"Eighteen Lohans" is a celebrated series of paintings by the renowned Qing Dynasty artist Gao Qipei (1660–1734). Gao Qipei, known for his unique and innovative painting techniques, was a prominent figure in Chinese art, particularly noted for his finger painting. The "Eighteen Lohans" series exemplifies his mastery and creativity, capturing the spiritual and physical essence of the Lohans, who are revered figures in Buddhism.

The Lohans, or Arhats, are considered enlightened disciples of the Buddha who have achieved Nirvana. They are often depicted in Chinese art as guardians of the Buddhist faith, each with distinct characteristics and attributes. Gao Qipei's interpretation of these figures is particularly noteworthy for its dynamic and expressive style. Unlike traditional brush painting, Gao often used his fingers and palms to create bold, fluid strokes, imparting a sense of immediacy and vitality to his works.

In "Eighteen Lohans," Gao Qipei's innovative techniques are on full display. The paintings are characterized by their vigorous lines and the expressive, almost caricature-like depiction of the Lohans. Each figure is rendered with a unique personality, capturing both their divine nature and their human-like qualities. The use of ink and color in these paintings is also significant, showcasing Gao's ability to blend traditional Chinese painting methods with his distinctive approach.

The series not only reflects Gao Qipei's artistic prowess but also his deep understanding of Buddhist iconography and philosophy. The "Eighteen Lohans" stands as a testament to his ability to convey complex spiritual themes through his art. Today, these paintings are highly regarded in the study of Chinese art history, illustrating the innovative spirit of Qing Dynasty painting and Gao Qipei's lasting influence on the genre.
