Iluminador de poemas

About the artist.
Nod Young's works have travelled all around the world, always invited to be part of any exhibition dedicated to Chinese young art and graphic design. Prolific and a workaholic, Nod Young is also the Co-Founder and Creative Director of ultra hip Khaki Creative & Design agency. Light years from this, Nod Young is a follower of Buddhism and believes that creativity can be derived from its teachings. The «Puti Tree» series is a typographic interpretation of two poems quoted from the original zen classic, The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, that dates back almost to 1500 years ago. The poems teach us not to believe all that which exists, not even the reflection of ourselves in a mirror. We have to learn to overcome the rules and boundaries of our existence in order to reach a state of Zen, unfettered by the perceived limitations of life.
