3. Juror & Curator :
Juror: Prof. Lee, Sun-Don (http://arts.sundon.net )
Master Lee Sun-Don, the 3rd Patriarch of Buddhist Forshang, born in Kaohsiung of south Taiwan, is the pioneer of “Totemic Energy Oil Painting,” a genre characterized by mind-awakening aesthetics. Based on spiritual enlightenment, Lee’s totemic artwork catches Zen wisdom and the ineffable harmony of the universal energies. More impressively, although receiving no academic training, Lee develops totemic aesthetics that challenges, transcends, and opens up the horizon of contemporary art. It is no wonder that his emergence in the art circles soon catches incredible attention and commendation from all over the world.

This year (Jan.-Nov.), Lee has won more than thirty honorable recognitions across the globe, including the prestigious RWS / Sunday Times Watercolour Competition in UK, the Royal West of England Academy 156th Autumn Exhibition, the 29th Gredos Prize for Painting in Spain, the 55th Stockton Art League Juried Exhibition, the L’Chayim Art Show in USA (wining 2nd Place), and four French International Autumn Salons (e.g., Lunéville). His artworks have also been selected and invited to exhibit in the museums and expositions of great renown: MOMA in Wales, Russian Academy of Arts, National Art Museum of China, Museum of Kyoto in Japan, Haggin Museum in USA, Gallery Gabrichidze in Belgium, Gallery Silver Brush in Finland, and Florence Biennale 2009 in Italy, just to name a few. Appreciating his creativity, many international-celebrated art societies in Europe, America, and Australia have granted him membership, of which is the 1754-established Royal Society for the Encouragement of Art, Manufactures & Commerce, best known as RSA – the first art society that was conferred upon the title of “Royal” in British history. Camaver Kunsthaus International, an Italy-based art group with galleries located in EU and USA, even exalts Lee as the “Top Artist” – in the past 60 years or so only five artists in the world have received such honor.

Curator: A. K. Chen
