2025年11月28日，一场旨在重新定义“抽象”艺术东方内涵的特展——《抽象向东》将在敦煌国际会展中心正式启幕。本次展览由艺术粮仓主办，南京艺术学院美术馆联合主办，并获得了X美术馆的学术支持，展期将持续至2026年1月26日。
 

展览由张涛策展，邵亦杨担任学术主持，汇聚了梁铨、朱一虹、马可鲁、梁铨、曹吉冈、马路、童振刚等二十余位重要艺术家的力作。展览并非简单呈现形式上的抽象，而是试图超越西方现代主义中形式自律的框架，回归东方哲学与艺术逻辑的源头，探寻一种根植于东方文化根性创作方法论。
 

策展人张涛在展览中系统阐述了“东方抽象精神体系”的五个核心维度：强调流动生命能量的“气”的场域、接纳自然变化的“时间”参与、追求“物我合一”的体悟、注重“留白”的想象空间，以及根植于“农耕文明”的诗意。这表明，展览所探讨的“东方性”并非表面符号的堆砌，而是内化于创作逻辑中的精神气质。艺术家如同引导者，在敦煌这片蕴藏着深厚历史与自然之力的特定“场地”中，让天地精神得以显形。
 

《抽象向东》力图向世界展示，在中国广袤的大地上，最前卫的艺术实践恰恰可能与最古老的智慧相连。它旨在梳理一个以“道-气-心-象-意-境”为哲学内核的宏大体系，呈现其如何贯穿于当代创作中。本次展览不仅是一次艺术展示，更是一次深度的文化对话，邀请全球观众共同洞察不同文明如何通过艺术探索人类共同的精神世界，见证东方智慧为当代抽象艺术带来的独特而深邃的价值。

On November 28, 2025, a special exhibition aimed at redefining the Eastern essence of "abstract" art—"Abstraction Toward the East"—will officially open at the Dunhuang International Convention and Exhibition Center. Organized by Art Granary and co-hosted by the Art Museum of Nanjing University of the Arts, with academic support from the X Museum, the exhibition will run until January 26, 2026.

Curated by Zhang Tao and with Shao Yiyang serving as academic chair, the exhibition brings together works by over twenty prominent artists, including Liang Quan, Zhu Yihong, Ma Kelu, Cao Jigang, Ma Lu, and Tong Zhengang. Rather than merely presenting formal abstraction, the exhibition seeks to transcend the framework of formal autonomy in Western modernism, returning to the origins of Eastern philosophy and artistic logic to explore a creative methodology rooted in the inherent nature of Eastern culture.

In the preface, curator Zhang Tao systematically elaborates on the five core dimensions of the "Eastern Abstract Spiritual System": the realm of "Qi" emphasizing flowing life energy, the participation of "time" that embraces natural changes, the pursuit of experiential realization in the "unity of object and self," the imaginative space emphasized through "blankness," and the poetry rooted in "agrarian civilization." This indicates that the "Eastern essence" explored in the exhibition is not a superficial accumulation of symbols but a spiritual temperament internalized within the creative logic. Like guides, the artists allow the spirit of heaven and earth to manifest in the specific "site" of Dunhuang, a place imbued with profound history and natural power.

"Abstraction Toward the East" strives to demonstrate to the world that, across the vast land of China, the most avant-garde artistic practices may be intimately connected with the oldest wisdom. It aims to delineate a grand system with "Dao-Qi-Heart-Image-Intention-Realm" as its philosophical core, showcasing how it permeates contemporary creation. This exhibition is not merely an artistic display but also a profound cultural dialogue, inviting global audiences to gain insight into how different civilizations explore humanity’s shared spiritual world through art, and to witness the unique and profound value that Eastern wisdom brings to contemporary abstract art.
