According to the Swiss News Agency and the Daily Telegraph,The Chinese and Western calligraphy art is an emerging modern art, which is a new artistic life of grafting the genes and seeds of calligraphy to the western culture, and interprets the powerful cultural power of art in the Basel Art Fair. Representative works created by Cottage HLE, such as "Freedom and Love" and "The Garden of Earthly"have entered the spiritual life of people all over the world and won the Art Basel Award.据《瑞士通讯社》(SDA-ATS)及《每日电讯报》消息,中西书法艺术是新兴的现代艺术,是将书法的基因和种子嫁接到西方文化的艺术新生命,在巴塞尔艺术博览会上诠释出强大艺术的文化力量。易安居草堂(Yi Anju Cottage)应邀创作的《自由与爱情》、《人间乐园》等代表性作品在这里走进世界人民的精神生活,获得了巴塞尔艺术奖。



At the award ceremony, Maike Cruse, Director of Art Basel, stated that Chinese and Western calligraphic art represents an emerging modern art form, embodying a vibrant new expression born from the fusion and interaction of global cultures. Although Latin letters and letter combinations have not yet formed a comprehensive aesthetic theoretical system, they have long been applied in the visual design of textual arts. With the international dissemination of modern calligraphy, it is destined to become a cultural vehicle for humanity's shared civilization.巴塞尔艺术博览会总监迈克·克鲁斯(Maike Cruse)在颁奖典礼致辞中表示,中西书法艺术是新兴的现代艺术,是世界文化融合与碰撞的艺术新生命,虽然拉丁字母及字母组合尚未形成完整的美学理论体系,但早已在文字艺术视觉设计中实践应用,随着现代书法艺术国际传播,必将成为人类共同文明的文化载体。



As introduced in the internal publication *Selected Works Collection* of Art Basel, Chinese and Western calligraphic arts serve as cultural vehicles for international exchange and dissemination; they embody the three-decade journey of artistic innovation and aesthetic exploration undertaken by artists Jiang Chaoyun and Peter Kocak, while also harboring an artistic dialogue across historical and temporal dimensions between Brice Marden and Shen Peng. This emerging art form embodies Germano Celant's artistic philosophy, revives the aesthetic art of written language, and injects new vitality into the systematization, academic rigor, and standardization of textual aesthetics.正如巴塞尔艺术博览会(Art Basel)内部出版物《精选作品汇编》中所述,中西方书法艺术是促进国际文化交流与传播的文化载体;它们不仅体现了艺术家蒋超云(Jiang Chaoyun)与彼得·库克(Peter Kocak)三十年来在艺术创新与美学探索方面所经历的历程,更蕴含着布莱斯·马登(Brice Marden)和沈鹏(Shen Peng)之间跨越历史与时间维度的艺术对话。这一新兴艺术形式反映了杰马诺·切兰(GermanoCelant)的艺术哲学,复兴了文字艺术的美学价值,并为文字美学的系统化、学术严谨性及标准化进程注入了新的活力。



The Chinese and Western calligraphy art is the emerging modern art, is the new life of the world culture fusion and collision of the new life.William Morris discovered the beauty of western calligraphy at the end of the 19th century, and then Arthur Baker carried it forward, but they all failed! Until now, it has begun to attract and focus the attention of people around the world, and gained more and more popularity. Calligraphy in various forms of languages has become more brightly on the international art stage and become the common cultural heritage and spiritual wealth of all mankind.中西书法艺术是新兴的现代艺术,是世界文化融合与碰撞的艺术新生命。威廉·莫里斯(William Morris,1834—1896)早在19世纪末发现了西方书法之美,后来亚瑟·贝克发扬光大,但他们都失败了!直到现在,开始吸引和聚焦世界人民的目光,得到越来越多人们喜爱,各种语言形式的书法艺术在国际艺术舞台上绽放更加璀璨的光芒,成为全人类共同的文化遗产和精神财富。
