Description
-
With thin lines and broad, gestural strokes smeared across the glossy surface using the artist's hands, the painting depicts a monk, possibly the Laughing Buddha (笑佛) or Budai (พระปู้ไต้), seated in a meditative posture with his eyes closed and lips pressed together, smiling peacefully. Clusters and columns of pseudo-calligraphic forms surround the monk.
