Zen painting I (禪畫（一）)
1974
Ink and colour on paper

Lui Shou-kwan’s Zen paintings were primarily inspired by lotus flowers which are depicted with free splashes of ink. In this work, the lotus leaves are broad ink strokes and blocks, while the red spot at the centre symbolises the purity of the lotus flower. The varying textures and shades of ink are a stimulating contrast with the empty space.
呂壽琨的禪畫基本上脫胎自大寫意潑墨荷花，此畫以闊大的水墨筆觸和塊面代替荷葉，以中心的一抹紅象徵荷花的純潔不染。水墨的乾濕濃淡與畫面的留白相映成趣，形成虛實對比。
