“No Gate” by Marilyn Wells - Abstract sumi e Original Unmounted

Abstract sumi e painting, Zen style, print with ink wash, wet and dry brushstrokes by Marilyn Wells was inspired by

The Great Way has no gate;

there are a thousand different paths;

once you pass through the barrier,

in royal solitude

you walk the universe alone.

     -Wu-Men 2140S 1  - 2140S

This original is unmounted. Zen Masters actually prefer leaving the paper wrinkled and with rough edges, just as it leaves the hand of the artist, so I am offering these in my Store as well as other mounted paintings. No prints are available on these.

Being unmounted, I am able to offer it to you at a lower price. It ships in a round carton.

These paintings are each unique art works. Imperfections are to be expected and are the hallmark of original art and the artist's hand, true wabi sabi. Sizes of original mulberry paper painting may vary, each approximately 14” x 18”. Each comes with its own Certificate of Authentication.
