Acrylic on Canvas 200x100cm 2013, Lee Sun-Don
Last September when X-Power

represented artists Lee Sun-Don and Ma Sing Ling, it had amazed the art
lovers of local community. Now, X-Power will present another visual and
spiritual enjoyments, “Art with Me” – a Joint Exhibition of Master and
Pupils. The 53rd Venice Biennale participating artist Lee Sun-Don and

Wonderful Clouds／Dashing Clouds Turn Myriad Mountains into Poetry
Acrylic on Canvas 100x100cm 2013, Lee Sun-Don
Lee Sun-Don, with his
characteristic Totemic Energy Oil Painting, was invited to hold a solo
oil painting exhibition at the Venice Biennale in 2009, during when he
created impromptu on site and developed a series called “Utmost” – using
only two colors to craft an artwork’s multifaceted depths and rich
textures, artwork manifesting ethereal, transcendental profundity. For
this current exhibition, he presents his latest series, “Wonderful
Attainment” – using his spiritual eye to capture the poetic aura of
various world landscapes.
Floral Moon Duet／Grand Luck
Acrylic on Canvas 145x145cm 2013, Ma Sing Ling
Ma Sing Ling is an emerging artist trio composed of three young talents from Taiwan, MANIHOO, Singway and Ling Ling. Their artworks have been selected into several important contests such as those organized by the Royal West of England Academy and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. They fully take hold of challenges from the liquidity and free flow of the paints, to depict the rhythm and magnificence of nature. For this exhibition, we’ll present their “Form of Unity/Water Chants,” a series using painting to echo the Tang-Song poets’ literary description of water, and “Form of Unity/Brilliant Blue,” a series using color blue as its basic tone to illustrate the various facets of the mysterious and far-reaching horizons of mountains and rivers, with touches of gold clouds to brighten up the entire painting.

Chinese Talk - Lee Sun Don 李善單 - Wonderful Attainment / Toward Ten Achievements
Year: 2012 Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 145x145cm (100F)
How do you define perfection?
In Chinese culture, people use ten, said number 10 to describe 100% or perfect.
Also, in the decimal numeral system, when the number reaches 10, it then becomes or levels up to another "1".
In artist 李善單 Lee Sun Don's recent work, "Wonderful Attainment / Toward Ten Achievements", we have 9 mountains in the frame, and when we start to count, 1, 2, 3......, 8, and 9, and the last number 10 can just come to you since there is no other path but only you, and then you become the "one" such as it is. 十大一如。
The symbol of 9-mountains in the Lee's world also refers to Mount Jiuhua in AnHui Province where is famous for its rich landscape and ancient temples dedicated to Ksitigarbha (known in Chinese as Dìzàng, Chinese: 地藏, in Japanese as Jizō, source from Wikipedia)
The elements, mountains (read as Shan), boats in the river (read as jiang), and temples or shrimps (read as Miao4) and you, the viewer, all combine together to achieve the perfection!
More numbers in Mandarin language? Try first, one, 一....................

Chinese Talk - 李善單 Lee Sun Don - Wonderful Attainment／Soaring Dragon, Boundless Empire
"Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore.
In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs.
In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang and complements a yin fenghuang ("Chinese phoenix").
Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, hurricane, and floods.
In Chinese daily language, excellent and outstanding people are compared to the dragon while incapable people with no achievements are compared with other, disesteemed creatures, such as the worm. A number of Chinese proverbs and idioms feature references to the dragon, for example: "Hoping one's son will become a dragon" (望子成龍, i.e. be as a dragon). "

Wonderful Attainment / The Wonder of Converging Spirituality

Wind erosion (風化, feng hua4) is a major geomorphological force, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. It is also a major source of land degradation, evaporation, desertification, harmful airborne dust, and crop damage—especially after being increased far above natural rates by human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture. (Wikipedia)
風 (feng) Wind (How to write, Simplified Chinese), any natural force; in Chinese culture, "風 feng" could mean the trend, scene, information, anything could change the phase of matters in time, and like the insect in the cave.
化 (hua4) convert. (How to write)
Sand could be converted from rocks by wind erosion and any other forces.
