kiwisual Artistic Stones

Traditionally painting is done on a two-dimensional canvas. A stone is three-dimensional; so is a Buddha sculpture. A three-dimensional Buddha is presented on a three-dimensional stone through painting; I am looking into the relationship between the experience and boundaries of witnessing.

The two Buddhism-themed stones are application and contemplation of Zen in today’s life. How shall Zen inspire life under a rash social context nowadays?

Born in Yangjiang Guangdong 1980, Du Zhongjian graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 2005. He now works and lives in Guangzhou. His work is a philosophical reflection of the world.
