Bian Hong: New Abstraction Calligraphy
Chinese American Arts Council/Gallery 456 is pleased to present Bian Hong鈥檚 solo exhibition New Abstraction Calligraphy 鈥� Calligraphy and Brushwork, on view March 31 through April 21, 2023.
This exhibition presents Bian Hong鈥檚 contemporary ink paintings and new abstract calligraphy from 1995-2022. Selected new works from her recent decade of creation will be on display, showing the dialogue between contemporary calligraphy, her Zen meditation practice, calligraphy brushworks and personal expression.
鈥淏ian Hong鈥檚 work is exactly what I call 鈥榗alligraphy imagery鈥� in the article, unique in the tide of contemporary calligraphy. She skillfully combines two Chinese characters for a square and grim abstract square into a unique new ink art. In Chinese calligraphy characters are written with dry brushes. Chinese characters basically have no recognizable meaning, but they are very devoted to the east spiritual experience of brush and ink. The so-called 鈥榗heng huai guan dao鈥� is a unique writing in this unique space.鈥� 鈥� Liu Xiaochun, renowned Chinese art theorist and critic, 2019.
