Lamb, Ken: - Ken Lamb has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of New South Wales. He specialised in modern landscape painting and abstract steel sculpture with a special interest in oriental aesthetics, Japanese sumi-e and traditional Chinese landscape ink paintings of the Sung dynasty. Ken began reading Zen at the age of 18, which led to the exploration of the history and philosophy of the Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian traditions in China and Japan. He has continued sumi-e Japanese ink painting for 40 years. After practising as an artist for ten years, having successful one man shows in Sydney and Colombo, Sri Lanka, he embarked on the journey of discovery of Japanese gardens. With the help of friends and a mentor and within only two years he had established Japanese Style Landscapes in Sydney. In 1984 this became Imperial Gardens Landscape Pty Limited, which quickly became Australia's leading landscape company specialising in oriental gardens. In Ken's words there has always been a close connection between landscape painting and garden design and construction in Japan. Many renowned gardeners were also painters. It was my greatest delight to realise that, when I began landscaping, I already knew the design aesthetics of oriental gardens as they are identical to landscape painting. The placement of rocks, trees, pathways and waterfalls and the respect for open space is the same. Ken became an inaugural director and board member of the International Association of Japanese Gardens in 1998 and the printing of this book coincided with him hosting the 7th International Symposium of Japanese Gardens in Sydney and Gosford in September 2012.
