the oriental medical books and illustrations by veet allan
Project Previews
Illustration image
The collage above is composed of two studies of the Zen
Shiatsu lung meridian (left 2007 and upper centre 2005)
and one from my ‘clouds and rain’ project (right 2008)
concerning the yin and yang qiao mai and the primordial
source vessels. Their common area of influence is the
upper body and therefore resonance of tianqi or heavenly
qi.
Illustrations
My work is inspired
from the study, practice
and teaching of various
natural aspects of Asian
and oriental culture
since the late 1970’s.
These include
meditative disciplines
and various healing
modalities such as the
Zen Shiatsu method.
However, during the mid
1990’s I gradually
developed a particular
interest in early Chinese
medical and
philosophical literature,
including the pictorial
elements of ancient
Chinese characters or
pictographs. These
studies now inform most
of my current projects.
I hope to offer prints of
my illustrations for sale
via this website in the
near future.
Meantime, check out the
various project previews
and commentaries
available via the right
side of this page.
