90年代末期，哲学艺术家杜新健旅居加拿大，同时抽象艺术家布日古德也开始在加拿大工作并生活。两位艺术家都将自己的创作置于东西方对话的大背景之中。杜新健绘画技巧相当精湛，布日古德擅长单色抽象画，尽管风格迥异，他们在西方绘画风格的运用和中国精神文化的表达方面惊人地相似。

杜新健以其纯熟演绎人体结构和风景画而闻名，其中不乏向马格里特等欧洲超现实主义大师致敬之作。而在他的视觉世界里反复运用鱼这一符号与其他生物形成对比，充满佛教哲学的意味。同样地，布日古德的表现手法不禁让人联想到“西方抽象艺术之王”马勒维奇和罗斯科，而他表达的却是中国深厚的道、禅、佛精神。在此次独一无二的双人展中我们将会发现，东西方在文化的交流中并不扮演既定的角色。这是一场持续进行的有机互动，多种艺术特性正在不断涌现。

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.
