The Art of Sumi-e
Japanese Ink Painting
The Art of Sumi-e
My thoughts and personal approach to ink painting called Sumi-e:I am a contemporary sumi-e painter reaching beyond the limits of traditional ink painting. My paintings one would not generally call traditional sumi-e. However, I adhere to the traditional sumi-e principles and philosophies, as well as, the traditional preparation before beginning a sumi-e painting.
Sumi-e expresses the character and soul of the artist. It is a meditative process and spiritually personal. Understanding this concept has been at the center of my art. I have been a student of Western painting and of ink painting. Ink painting called Sumi-e has captivated my spirit and soul. I am continually trying to increase my understanding of the secret of beauty and grace and elegance. The example of an ink painting that I have created and included above is called Branch of Persimmon. Expressed in words by my Haiku:
" juicy ripe, branch of persimmon, gently live."
- Casey
As an artist, for me, ink painting is a meditation and a creative process. I concentrate on trying to capture spirit as the ink is transferred to the paper with the stroke of the brush. The brush is pushed across the surface of the paper quickly. If your intention is correct, the object in the picture seems to 'breathe and take on life'. This unseen yet felt breath begins to fill the page with spirit just as it does in all of nature which surrounds us. The special power of the painted form shines and immerges through the ink and the white page. The white space surrounding the painted form becomes as important as the object itself. The ink painting represents soul, spirit, elegance, and beauty all at the same time and in concert. As I mentioned in my artist bio, meditating combined with the creative process literally saved my life. To learn more about recovery art, please visit Healing with Art at caseyshannon.com
The Sumi-e art form is steeped in Zen Buddhism. In Sumi-e or ink painting, you have to 'become one' with the object in the painting. When you understand and/or experience how the simple and bold lines of the brush strokes and various shades of the ink are transformed to create a powerful spirit and energy, then you will have a sense of what these philosophies and paintings are all about.
Brush painting or ink painting called Sumi-e in Japan is done quickly without over thinking your subject matter. Once the brush is laid to the white paper and you have a mark, that's it. There is no erasing, doing over, or changing. The painting 'just exists'. This is why one who creates Sumi-e paints from a quiet centered place and has the intention of capturing the object's spirit and essence with just a few simple and graceful brush strokes.Sumi-e exemplifies the concept of 'Less is More.'
'Kokoro tadashikereba sunawachi fude tadashi'.
If your mind is correct, the brush will be correct.

Hakuin
The Sound of One Hand
What is the sound of one hand clapping?So asked Hakuin, the author of this well known Zen koan. Hakuin was one of the most important Japanese Zen masters of the Rinzai school. Hakuin often asked his students to contemplate and meditate on this koan. Hakuin Ekaku (1686-1769 or 1685-1768) was one of the most influential figures in Japanese Zen Buddhism.
Much of Hakuin's practice focused, as his teachings did, on zazen and koan practice. His motto was "meditation in the midst of activity is a thousand times superior to meditation in stillness". Hakuin's experiences of enlightenment seemed to come at unexpected moments, often when he was just walking or reading. One experience that he wrote about took place while he was walking through a torrential rain. As the water reached his knees, he suddenly realized the meaning of a particular verse that he had read earlier, and was seized by enlightenment. He had many such experiences, both large and small. Laughter was a large part of Hakuin's reaction to his enlightenments, and he was known to burst into spontaneous laughter upon realizing the essence of a particular koan, causing those around him to believe him to be a madman.
My heartfelt mission is to tell everyone on the planet that there is hope and life after stroke or any traumatic life-altering experience. I want to inspire others not only with my words but also with my art. Hakuin asked this question: 'What is the sound of one hand clapping?'. Could it be painting in wild abandon with your non-dominate hand? Creating 'The Sound of One Hand'?

Enso One - Winner!
Winner of the Parents Day competition on ImageKind!
Copyright © 2009 - 2012Casey Shannon Studio Art.
All rights reserved.
The enso is an expression of the mind of the artist who brushes it. As a symbol, the circle expresses the totality of our being. The circle points to the most vital aspect of our essence -- it's ultimate wholeness. The enso symbolizes enlightenment, power, and the universe itself. It is a direct expression of thusness or this-moment-as-it-is. Enso is considered to be one of the most profound subjects in zenga (Zen inspired painting).
Inside this image of Enso One, is painted a mother bird watching over her nest of babies and eggs. And, protecting it as a pleased and proud parent. As does the Enso, 'parents symbolize 'enlightenment and a circle of protection'.
This award winning image may be purchased as a Fine Art Print at Casey Shannon Studio Sumi Gallery at ImageKind. The original sumi-e is SOLD!
Enso Aven
Copyright © 2009 - 2012 Casey Shannon Studio Art. All rights reserved.
This image was inspired by my new granddaughter. Her name is Aven. Aven is a 15th century Celtic name meaning 'pure radiance'. Aven is also a flower. Mountain Aven's are delicate yet strong study little flowers that grow in very high altitudes. These little beauties are related to the rose. Puts a different meaning to the phrase 'my wild Irish rose!'The original Enso is not for sale.

