Oriental spiritual painting is a form of artistic expression created by Mr. Wu Keyang. The painting style is spiritual and rarefied. With a unique perspective and artistic language, it presents the birth of the universe, the origin of life, and the current awareness and perception of each life. It explores the subtle relationship between all things in the universe and human beings, thereby inducing viewers to return to their innermost thoughts, and is unique in exploring contemporary spiritual aesthetics.
It is not only the pursuit of "vitality and artistic appeal" and the spirit of Eastern culture, but also Mr. Wu's expression of spirituality and in-depth reflection on the ultimate existence of life. As Kant said: " Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing wonder and awe—the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me."
Western art forms and Eastern cultural consciousness

吴先生运用西方绘画艺术形式表达东方思想文化和意识。正如荣格用西方哲学体系(逻辑学)和语言诠释东方道学经典《太乙金华录》,这种探索建立在东西方艺术哲学观的融汇上。在荣格前,很少有西方思想家把东方哲学讲清楚,荣格是把东西方思想融汇贯通的第一人。这也是东方灵画的核心宗旨所在——用西方人看得懂的油画艺术来呈现东方文化哲学和艺术美学。在这方面,吴先生是第一个用西方的思维方式和艺术绘画语言,表达和呈现东方传统思想文化的艺术家,一笔一划、一个色彩、一个造型都在呈现东方传统文化的思辨与优美。
Tao operates naturally, harmony between man and nature
Mr. Wu's paintings are deeply influenced by the ideas of Laozhuang, emphasizing that Tao operates naturally, harmony between man and nature. He blends into nature, coexists with everything, shares the melodies of life, is self-conscious as an artist, and uses Western oil paint to express the essence of Eastern culture. Mr. Wu believes painting in one and one in painting. From one to consciousness, from consciousness to spirit, and from painting to appearance; for example, to draw a stone, one needs to study the nature of things and realize its aura. His view of painting originates from Chuang Tzu's "On the Equality of Things", "All things and words in the world can be regarded equally and there is no need to argue intensely, one just needs to abide by the Tao." as well as Wang Yangming's thought of "Study things to acquire knowledge". Comprehend the origin of all things, feel the ravish of spirituality, and use oil paint to present the charm of dynamic.

Equal vipassana of movement and stillness, vitality and artistic appeal

Mr. Wu's oriental spiritual painting is rooted in the long-standing traditional oriental cultural philosophy, which emphasizes "equal vipassana of movement and stillness" and "vitality and artistic appeal". The movement and stillness of things are relative, movement is stillness, and stillness is movement, just as "The Tao gave birth to One, One gave birth to Two." ("Tao Te Ching"), Two is yin and yang (heaven and earth), "heaven is pure and earth is turbid, heaven is active and earth is calm" ("Sutra of Pure and Calm"). Mr. Wu uses artwork image to present, people can see the source of movement and flowing energy from static pictures, allowing movement and stillness to blend in the picture, showing the aesthetic concept of "equal vipassana of movement and stillness".
