INTRODUCTORY ARTICLE

       Poetry is the experiences and emotions of life, processed through an artistic soul.  Without living, without suffering, without joy, there would be no poetry.  Wallace Stevens claimed that he wrote poetry to help people live their lives, and the poet Xueyi writes for the same reason.  Her words are both inspirational and motivational.  To understand the poet is to understand her poetry, and to understand her poetry helps one to better understand their own life experience.

 

       The poems of Xueyi are illuminated through the artistic hand of Zencat.  A renowned ceramic artist, Zencat read the poems of Xueyi and heard the story of her life, and was inspired to create ceramic works that served as tangible images of Xueyi’s writings and experiences.  Zencat’s career as a ceramic artist began in 1988, when she began working with the medium.  In 1994, she was the first artist in China to receive an independent scholarship awarded by the French National art Foundation to work in France with a local artist.  She has exhibited in France and Italy, and won an award at a show in Florence, Italy.  However, Zencat did not devote herself consistently to ceramics because she felt that she was still a ‘student’ of life and was therefore not ready to devote herself fully to the medium.  When she met and heard Xueyi’s story, she felt she had ‘graduated’ and was ready to devote herself completely to working in ceramics.  Zencat, who is also an author, believes that art must not be merely commercial, but must be used for a higher purpose – to speak truth, and to tell stories that need to be told.  Xueyi’s story inspires her as something worthy of the devotion of art because it speaks of sorrow giving way to hope. 

 

It is both Xueyi’s story, and the story of China.  Indeed, it is the story of humanity.  The exhibit is dedicated to Mothers, and to Mother China.

 

       The poems Zencat illustrates with her ceramic works were written in Xueyi’s youth.  Born in a remote area of Northeast China to a life of privation, the young Xueyi lived with her family, and found happiness largely in the nature around her and within her fertile imagination.  At the age of 7, Xueyi began to create poetry.  Her poems then were sung she did not attend school until the age of 11.  In Xueyi’s young life, one finds the symbols and themes in Zencat’s current blue and white porcelain works based upon Xueyi’s poetry: a tent, leaves, birds, stars, flowers, a mirror, books, slippers, a spatula, pillow, thermos and red fruit balls (tanghulu).

      

Flowers and leaves are important images from Xueyi’s young life.  Xueyi’s mother suffered from the sporadic appearance of inner demons, and at these times, would withdraw from the world.  Xueyi’s mother would disappear into the forest to live in a tent for extended periods of time, wrestling in solitude with her despair.  Xueyi would then abandon school to look for her mother, searching in the forest surrounded by wild flowers and grass for the tent where her mother hid, waiting for her young daughter to lead her back home.  Due to her mother’s disappearances, Xueyi’s school experience was inconsistent.  She did, however, love book as a child.  Some of her fondest memories stem from the making of books of poetry in her childhood, where her own first poetry book entitled Childhood River published in 2000, and Zencat thus portrays books in her porcelain works to portray their importance in Xueyi’s young life.

 

       But Xueyi’s life was also one of privation, represented by the newspapers and mirrors in Zencat’s works.  As a child, Xueyi had no mirror in which to see herself, and she had no newspapers to read.  These two things – newspapers and mirrors – symbolize the longing and desire for knowledge of both herself and the world around her that Xueyi felt as a child.  Her desire to know more, to see more of the world, burned within her young heart until she was moved to do something about it.

 

       To illustrate Xueyi’s desire to see and experience more of the world, Zencat uses the image of slippers in her work.  The story behind this is both charming and poignant.  In 1997, Xueyi went to Beijing and stayed in the student dormitory of a school. She picked up a pair of slippers that her classmate abandoned, as she had no money to buy shoes. Therefore, she could go to see the fountain in front of a hotel. However, she was rejected by the hotel when she was invited by a friend to have dinner in the hotel, because the hotel stating that one could not come in without proper dress.

