The exhibition at the Lotus Art Gallery reviews how the Buddhist artist, in his late 30s, first converted to the ink art in his teens and a dozen years later, to Buddhism. By combining the practices of art and religion, he has become more aware of the ways to co-exist with one's surroundings in harmony.

He has found particular power in lotus, and he paints the flowers in his works.
Born in Hebei province, he resides at a temple deep in the mountains in Anhui province.
The exhibition runs until May 5.
