Yan Pei-Ming — Golden Buddha
Yan Pei-Ming

Golden Buddha

A monumental golden Buddha emerges from turbulent, gestural brushwork in Yan Pei-Ming's commanding large-scale painting. The artist's characteristic bold, expressive strokes render the sacred figure in luminous shades of gold and ochre, creating a tension between reverence and raw painterly energy. Ming's signature monochromatic approach transforms a symbol of spiritual serenity into a visceral, emotionally charged presence.
