Centers and Borders: From ABC to XYZ
In the artworld, “center and borders” references “centers and margins.” Such ethnocentric thinking validates colonialism and purports that “the West” is the prevailing model. However, such thinking is highly outdated.
In the New Millennium, we have finally come to realize that we live in a world that is highly diverse, and this diversity has permeated consciousness in all spheres. As the world becomes smaller through trade and technology, we begin to realize that there are many “centers.”
Thus, “centers and borders” should be viewed from a perspective that does not position one’s nations art over another. Hopefully, we can interact as equals in an encounter of “centers.” The same applies to the artworld. There is not “one artworld” but “many artworlds.”
The artists from the Americas in this exhibition are all part of an art collective known as the “Artnauts” from Boulder, Colorado (ABC) that was formed by a group of artists from the University of Colorado in 1997 to exhibit art throughout the world. Thus far, the Artnauts have had exhibitions in
It is in the spirit of the occasion of the Beijing Olympics that a group of artists from the Americas –including the United States and Mexico-- join a group of Chinese artists to visually address “centers and borders” in an exhibition at the XYZ Gallery in the 798 Dashanzi Art District in Beijing.

"I am drawn to Asian culture, which reflects through its simplicity, the strength of an image in a symbolic context. My pursuit of the aesthetic reunites me with my roots: the sea, a generating force of shapes and transparencies. My brush converses with the canvas in my workshop, and I enjoy the presence of paintings which are in the process of drying. I look at the rust <trophies> and the palettes of pigment, which take me to far-off places: Russian Blue, China Red, Bengali Pink, Neapolitan Yellow, Veronese Green….This is effervescence of my creativity."
by Henri Gueguen
“The man is engaging, and he paints for others and the pleasure of the exchange
The craftsman himself is not without substance;
He himself creates his own material and colors;
He works non-stop.
The artist is superb, and one can only be seduced by the movement, the composition, and the harmony of his paintings.
If indeed <woman is the future of man>, then Henri Gueguen is a man with a future.”
by Bernard Daurenson
Managing Director of
“In Henri’s current work, he would like to express his homage to female celebrity of the world, including the British Icon, as well as in the fields of cinema, haute couture and music. His art combines his particularity of elongated women with the image of prestigious personality. According to Henri, it is because Woman is the future of Man. Henri Guéguen creates his own paint with natural pigments, which give a living and vivid aspect to his paintings. In appreciation of Asian Culture, Henri offers us a wide range of stylish women with his art.”

I CHOOSE MY WORK
I indulged myself in painting when I was a kid,
Finally I find my own secret garden
I wanted to blossom and reap fruit at here
Clay dances with wash ink
Acrylic creates a space
Every work comes from my heart
That experiences the rapidly changed world
To discover the surprise in life and the joy after surprise
To enjoy the creation and my study
I wish my works bring all of my friends
A piece of joy, and a feeling as well

<WHEN MEMORY EXISTS STILL >
As hours and minutes rush by, all joy and sadness in life melts into silence;
and fate is gone with wind.
One day, we may discover that the effect of the outside world upon on us has faded.
And what our hearts have longed for is still within sight ——
<Childhood Sky>、<Hometown Colors>、<Spring Flower in the Rain>、<Windy Forest>,
Forgotten memories linger like an endless song, always singing in solitude.
They bring us the warmth of a mother’s smile;
They bring us images of ourselves from the past;
They teach us When Memory Exists Still.
Our experiences are that to which we must always bid farewell;
The more steps we take along life’s path, the closer we come to our soul;
Eventually, we will find the road back home.
Memories, combined with fresh insight, are transformed into pear flowers
by the colors in Bao Pei’s paintings.
Her art tells us that,
Passing through a pear garden, turning toward the spring waters,
Home is close to us whenever we see bamboo;
So is Memory.

Dongzi graduated from Beijing Art & Design Academy in 1988. After graduation, she ran a ceramic studio for five years. In 1993, she established the 1st Ceramic Art Center in Beijing. From 1993 onward, she conducted study tours of traditional Chinese ceramic art in many Chinese provinces including Shanxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xizang & Hebei.

These books record her steps along the way as she studied folk art and made ceramics. The designs on her blue and white ceramic works are strongly influenced by Chinese folk traditions.
Always meditating on the birthplace of her soul, Dongzi continues unceasingly to create her art and to live her life joyfully. Everything in this world seems to her as the trappings of her fairy tales. The majority of her work is dedicated to the memory of Universe, meant for God to see, so she is not worried about what her works look like, where they end up, or to whom they belong.

Oil Painting, Installation Art, Ceramics, etc.
Zencat Invites You
To enjoy her collections from a Secret Garden
In the winter of Shanghai
Dongzi lives her life like a migratory bird; her heart leads her South when the wild goose flies overhead. She originally planned to go to Dali, but fate brought her to an old, Spanish-style house located at 110 Fenyang Road in Shanghai. With her 18-month old daughter in tow, she started her most recent creative project in the winter of 2007. During the last three-months, she completely immersed herself in her surroundings. In her collection, you will discover blue and white ceramic blossoms on canvas, a cello with a new face standing in the garden, poetry written on cloth and hanging on the wall, ceramic fish chatting in a bathtub, and more …
“Art can brighten our ordinary lives;
Creation enables us to return home to our freedom”

BIO: ZEN CAT DONGZI:
Original Name: WANG Dong, born in Beijing
Dongzi graduated from Beijing Art & Design Academy in 1988. After graduation, she ran a ceramic studio for five years. In 1993, she established the 1st Ceramic Art Center in Beijing. From 1993 onward, she conducted study tours of traditional Chinese ceramic art in many Chinese provinces including Shanxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xizang & Hebei. She also conducted international study tours of world folk ceramic art in many countries including Spain, France, Egypt and Nepal. In 1994, she was awarded a scholarship from the French National Art Academy to study and work with French ceramic artists.
In 2000, her blue and white ceramic work Play Chinese Character for Poetry was selected for exhibition at the Faenza International Competition in Italy. From 2001 to 2007, she published numerous books of essays, including Art Garden – the French Woman Who Makes Ceramic,Cigarette Box,Kissing Underneath the Starry Sky of Dali and Love Letters to God. These books record her steps along the way as she studied folk art and made ceramics. The designs on her blue and white ceramic works are strongly influenced by Chinese folk traditions.
Always meditating on the birthplace of her soul, Dongzi continues unceasingly to create her art and to live her life joyfully. Everything in this world seems to her as the trappings of her fairy tales. The majority of her work is dedicated to the memory of Universe, meant for God to see, so she is not worried about what her works look like, where they end up, or to whom they belong.

and fate is gone with wind.
One day, we may discover that the effect of the outside world upon on us has faded.
And what our hearts have longed for is still within sight ——
<Childhood Sky>、<Hometown Colors>、<Spring Flower in the Rain>、<Windy Forest>,
Forgotten memories linger like an endless song, always singing in solitude.
They bring us the warmth of a mother’s smile;
They bring us images of ourselves from the past;
They teach us When Memory Exists Still.
Our experiences are that to which we must always bid farewell;
The more steps we take along life’s path, the closer we come to our soul;
Eventually, we will find the road back home.
Memories, combined with fresh insight, are transformed into pear flowers
by the colors in Bao Pei’s paintings.
Her art tells us that,
Passing through a pear garden, turning toward the spring waters,
Home is close to us whenever we see bamboo;
So is Memory.
