"Enso 1 - The Circle of Everything” 2024

About the Artwork:
This performative painting was created live during rehearsals for the debut of “The Circle of Everything” interdisciplinary performance art work at Camden Fringe 2024.

The Enso, an iconic symbol of Zen Buddhism, represents unity, enlightenment, strength, and elegance. Painted in one fluid masterstroke and a single breath, it captures the essence of being in the flow, embodying the Zen philosophy of synchronicity and life force energy.

Created by artist Kamila CK, this large-scale Enso was painted live and integrated into the choreography of the performance. This Compared to the previous 2023 collection, those Enso are painted with new large LLX Japanese brush.

This work is part of Kamila CK’s ongoing exploration of Enso painting, a practice she has been developing since 2018 to explore synchronicities in art. Inspired by her studies of traditional Japanese calligraphy (shodo) under the guidance of Japanese teacher Rie Takeda during her visits to Japan in 2018 and 2019, Kamila has created a distinctive style that blends traditional Zen calligraphy with contemporary visual art, performance, and aerial movement.
