The eight original “Zen of Golf” paintings from which these prints are made were commissioned by Scratch Golf Clubhouse- a new, ultra-private golfer’s lounge limited to only thirty members, opening in Westwood, California in late 2024, where they will be exhibited together with an exclusive selection of other paintings and photography by Bravo. When commissioned to create this series, the club’s owners specifically asked the artist to work within his “transcendental expressionist” style of black and white abstract paintings, keeping with the club’s modernist décor.  Bravo immediately felt the connection between his painting process of “letting go of the mind” with both golf and Japanese Zen Buddhist art.

The artist explains the ancient Japanese Zen Buddhist concept of “enso” and how it relates to golf and his “transcendental expressionist” style of painting:

“In Japanese Zen Buddhist art, there is a painting technique called “enso,” where a circle is made in one simple brushstroke. The enso circle symbolizes “mu,” which means the void, or nothingness, and represents the aesthetics of Zen minimalism. The circle is a representation of the mind reaching a paradoxical state of fullness and emptiness.  Each “Zen of Golf” painting was created with a minimal number of “enso-like” brushstrokes, each performed in a split second. Interestingly, the Japanese are famously avid golfers and Japan has the second most golf courses in the world.”

Scratch Golf Clubhouse- the ultra-private, members-only golfer’s lounge- has proudly selected Los Angeles multi-media artist Bravo Valenti’s paintings, photography and NFT’s to exclusive decorate their walls during the club’s inauguration. Scratch also commissioned Bravo to create a series of golf-inspired paintings in the artist’s “transcendental expressionist” style- intense brushstrokes of black acrylic paint on white paper.  Bravo immediately felt the connection between his painting process of “letting go of the mind” with both golf and Japanese calligraphy, creating this iconic series.

Speaking from his studio in Los Angeles, artist Bravo Valenti explains the ancient Japanese Zen Buddhist concept of “enso” and how it is related to golf and his “transcendental expressionist” style of painting:

“Enso” is a Japanese Zen Buddhist painting technique where a circle is usually made in one simple brush stroke. Golf, enso, and my painting technique all can only be mastered when the mind is liberated from constraint.  The enso circle symbolizes mu, which means the void, or nothingness, and represents the aesthetics of Zen minimalism. The enso is also thought to help with meditation practice. The circle is a representation of the mind reaching a paradoxical state of fullness and emptiness. Interestingly, the Japanese are famously avid golfers and Japan has the second most golf courses in the world. Each painting in my “Enso/Golf Series” was created with a minimal number of enso-like brushstrokes, each performed in a split second, without ‘thinking.”
