《蜕变 • 衍生》- 史无前例的中西灵魂大碰撞
第一部分：
-
主题: 蜕变 • 衍生 — 追古溯今，跨越时空，融合中西，探索多维度艺术美学。

艺术家：Sibylle Schwarz （德国）, 赵宏 （中国）

理念：融合汉字书法与西方超现实主义；以文房四宝为创作媒介，以西方绘画哲学诠释、演绎中国5000年汉字文化；推介和扩展文房四宝在世界人文学科中的艺术价值，探索21世纪新的艺术形式，充分演绎东西方艺术哲学。 这一融合的理念与战略完全符合我本人所创建的“笔墨驰主义”艺术构想之宗旨。
-
价值：汉字造就中国！图画是全人类文字发明的基础，汉字正是在此基础上人类最伟大的发明！汉字除了具备语言功能外，从艺术角度看，汉字还是一种图形艺术，一种可被西方艺术接受并钟爱的独特的图形艺术。汉字成为超现实主义绘画创作的源泉，并据此创造出新的艺术形式，真是十分罕见和独特，这在东西方艺术融合中的世界绘画历史中十分罕见。《蜕变 • 衍生》 (原“中西合璧，天人合一”) , 由策展人约翰 • 摩根教授 （阎伟红）做学术主导，并与德国艺术大师Sibylle Schwarz女士和著名书法家赵宏教授三人的跨学科学术研究项目。他们认为探索东方艺术价值，发掘华夏5000年文明，并与西方艺术相融汇，将是21世纪全球艺术发展的大趋势。21世纪是看东方的时代，在这一看东方大趋势中也将为每个西方艺术家的艺术创作带来最佳机遇与美好未来。
谈到看东方，回顾西方艺术史，19世纪至20世纪，西方艺术曾掀起一阵看东方艺术的热潮，如艺术大师梵高的油画“Janoaiserie: The Flowering Plum Tree, 1887”来自日本绘画与汉字的影响，在此幅作品中他大胆模仿绘画汉字、美国艺术大师Georgia O'Keeffe女士的“Blue Lines, 1916”等均从东方艺术中启迪颇多。如果说早期还主要是关注日本艺术，进入20世纪中期以后，欧洲艺术家开始转向东方古国 — 中国。受到中国艺术影响最典型的还有两位美国艺术大师有Pat Steir女士的“Study of Epitaph Painting II, 1996”中的中国碑帖与篆书的风格；Brice Marden的“Couplet IV, 1988-89”中的突出的书法线条的痕迹, 以及还有我们不得不说的比利时著名画家、诗人和作家亨利-米修 (Henri Michaux/1899~1984)的超现实主义汉字 “Henri Michaux Movements”。
德国著名艺术家西蓓莉 • 舒尔茨（Sibylle Schwarz），早年德国柏林大学艺术学院任教，一位超现实主义、概念主义设计师、未来派和DNA艺术家。她超越了上述的西方艺术大师，在近三年多时间里，与阎教授合作，成为了西方艺术史上唯一使用文房四宝并以汉字书法作为创作基础和源泉的西方艺术家。这次的展览主题是由美籍华人阎伟红（约翰 • 摩根）教授学术指导下的”中西合璧，天人合一“汉字与西方抽象绘画跨学科研究项目的首次亮相。 舒尔茨女士是一位全能的天才艺术大师，她的绘画媒介与理念跨越了几百年绘画史技法，此次展览包括舒尔茨女士与著名书法家赵宏教授近五年来合作的汉字书法剪贴艺术(cut-outs)、汉字六体书体的拼贴艺术(collage)、汉字六体书超现实主义刺绣艺术（Embroidary）、六体书超现实主义邮递艺术绘画（mail art）、六体书超现实主义一笔画(one-line drawing)等等系列作品。（汉字六体书包括：甲骨文、金文、小篆、隶书、楷书和行草书）
中国著名书法家赵宏，首都师范大学书法教授，从事书法文字研究创作和教育近30馀年。近年来他在华盛顿世界银行总部、联合国以及美国20多所大学巡讲中国书法；他与美籍华人阎伟红 （约翰 • 摩根），世界著名书籍装帧设计师刘晓翔合作的《汉字六体书艺术》获得2014年“中国最美的书”，新闻出版总署出版工程经典大奖，5000年第一部以西方视角解读中国五千年汉字艺术巨著。

