The Bay of Fundy

     行走于大西洋沿岸，以我笔纪录所见的芬迪海湾, 潮汐神工鬼斧地塑造了好望石， 它展示着大自然的威力的同时也让我更为它着迷；于是这三年我在夏天写生芬迪，冬天则记录窗的雪景。当我登录纽宾省，见到雪林莽原，洁白而妩媚，寻思“为何不尝试用笔墨刻画如此美景？” 如此一次次地我尝试。以中国古典为主也揉进了西方绘画方式；热情与冷峻，混揉于我的墨中，时而冲突时而和睦，它，就如同我在这块新土地上的新人生。
    在这多事之冬，我有太多的需要表达，有关大西洋，有关季节，有关文化冲突，无论它是纠结还是流畅，来自我与自然的对话；愉悦或忧伤，皆来自我的内心。在这冬季的尽头，约在春天相见！

Classic Chinese painting is very descriptive – with a minimum of color it attempts to capture the spirit of the subject being painted. It is my intention to investigate, from the perspective of a new immigrant and using traditional Chinese painting methods, what time and social changes have wrought upon these compelling sites and structures. it is to not only gain further knowledge and a deeper understanding of what you see

the Historic Sites of  New Brunswick

Scenes along the Saint John River

 I have been painting with ink-wash, the classic Chinese painting approach, to record the landscape of Greater Saint John for its distinctive natural environment.

"To read my painting works and understand their stories, you do not need to  know the Chinese painting language, and do not need to know Chinese characters. What you need is calmness and to walk with me into the landscape what you are familiar with, and then you will be awakened from the soul traveling deep within your memories about maritime natural beauty." -Dan Xu
