Art of Andy Lee
Artist Andy Lee creates some of the most stylistic and beautiful artwork I have ever seen.
The artwork “[is] done in the traditional Chan Buddhist splash style which originated in China, circa 13th century B.C. Emperor Chan ruled during this era, making this period the Chan Dynasty. The Emperor was very strict and domineering. He permitted only specific styles of art and literature to permeate throughout his country. Anything not approved was illegal. Linework was very tight and the spoken/written word was extremely structured.
Because of these strict regulations, there became a backlash of artistic expression. Buddhist monks who lived during these times used bamboo brush, sumi ink and rice paper to meditate with. They would splash paint onto the paper and interpret the splashes and wild strokes further by adding a few lines here and there to create a recognizable image. The monks were not prosecuted because the paintings were deemed religious tools. Chinese splash painting was invented this way.”
