About the Talk
Chinese painting and calligraphy are more than visual art forms; they embody rich aesthetic traditions and profound philosophical ideas.
In this talk, Dr. Li Shi Cheng will explore the aesthetics and philosophy of Chinese painting and calligraphy through both Eastern and Western perspectives. Visual art can offer sensory pleasure and spiritual consolation, while also opening a path towards deeper reflection on human consciousness, spirituality and our relationship with the world around us.
By comparing key ideas in Eastern and Western aesthetics, the talk invites audiences to discover their similarities and differences, and to experience how artistic traditions can meet across cultures—where East and West converge and the possibilities of art transcend boundaries.
