Around the corner at Bohemia Framery and Fine Art, on A Street, an extraordinary exhibit of contemporary calligraphic work will be presented by the Artist Alok Hsu Kwang-han through June. He is an internationally acclaimed and highly original Zen calligraphic artist whose paintings are a striking synthesis of the beauty of Chinese calligraphy, the spontaneity and simplicity of Zen, as well as the evolution of Western Psychotherapy. These paintings are like Zen gates — entering the paintings we “come home” to ourselves.
