90年代末期，哲學藝術家杜新健旅居加拿大，同時抽象藝術家布日古德也開始在加拿大工作并生活。兩位藝術家都將自己的創(chuàng)作置于東西方對話的大背景之中。杜新健繪畫技巧相當精湛，布日古德擅長單色抽象畫，盡管風格迥異，他們在西方繪畫風格的運用和中國精神文化的表達方面驚人地相似。

杜新健以其純熟演繹人體結構和風景畫而聞名，其中不乏向馬格里特等歐洲超現(xiàn)實主義大師致敬之作。而在他的視覺世界里反復運用魚這一符號與其他生物形成對比，充滿佛教哲學的意味。同樣地，布日古德的表現(xiàn)手法不禁讓人聯(lián)想到“西方抽象藝術之王”馬勒維奇和羅斯科，而他表達的卻是中國深厚的道、禪、佛精神。在此次獨一無二的雙人展中我們將會發(fā)現(xiàn)，東西方在文化的交流中并不扮演既定的角色。這是一場持續(xù)進行的有機互動，多種藝術特性正在不斷涌現(xiàn)。

Du Xinjian and Burigude Zhang Painting Exhibition Press Release

Living and working in Canada since the late 1990s, philosopher-artist Du Xinjian and abstract artist Burigude Zhang both posit themselves within an artistic dialogue between East and West. For all their stylistic differences - Xinjian in his technical virtuosity and Zhang in his monochromic abstractions - these artists are surprisingly similar in their use of Western painting styles and representation of Chinese cultures and spirituality.

Du Xinjian is renowned for his skillful rendering of human anatomy and landscape, all the while referring to surrealist European masters such as René Margritte. Yet his continual use of the fish motif within his visual worlds draws a comparison between living beings in a way that is reminiscent of Buddhist philosophies. Burigude Zhang, in a similar vein, evokes the “kings” of Western abstract art -such as Malevich and Rothko- yet expresses the profundities of Taoist, Zen and Buddhist beliefs. In this original exhibition, we are thus reminded that cultural exchange does not constitute a play in which the East and West play designated roles, but an organic and ongoing interaction from which plural artistic identities can emerge.
