Straddling the artistic traditions of both Eastern abstract brushwork and Western color sensibility, Xu Jianguo has melded both techniques to create works that push the boundaries of contemporary art. Xu’s unique medium, rice paper with sumi ink, watercolor, acrylics, and oil paints, testifies to his cross-cultural heritage. In this lecture, Xu will talk about his practice and views on art. Together with philosopher Chai Zhongjian, he will explore how an artist can creatively integrate the spirit and ethics of traditional Chinese culture with Western art and philosophy, forming one’s own unique style.
