of the soul ofman. So free and spontaneous, his brush strokesexpress 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."
