A calligrapher, Tan Kaizhi transverses centuries, technically, historically, philosophically and aesthetically through his discovery of an intimate connection between calligraphy and tai chi. Tang’s work is solidly grounded in his scholarship. However, multiple layering of various mineral pigments, including gold and silver, obfuscates and deconstructs the calligraphy that was initially laid down to create abstract compositions containing properties in brushwork, color, concept that recombine traditional Chinese painting in non figurative, contemplative and fresh ways.The exhibition opens on December 8th, 2007 - January 31st, 2008 at Beijing.
