white canvases that have been set on fire. Spires of black smoke — lit by occasional sparks of yellow and incandescent white — rise from tabletops then fade into the ether.

Soot refers to burning in both medium and subject as Lianben’s blackened surfaces are made from graphite and charcoal, the solid remains of fire.

Associated with many religious rituals, the flame is a universal symbol of transformation and purification. Recognizing this, Lianben includes in this exhibition stark depictions of ancestral altars; votive candles; and images of Buddha, the enlightened one who told a thousand monks that “all is burning” in his Fire Sermon.

Soot burns gently with candle flames and singed canvases: it is meditation, self-immolation, and devotion all at once.
