Artist Talk: A Conversation with Artist Lee Chun-yi

Friday, June 6, 6 – 7 PM

Artist Lee Chun-yi will join us virtually to discuss Heart Sutra Landscape, on view in Art of the Word: Calligraphy and Chinese Artists. His unique, brushless technique draws inspiration from ink rubbings of ancient texts carved into stone, such at the Heart Sutra which Lee repeats nine times across this 11 1/2-foot handscroll. Discover how and why Lee used the text of the Heart Sutra as a grid-like foundation to create a panoramic view of mountains shrouded in mist.
