几年来,我在纽约、芝加哥和旧金山等地的画廊与展览中看到了一些像中国古代徐渭、朱耷和石涛式艺术家的作品。在审视这些作品时,使我产生了一些思考:这些艺术家的表达为什么与古代中国绘画艺术精神竟如此相似;为什么古代中国绘画艺术思想却在西方当代绘画实践中得以呈现?在后来的了解中,我发现这些艺术家对东方艺术都有一定的了解和接触。在这里介绍的六位艺术家中,都多少受到东方艺术、哲学和宗教思想的影响和启发,这对他们的艺术表达方式的形成或许存在着某种内在联系。

For years, I have seen works by artists like Xu Wei, Zhu Xi and Shi Tao in ancient China, in galleries and exhibitions in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. When I looked at these works, I got some thoughts: why these artists’ expressions are so similar to those of the ancient Chinese art of painting; why the ancient Chinese art of painting was presented in the practice of contemporary Western paintings? Later on, I found that these artists have some understanding and contact with oriental art. Among the six artists described here, they are all influenced and inspired by Oriental artistic, philosophical and religious thoughts, which may have some intrinsic connection with the formation of their artistic expression.
