Energy, a Sumi ink look at how we do it

Sumi-e is a Japanese word for a style of black ink painting.
Where portraying the essence (Ch'i) of Nature in an individual brushstroke, and placing emphasis on the beauty of each stroke, rather than to mimic realism, is a vital ingredient of Sumi-e.

This is an illustrated Art story (picture book for adults, not x-rated).
Each ink stroke evokes poetic imagery of the nature and energy of humans' being.

'Human Energy' illustrations are figurative spontaneous abstract art, they explore human energies such as love, life and dance. Each piece was titled with a corresponding mood, upon reflection of the series, the titles became a story and the story become a book, an art picture book.

We are happy to celebrate this deluxe hardcover edition of ‘Human Energy’.
