法雨天花 Dharma Rain and Bodhisattva Blossoms

This artwork is a quintessential representation of the artist's distinctive style in Buddhist depictions, known as the "Golden Ink Buddhist Painting" series, earning him the title of "Li Jia Yang" in the industry.

Drawing inspiration from the early Tang Dynasty depiction of Avalokiteshvara in Cave 57 of the Mogao Grottoes, renowned for its exquisite facial features and often referred to as the "beautiful Bodhisattva," the artist has undertaken a creative reinterpretation based on the Dunhuang murals. This reinterpretation seamlessly blends the styles of Central Asian Gandharan sculpture while being influenced by the Vienna Secession master Gustav Klimt's artistic approach. Grounded in breaking away from convention, fostering imaginative creation, and exploring the realms of the universe and the mind, the artist harmoniously merges Eastern mysticism with Western decorative aesthetics. The artwork emphasizes the preservation of classical elements, intricate detailing, spatial management, and symbolic expression.

The vibrant statues, dispersed golden halos, and the opulent interplay of golden ink splatters create a mysterious ambiance, breaking free from the long-standing formulaic traditions of Buddhist paintings. The result is a canvas permeated with a strong individualistic character and an exuberant outpouring of creativity.
