Avalokiteśvara

The White-Robed Guan Yin in Xia Jing Shan’s painting has a round healthy full complexion, arched eyebrows, narrow eyes, adhering to the prevalent iconography in the prime of tang dynasty, donned in pure white, sitting in a lotus position on the rock against a backdrop of caves, cliffs and budding greens from the cracks. The painting features such simplistic, well-streamed, forceful lines that an inexplicable Zen-like presence brims from the Guan-Yin image. This work is inspired as a continuum from Muxi’s literati painting, White-Robed Guan Yin, added with innovation on the basis of traditional ink-and-wash painting techniques.
