Ho Hsin-Yan
TAIWAN, Hsinchu
Ho Hsin-Yan was a well-known painter who specialized in creating Buddhist scrolls for Dharma services. His depictions of the Buddha are characterized by their oblique shoulders and detailed contours in vivid hues, such as indigo paired with colors in stark contrast. Rich in ornate and imperial essence, Ho uniquely blended his painting style with Taiwanese folklore, creating one of the mainstream styles of the 1930’s.
Ho was well-known for his Buddhist paintings, which include the Three Buddhas, Medicine Buddha, Manjusri and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas, Skanda and Sangharama Bodhisattvas, Eighteen Arhats, Four Heavenly Kings, and Ten Kings of Hell.
