Gu Yuan - Shan Shui
In Chinese cultural symbolism and reference to place form, shan (Mandarin for 'hill' or 'mountain') kindles one to the mountainous regions surrounding the highlands of Tibet, and shui ('water' or 'river') to Jiangnan, with its graceful, splendid rivers south of the Yangtze in eastern China.
Gu Yuan's collection features 28 abstract oil paintings based on the dual subjects of Tibet and Jiangnan, representing a dialogue between the contrasting and complementary elements of shan and shui. Having grown up amongst the great mountains and rivers of China's northeast, his fascination with Tibet and Jiangnan is a spiritual return to dreams and an escape from the jitter and folie of city life. Each is in its own, a world of great evocation and beauty.
Just as traditional Shan-shui painting is a vehicle of philosophy, being an object for the viewer's mind rather than an open window for the eye, Gu Yuan's work is an interplay between time and space, movement and stillness, yin and yang.

Our first issue of new magazine, Indigo is out! It had already been circulated in most tertiary institutions, shopping malls and will be up on news stands this week. On this first issue, we featured The Finger Players in their production, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and we are lucky to get some "raw" rehearsal pictures of the show and convert it to a comic strip. You can check it out on the magazine at only $2.
On this first issue, we only had a one-page cover story on the arts scene, we
hope to cover more events in the future but we cannot do this without YOUR help.
(I mean you, you and all of you here in the arts scene). So, if you have an
event, exhibition, performance, please update us.
