HUANG RUI – ZEN SPACE
2018-11-26Huang Rui is widely recognized for his foundational role in the development of post-Cultural Revolution art, as a founding member of the audacious Stars Group, for his early application of Western art concepts– abstract expressionism, cubism, fauvism, to Chinese contemporary art, and as a founder and defender of Beijing’s 798 Art District.
Huang characterizes his art as “determined, deep exploration”, and “Zen Space”, his latest series, as growing from “…a continuous experimentation towards the most essential statement of art”. This body of work takes shape in part through Huang’s consideration of the Confucian order of society and the Taoist order of nature as they are reflected in the hexagrams of the I Ching (Book of Changes) and in Taoist geomancy expressed through classical architecture and the design of scholar’s gardens.
