He was also an active member of the vibrant Shanghai school of painting and in close contact with many in a wide artistic circle. The artist was also a devout lay Buddhist and a generous philanthropist. While traveling to Japan for business, Wang Zhen was able to view many early Chinese paintings in the Chan Buddhist tradition from the Song and Yuan dynasties. Here, the angular, bold lines on the Bodhisattva's robes recall expressive brushwork found in the later paintings by the Song Master Liang Kai (active 1172-c. 1204).
