How much is Ma Dabei's calligraphy worth?

Ma Dabei, formerly known as Ma Jianchang, 1962, was born in Hengshui, Hebei. He lives in Beijing now and is a Buddhist disciple. He converted to Fayuan Temple and became a monk. Graduated from Capital Normal University, majoring in calligraphy, studied under Mr. Ouyang, and later studied under other famous teachers. He is currently a member of China Calligraphers Association, China Artists Association, China Great Wall Calligraphers Association and the president of Buertang Painting and Calligraphy Institute.

From the first exhibition of 1985 modern calligraphy to now, the exploration of modern calligraphy has gone through more than 20 years. In order to distinguish it from traditional calligraphy, some book critics call it Explorer, Modernist, New Calligraphy and China Calligraphy. These calligraphers improved China's calligraphy art by western visual arts. As a calligraphy phenomenon under the contemporary China calligraphy trend of thought, although they provided a different visual attempt in the process of China's calligraphy transformation from classical to contemporary, and provided some beneficial elements for the development of China's calligraphy art, this exploration cannot be called a kind of calligraphy. Ma Dabei is a typical representative of China's modernist calligraphy.
