Bay Area artist Lampo Leong’s artwork and career have recently taken off. In his current solo exhibition entitled Contemplation • Forces, he mixes Western abstract art sensibilities with traditional Chinese calligraphy and modern computer technology to create an explosive universal visual language for the new millennium.
“Chinese brush painting and calligraphy value the unique moment when ink is put indelibly on rice paper. Each stroke declares the totality of the artist’s experiences. Western art composes symphonies of color and light, texture and depth,” Leong states in The Common Ground of Light and Creativity: Contemplation • Forces, an album containing 34 paintings from the series. “Today’s unprecedented exchanges, a melding of traditions, makes possible the attempt to genuinely understand both cultures.”
