About this artwork
Once when Baizhang gave a series of talks, a certain old man was always there listening together with the monks. When they left, he would leave too. One day, however, he remained behind. Baizhang asked him, “Who are you, standing here before me?”
The old man replied, “I am not a human being. In the far distant past, in the time of Kasyapa Buddha, I was head priest at this mountain. One day a monk asked me, “Does an enlightened person fall under the… law of cause and effect or not?” I replied, “ Such a person does not fall under the law of cause and effect.” With this I was reborn five hundred times as a fox. Please say a turning word for me and release me from the body of a fox.”
He then asked Baizhang, “ Does an enlightened person fall under the law of cause and effect or not?”
Baizhang said, “Such a person does not obscure the law of cause and effect.”
Hearing this, the old man was immediately enlightened. Bowing, he said, "I am now liberated from the body of a wild fox"

« Our hand is smarter than our minds, it already knows the things we cannot put into words. It holds all of our childhood memories, our thoughts and fears. »
Rona Perlman is an exciting Israeli artist who has participated in exhibitions, publications and residencies throughout the country. Across two parallel practices: expressive oil painting and carbon paper mixed media works, she explores the formal possibilities of pattern, brushwork and abstraction. Harnessing influences from Japanese art and abstract expressionism, she composes intriguing works that encourage each viewer to linger in both visual and philosophical contemplation.
