Painting on Burlap

Nov. 10 - Dec. 1, 2006

Lao Lianben affirms his position as a master of subtlety and refined strokes in "Painting on Burlap." Respecting and working with the burlap's pronounced and coarse interweaving, the artist applies his thoughts on it which assume the whorls and undulations of the fiber. His concept becomes full-bodied form, his gesture dramatic texture. As much vision as material, the paintings are the corrugated ramifications of a singular mind, radiant and instant like a lightbolt.