 

       The spatula is another powerful image from Xueyi’s life.  Because of her mother’s incapacitation, Xueyi had to begin cooking for the family at the age of 8. Bird and stars are symbols of creativity, joy and hope. The image of a bird on a star represents the motivation in your heart to seek joy and to create beauty in life.

 

       Another interesting image in Zencat’s works is the travel bag with a zipper.  These bags were commonly used by people of Xueyi’s parents’ generation when they left their hometown.  Inside they would place all of the family possessions – not gold and silver, but glasses, toothbrushes, a sweater, umbrella, some eggs and a cup.  In the porcelain travel bag, Zencat has placed a story about Xueyi’s train trip to Beijing.  Leaving the mountainous region of her family, Xueyi travelled for a long time beyond the mountains, past the place where the Great Wall stretches in to the sea, to reach the outskirts of Beijing.  When she arrived, she saw flowers blooming and thought ‘I will stop here’.  On the sides of the bags are the names of the places she stopped – up to and including 798.  It is interesting to note that one of the travel bags has a broken handle.  It represents those parts of our home, of our past, that we can’t take with us when we leave, but that we can’t really leave behind or forget.  The travel bags also represent New China – everyone is on a journey, and they can’t take the China of the past with them, though they can hold it in their memories.

      

       In each of Zencat’s and Xueyi’s collaborative works, one is touched by the intersection of the poet’s past with the artist’s present and our own emotional experience.  Indeed, these artists remind us what art is really here to do – to help us go beyond materialism and re-connect with our spirituality, thereby helping us to better live our lives.  More than simple amusement, art is essential to life.  To remind us of this, Zencat uses the ancient symbol meaning ‘For the Emperor’ in her work, a symbol which denotes sophistication and high quality and stands for freedom, tolerance, integrity, hope, bravery, and wisdom.  But these works are for us – for the emperor in our hearts.  We need it to remind us that life in this modern world should be more than mere accumulation – it should be an exercise in discovering the profound, the poignant, and the beautiful.

Artist Statement by Xiaochun Ma

 

I enjoy very much one of the poems by the acclaimed Indian Poet Rabindranath Tagore: “Bird flies over the sky without leaving any trace; but it rejoices as it flies.” How apt and beautiful scenery it describes. In reality, people live in a hurry and take nothing with them when they pass away.

 

Photographs are NOT merely “recordings”. The function of photography is to record the traces of life, to mix and harmonize them with whatever surrounds life, and to portray the photographer’s personal touch and feelings by his own visual expression..

 

Traditionally, photography is regarded as an art of capturing instant images. Nowadays, there are more dimensions to photographic presentations and definitions. For example, one could put together different instant images to reflect the surpassing time and space, and to express the continuance of time, which is employed by the same techniques we see in movies.

 

To capture and show purely ancient and past images may be depressing, but to reflect only modern elements might be considered shallow. A city like Beijing is best approached by mixing the ancient with the modern, by injecting fresh modern elements into its rich traditions. Beijing is an ancient city with its modern vigor and energies.

 

Fine quality photography should keep pace with and speak for Time and Place.

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 Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Palestine, Peru, Russia, and Spain, as well as in the United States. 

 

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 Credit Mutuel Ocean

 

“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 >

 

Bao Pei’s paintings remind me that everything changes completely as time flies.

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.

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 CeramicCigarette BoxKissing 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.

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 CeramicCigarette BoxKissing 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.

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 Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Palestine, Peru, Russia, and Spain, as well as in the United States. 

 

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.

                           2008 HENRI GUEGUEN PAINTING SOLO EXHIBITION BEIJING

                                                 A TRIBUTE TO WOMAN

Opening reception: June 28, 2008, 1500hrs to 1800hrs

Exhibition dates: June 29, to July 17, 2008, 1100hrs to 1800hrs

Curator: Catherine Cheng & Xueyi Fan

 

"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 Credit Mutuel Ocean

 

“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 >

 

Bao Pei’s paintings remind me that everything changes completely as time flies.

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.

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 CeramicCigarette BoxKissing 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.

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 CeramicCigarette BoxKissing 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.
