The sheer multitude of Asian sensibilities is the first lesson that the explosion of Asian art has to teach. Perhaps because they come from traditionalist cultures, even many younger Asian artists produce work that, like Chen's, acknowledges the history and long-standing cultural practices of their homelands. But preconceptions about the Japanese gift for wabi...
