This is one of Lui Shou-kwan’s most unique and iconic Zen paintings. The blank background vividly contrasts with the rhythmic layers of broad, black strokes. A red spot sits silently at the top, like a flame or bud, forming the central element of the Zen painting. This work is the culmination of his inner vision expressed in innovative forms that showcases Lui’s life-long exploration of Western modern art, Buddhist and Taoist teachings and traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting.
此為呂壽琨獨創、最具代表性的禪畫。背景留白與疏密有致的大筆掃墨呈強烈對比；一撮如花苞如火焰的紅，凝定於律動筆觸之上，構成禪畫的主要元素。禪畫展示了呂氏終其一生對現代西方藝術、中國傳統書畫和佛道哲理的探研，是他以新形表現內心觀照的顛峰之作。
