The Abstract Expressionism Oriental

The oriental abstract world created by Zhu Dequn, which is a crossing point between the culture ofeast and west, breaks the isolated state from east art to west art, and becomes a very significant link in theeast and west art chain. The abstract drawing of Zhu Dequn gives an obvious description for the traditionaleast spirits on his view, and comparing with the aimless depicting in drawing of west abstract art, his worksconstruct a condition of getting with will and peaceful surpassing, which obtains more east cultureconnotation. Painters refine “peace” and “harmony” from east philosophy to achieve surpassing fromnervousness to thought exchanging with nature. The connotation of east philosophy respects “ultimatehappiness” and “top happiness”, and its realm is spirit liberation and combination of nature and people,which emphasizes the harmony between nature and people, and promotes combination of two arts.This paper talks about the topic of the representation of china’s art tradition and spirits by westabstract drawing in Zhu Dequn art with the point of penetration of east abstract. Starting from the abstractimagery, the first chapter analyzes the relationship between east culture and Zhu’s abstract drawing, andtalks about how he integrates east art into his abstraction. The second chapter depicts the effect of easttraditional culture to Zhu’s abstraction in the direction of his art drawing style from the art cultivation,knowledge structure, and art history. Based on traditional culture, Zhu Dequn uses philosophy, esthetic,traditional drawing, Buddhism, Taoism, and yin-yang and five elements, to improve the connotation of theabstract drawing. Then the chapter talks about the poem imagery and east color conception in his drawing,which gives a way to understand the relationship between east traditional culture and Zhu’s abstractrepresentation; this realizes the creation and syncretizing of east and west culture. The third chapterdescribes the relationship between Zhu’s art thought and the modern Chinese art, as well as the art spirit inhis drawing. The new surveillance on china’s modern art arising by Zhu Dequn when he injects east artspirit into his drawing, brings the inspiration of his art notion of east-west combination for modern china’sdrawings.The conclusion of this paper does not mean that every artist of abstract representing has theappropriate role to represent the east spirits, however, the full art experience of Zhu Dequn provides an evidence for that china’s traditional culture spirits make much sense and play an important role in modernart.
