放逐與守望（湯靜評論）

無邊的穿行（葉永青評論）

　　八十年代中後期，顧雄和楊述先後畢業于四川美術學院，與現今備受國際藝壇關注的張曉剛、葉永青等一起，成為中國新潮美術運動西南地區最早且最活躍的藝術家代表。他們擁有敏感的藝術思維和紮實的繪畫功底，參加過當時包括"1988西南現代藝術展"、"1989現代藝術大展"在內的重要藝術活動。正因為出色的創造力，他們得以較早留學海外，並長期浸淫于西方現代藝術發展。然而與中國當代藝術時空上的間離，並未讓他們放棄對藝術理想的追求。多年來，他們以國際化的視野和自傳體的書寫方式,深刻地思考和回應著中西碰撞交融中身份及文化屬性的命題。

　　顧雄旅居加拿大多年。信手拈來的日常生活元素，通過其敏感的觸覺與純熟多樣的藝術形式，言説著尋求文化身份過程中的個人體悟，同時呈現出時代的變遷與特徵；楊述堅持其中國式的塗鴉自敘，在色彩以及形象的元素中游刃有餘。在創造性地對西方現代、後現代藝術進行大膽的轉化的同時，逐漸將傳統繪畫特點交融其中。

　　Upcoming Exhibition at the Beijing Center for the Arts at Legation Quarter

　　Exhibition of “Gu Xiong Yang Shu”

　　Curator: Tang Jing

　　Reception：2008.11.13, 17:00 – 21:00

　　Duration: 2008.11.14 – 2008.12.8, from Tue to Sun, 10:00 – 22:00 (Mondays on appointment only)

　　Address: No.23, Qian Men Dong Da Jie, Dongcheng District, Beijing (the southeast corner of Legation Quarter)

　　In late 1980's, Gu Xiong and Yang Shu have graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in succession. When the '85 New Wave Art Movement swept the southwest China, they devoted themselves into the wave and were deemed as pioneers of the very event together with Zhang Xiaogang and Ye Yongqing who draw the international attentions today. In the 1988 Southwest Art Show and 1989 China /Avant-Garde Art, they exhibited works full of skills and artistic sensitivity. Later that time, both the two went abroad for further education. For about two decades, their exposure towards the advancing of western contemporary art seems to set them far away from the aura of Chinese contemporary art; but it never stumble them from their pursuit of art ideals. For years, the two artists have devoted to carry out artistic practices under the context of cultural conflicts and interactions. It is their cross-cultural attempt and creation that endow them with profound understanding and insight towards the essence of different cultures.

　　Gu Xiong, now identified as a Canada-based multimedia artist with international reputation, has put his cross-cultural experiences, with great consciousness and sensitivity, into his visual languages of symbolizing daily objects to unveil the reality of the era in which the artist has been struggling for his cultural identity. The other artist, Yang Shu，has been always cohesive in his style of doodle following his dramatic treatment of agitate figures and strident colors. Instead of simply copying from the western modernism and postmodernism, he audaciously combines his works inspired by western art and artists with methods of Chinese traditional painting and spirit of its culture.
