Guided by the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine, Echoes Beyond the Frame leads readers to transcend the visual appearance of paintings, delve into the inner world behind the brushstrokes, explore the hidden experiences of life, and achieve inner self-healing.
This book is a collaborative effort between Dr. Chen Keng Leong, a renowned Singaporean TCM practitioner and columnist, and Mr. Wan Soon Kam, a senior Singaporean painter.
The book is divided into twenty chapters, each a dialogue between the visual and the spiritual. While appreciating the impressionistic or representational paintings, readers will simultaneously engage with Dr. Chen's discussions on life fluctuations, the flow of the Five Elements, and emotional regulation, thus gaining a new perspective on the world.
Through the shared origins of medicine and painting, it redefines "healing": finding the vital energy of life and accepting one's present moment is the best form of healing.