"Erya" and the Fish Character – The Transmutation
"Erya" is an ancient Chinese encyclopedia dating back to the 5th century BC. During ancient times, there were many kinds of fish characters; these different styles of "fish" have been innovatively combined and interpreted in both Western surrealistic paintings and in Chinese characters. The very different artistic styles now complement each other as Eastern and Western aesthetic philosophy, traditions, and practices integrate in the modern world.
In this artwork, there are a total of 38 different style of Chinese fish characters of “Erya” done by famous Chinese calligraphy master Dr. Hong Zhao, and these characters were aggressively interpreted by German artist, SIbylle Schwarz in one-line drawings in surrealism using the four "Chinese treasures" (Chinese Xuan paper, Chinese ink, Chinese brush and inkstone)

"LOOKING EAST - THE ART WORLD IN THE 21ST CENTURY"
TRANSMUTATION-TRACING THE PAST, DRAWING THE FUTURE
Nothing like this has ever happened before in the realm of World Art History.
21st Shanghai Art Fair, 2017/11-02-2017 ~ 11-05-2017
Bryce Reagan INC, USA
Booth #: E193
PART ONE:
1. Theme: TRANSMUTATION & DERIVATION - TRACING THE PAST, DRAWING THE FUTURE
-
Artist: Sibylle Schwarz (Germany), Zhao Hong (China)
-
Curator: Weihong Yan (USA)
2. The Concept: Integrating Chinese characters with surrealism; utilizing traditional Chinese "four treasures" (Chinese xuan paper, Chinese ink, Chinese brush, and inkstone) as source and medium to interpret 5,000 years of ancient Chinese culture in Western philosophical aesthetic language; and to explore the Chinese four treasures' value in art, as well as explore new art forms, fully merging the Eastern into the Western art philosophy.
3. The Value: Chinese characters, the making of China! Pictographic writing is the basis of all human writings of all mankind. Chinese characters are one of greatest inventions of mankind, and are unique among all the languages on our planet in being continuously used from prehistory till now. In addition to semantic function, from the artistic point of view Chinese characters can also be seen as expressive imagery, which can be easily accepted and loved by Western artists and non-artists as a unique art form. Meanwhile, Chinese characters have become the source of surrealist paintings; accordingly a phenomenal new form of art has happened. To explore the 5,000 year-old Chinese civilization, and to mix Western art and Chinese art, could be the art trend of the future.
In the 19th century to the 20th century, successive waves of Western artists have sought the future of Western art in the Far East. Early on, the focus was Japan, but through the twentieth century many turned also to China. Van Gogh's oil painting "Japonaiserie: The Flowering Plum Tree, 1887" with strong elements, and style of imitation of Chinese characters. The American painter Georgia O'Keeffe's "Blue Lines, 1916" represented Chinese landscape style in her drawing, and other western artists influenced by Chinese art are Pat Steir ("Study of Epitaph Painting II, 1996" in the style of Chinese rubbings and seal) and Brice Marden ("Couplet IV, 1988-89" in the traces of prominent calligraphy lines). Here I must mention the Belgian surrealist painter, poet and writer Henry Michaux (1899 ~ 1984) and his "Henri Michaux Mouvements" which were influenced by Chinese characters.
Sibylle Schwarz, a many-sided German surrealist, conceptist and DNA artist, "the queen of one-line drawing" of the world, has aggressively surpassed the above-mentioned artists, and became the only Western artist who used the Chinese four treasures to create artworks based on Chinese calligraphy done by Dr. Hong Zhao, the internationally acclaimed Chinese calligrapher. In Sibylle Schwarz’s vivid explanation and interpretation of the complexities of Chinese characters in her own rich surrealistic language with beautiful poetic lines, colors consisting of many figures, and stories that reflect and echo the meaning of each Chinese word in order to modify the theme of each character's meanings in her remarkable artworks. The artworks we will be exhibiting are the surrealist six scripts of Chinese characters "love", surrealist six scripts of Chinese characters "fish" (in mail-art format), Chinese "horse" characters on xuan paper, and so on.
Dr. Zhao Hong, distinguished professor of Chinese calligraphy of Capital Normal University, China, has been lecturing internationally on six inscriptions in the evolution of Chinese writing over 5,000 years. He co-authored the publication “The Brush Speaks the Civilization: the Art of Six Scripts of Chinese Writing," which became China's "Best Book of the Year 2014", the 1st Book of the six scripts of art from 5,000 years of China's history.
