The tragedy of September 11 profoundly changed me. A foreign student at first, who chose to reside in Boston, until 9/11, I always regarded myself as a sojourner, a guest. But during and after that horrifying tragedy, I felt for the first time that I was an American. I am empathetic with the ethos of America. I feel the pain when a solder dies for this country. I cry with the family members of the fallen solders. It is this feeling that compelled me to choose "Empathy" as the theme of this show. But of course, each artist has total freedom to interpret the meaning of the word. Curator of the show

Liu Tian Wei, An Innovator of Chinese Painting
An extraordinarily talented young artist from Shanghai , Liu held his first solo show in this country at Boston Center for the Art. His work attracted the attention of CCI's Curator and led to this show.

Liu Tian Wei, New Work At Chinese Culture Institute
Liu's deep rooted Chinese training fused with unique personal views and experiences in art resulted in his abstract work which is a marriage of line, form, color, space, rhythm and movement, and the beauty and flavor of Chinese calligraphic gesture. His Oeuvre of that period is imbued with a strong sense of music and lyricism. It generated a great deal of favorable comments from the critics and enthusiasm in the collectors. In his paintings the viewer may find the connection with Chinese art very tenuous. One may think that he has departed completely from his Chinese tradition and entered the main stream of Western modern art. In fact, there is a intrinsic but intangible relation between Liu's oeuvre and traditional Chinese art. Beyond the obvious differences in media and techniques, a deeper layer of difference between Chinese art and Western art is seen in the attitudes of the artists when dealing with human emotions and cosmic problems. Chinese art rarely dwells on agony and despair. Such emotions are always treated with utmost subtlety and control whereas in the West they are exaggerated, even dramatized. Sharing Oswald Spengler's view about the history and cultures of mankind, Liu Tian Wei uses his art to express his sympathy with this German philosopher. The meanings in these works are profound yet the expression is subtle.

Spirit of the Brush, the Relations Between Chinese Painting and Calligraphy
Nowhere in the world has calligraphy so closely connected with painting as it has in China and Japan where Chinese influence is most evident. The Chinese scholars and artists have used the same kind of ink, brush and paper or silk for centuries and the two arts have shared the same aesthetic theories and principles. The two arts have been related since the first century of our era. With the rise of wen-jen hua (literary man's painting or literati painting) in the Sung dynasty the closeness of the tie reached its height. Many famous painters of Sung and subsequent dynasties were excellent calligraphers as well. The qualities of calligraphy are judged by its Ch'i-yun (rhythmic vitality), which has always been the chief desideratum of both calligraphy and painting. It has been generally accepted that training in calligraphy forms the basis for painting. Even today, while Chinese painting is not taught in the schools, calligraphy is a required course from the third grade through senior high. This exhibition, with explanatory text, illustrations and sample art pieces, is intended for educating the viewer about the techniques, materials and shared qualities of the two arts.

Scholars and Pavilions in the Mountains
Paintings by Judith Funkhouser, "I believe tat art comes form solitary contemplation and wondering and I have long been interested in famous hermits, solitary thinkers and wonderers such as Leonardo da Vinci, Matsuo, Basho, HenryDavid Thareau, and certain Chinese scholar painters. I have been very much influenced by the Chinese scholar painter who became reclues and escaped to the mountains rather than serve under corrupt or foreign governments or to avoid the dangers of political intrigues. They painted to express a mood or feeling, putting down an idea or concept quickly, an inspiration of a moment and revealing the artist's true self. They believed that the primary thing in painting was the joy of brush rhythms and that a painting should not be a lavish copy of reality. Allusiveness
and suggestion reflected the intimacy of communication among a small elite of scholars with a similar education, who needed only to hint at a literacy of painterly allusion to be understood. They called thair paintings Silent Poems. They captured certain poetic moment and immortalized them. They workered in ink only and often deliberately used distortions of form and touches of awkwardness. They painted a world to which man belongs but does not dominate. Their paintings are noted for their emptiness and above all knowing when one has said enough." Judith Fundhouser
