德国艺术家爱卡特自2002年以来先后四次来到中国，他每次都喜欢骑着自行车漫无边际的转悠。长城、故宫、天津的老街、北京的四合院。。。。。。这里的一切如此这般的刺激着他的神经末梢，激活并丰富了他的创作灵感。或许是一抹琉璃瓦的亮光，亦或是一扇庙门的斑驳，都有可能成为爱卡特笔下的情调或风景。他往往在画布钱一站就是十多个小时，对于爱卡特而言，“站着”就是最好的活着！就是对生命最崇高的礼赞。
他的作品构图饱满、意境深邃、气韵沉郁而生机勃发，情脉繁复而流变有序，在红与黑的强烈对比后面，弥漫着一种令人亢奋而又忐忑不安的神秘。不止如此，这种神秘还在无限的虚化中吞噬、扩张，以致生命不堪重负，在优雅的轻吟浅唱中慢慢倾斜、、、、、爱卡特不仅画中国主题的画，他还要中国人买得起他的作品。一方面爱卡特以其抽象的绘画语言表达着他对中国人的感动，另一方面他又以独特的方式回报着感动他的中国人。
中国当代水墨艺术家冯钟云九十年代初毕业于中央美术学院中国画系，水墨作品多次在国际上获得艺术奖。冯钟云的艺术实践在写实与抽象两极之间游走，展示出画家驾驭形式的天赋。虽然画家对于传统与现代艺术表述形式有着深刻的理解，但是，支持画家作品的内核却是它们的内容。
从传统性质的作品看，冯钟云表达了一种温厚的审美情趣。接受过系统学院教育的作者，不满足于传统笔墨趣味的“技术演练”，而是时刻将注意力放在形式探索方面。几何图案似的构成效果，让我们联想到西方现代艺术的形式。然而，画家并没有弃绝传统，而是将其融入现代艺术的构成之中。在温润而厚重之中，不乏热情与奔放。其中，对笔墨的解悟，对媒介材质性能的深透把握，是形成冯钟云艺术风格特征的重要因素。这个特征使他有别于很多照搬西方现代形式主义绘画的当代艺术家的作品。
通过对传统笔墨与西方现代艺术形式的整合，冯钟云的抒情温厚而激越。康定斯基说过：“艺术家必须因感而发，有情可抒，因为对形式的驾驭并非目的，而是使形式与内在含义的相适应。”可以说，温厚的激越，既是冯钟云作品的形式特征，又是其内在的精神特质。

Ekkehard Stoevesand, a German Expressionist Artist, has been to come to China for the fifth times since 2002; loving to wander around town riding his favorite bicycle. Everything he experience in China, like the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the old street of Tianjing, as well as the traditional courtyards tucked away in the Hutongs, stimulates his nerve and inspires his creativity. Inspiration comes from such beautiful moments as the light reflecting off the old rooftop tiles, or the shadow from a temple door. Capturing such moments on canvas becomes the arduous task, as he might stand in front of the canvas for hour on end before painting, these long hours standing are a small price to pay for the privilege of seizing a rare emotion; for him, the process represents the utmost salute to life.
The structure of his painting is abundant, with in-depth conception, full of profundity and liveliness; the emotion uncovered from his painting is complicated but change is orderly; the contrast of color employed in his works, such as black and red, is both uplifting and depressing, it’s about the uncertainty. Furthermore, the mystery is filled with metaphor, expanding till expression is almost unbearable, then sloping under an elegantly soft melody……
Most of this exhibition’s paintings are about China-motif, additionally the artist want his paintings to be more affordable to Chinese collectors; by doing so, the artist would like to express his affection to the Chinese, expressing his gratitude to the people who inspire him.
Feng Zhongyun, a Chinese Contemporary Ink Wash Painting Artist, graduated from the Chinese Painting Faculty of Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in early 1990’s, and has won numerous international art awards. Through his artistic experiments, he has been walking between the realistic and the abstract, delivering a unique talent in pushing the form. Although he has a profound understanding of both traditional and contemporary artistic expression, his pursuit of a vision places his style in its own world.
The deep comprehension of brush ink, as well as the proficient grasp of the media, is the most important factor for Feng to form his artistic language. This character differs from most of other Chinese Contemporary artists, who generally imitate Modern Western Art.
