Sekkan

Sekkan’s paintings feel like a quiet rebellion: the monk rides backward on his ox, defying every rule of perspective and decorum. He flips the usual scene, no glorious arrival, just a man staring back at us while his mount ambles along. Why not take the slow, sideways view?

That same stubborn sideways glance shows up in every corner of his work, from ink-washed landscapes to robed figures mid-prayer. Look for Monk Riding Backward on an Ox, it’s the perfect entry to his world where nothing lines up the way you expect.