My Art Altar
This is where I create Sumi-e in my studio.
I call this my 'Art Altar' because creating my Sumi-e is a meditative process and spiritually personal. I am drawn into the present moment totally and completely. For me, painting is a complete journey into art. Beautiful Art Supplies!
These are some of the tools I use to paint my Sumi-e.
Creating Sumi-e is to be able to utilize beautiful tools. I use my personally carved artist seals or chops, red seal paste, beautifully decorated bamboo or porcelain brushes with many different hair-types, lovely Japanese watercolor cups, grinding stones in meaningful shapes, and ink sticks (black and color). For me, being able to use such gorgeous tools is part of the allure of painting Sumi-e. Casey Shannon Studio

Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay" from French) is a process of making fine art prints from a digital source usung ink-jet printing. The name was originally applied to fine art prints created on Iris printers in a process invented in the early 1990s but has since come to mean any high quality ink-jet print and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such prints. Beside its association with Iris prints, in the past few years, the word "giclée," as a fine art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant "archival" inks. I have 15 images to choose from in my Fine Art Gallery not found elsewhere. You can finish your piece and choose a mat and frame of your choice right on the website.

Great new Sumi-e resource
This has been just published in June 2010 and is a wonderful Sumi-e resource. This is a beautifully designed hardcover book with loads of gorgeous illustrations. It even has a 'how-to' DVD. This is a really lovely book! This all-in-one resource also provides a time line of brush painting history, a glossary of terms, a guide to sources and an index-making it a tool to use and treasure, for amateurs and professionals alike.
Learn the Art of Sumi-e
Learning Sumi-e is fun. Howerver, it takes dedication and practice. It is not always possible to find a qualified Sumi-e instructor where you live. Therefore, I offer to you these books and DVD that are very helpful. You can always check the community college or the Asian Cultural Center in your area, if you have one, for Sumi-e teachers.

- I loved this lens and your art is absolutely breathtaking and inspiring. I am a professional artist as well but my work is done meticulously with tiny paintbrushes over hundreds of hours.
Your Sumi-e is like catching a poem in mid breath, or watching a butterfly's wings reflect a ray of sunlight. Your artwork has inspired me to learn more about Sumi-e. Thank you!

After Stroke: Enhancing Quality of Life
As you read in my bio, I experienced a massive stroke and art helped save my life! This is a great reference. It is a book for stroke survivors, their friends and family, their caregivers, and health care professionals. This book has many contributors. I wrote a chapter in this book called, 'Aha, There is a Reason'. My chapter starts on page 161.

Need some assistance?
As I mentioned in my biography, I recovered from a very devastating brain-stem stroke. One of the things I learned from that experience was that you can't do it alone and you need help. Therefore, I'd like to share some books that may benefit you or someone you know that may be dealing with 'stroke'. For more information on stroke recovery art visit my website at: caseyshannon.com

Donate to Rising Star Outreach
Rising Star's mission is to help Leprosy colonies become thriving, self-sufficient communities. They are accomplishing this through three major initiatives: to educate the colony children in a safe and healthy environment, to provide leprosy patients with their own small businesses using micro-finance, and to address the unique health challenges of the colonies with mobile medical unitsLeprosy is curable. Rising Star Outreach seeks to defeat it. Even so, people who have contracted leprosy must often spend their lives completely isolated from society, although they may have been cured. They, and members of their families, sometimes find it impossible to marry, receive education or find work. An estimated 100 million people worldwide are victims of this discrimination. In India there are over 700 "leprosy colonies" where the stigma of leprosy is inevitably perpetuated. If caught early enough, Leprosy can be stopped before it ravages a body and ruins a life.
Please consider supporting this incredible organization.

Donate and save a Cheetah
Help Save the Cheetah!
This is one of my favorite organizations. I have adopted two cheetahs. Solo, an adult cheetah and a very fast runner. And, Quazr, a cheetah cub that has a 'tail disability'. Go to their site and read about my cheetah adoptions. They have fascinating stories. Please help save this magnificent animal!
The Cheetah Conservation Fund works to ensure the long-term survival of the cheetah and its ecosystem through a multi-disciplined and integrated conservation program of research and education.
