從謝曹閩的作品中，我們能看到一個不斷跨越邊界的藝術家：一直在權衡不同的歷史和自身對文化的獨特解讀。

這些繪畫作品的復雜形態代表著印度教和佛教傳統的形而上意象，這些意象是視覺化的宇宙，也是輔助冥想的工具。實際上，謝曹閩稱這個系列為“曼荼羅”，這也體現了藝術家創造力的另一面，即對佛教教義、造像和精神實踐的濃厚興趣。

其他畫廊很榮幸展出常駐美國的中國藝術家謝曹閩的最新作品，為了讓觀眾對作品有更深刻的了解，其他畫廊·北京空間同時展示兩大系列，并且由西門柯壁撰文。

Xie Caomin’s creative work reveals an artist who routinely crosses boundaries; a continual process of negotiation between the disparate histories and modes of thinking that make up his own, unique, cultural understanding.

The complex forms of these paintings refer to the metaphysical images of the Hindu and Buddhist traditions, images that serve as visualizations of the cosmos and aids to meditation. Indeed, in calling the series Mandala Xie Caomin reveals yet another facet of this artist’s creative persona; that is an active interest in Buddhist philosophy, iconography and spiritual practice. 

The OTHER GALLERY is proud to present the latest works by US based Chinese artist Xie Caomin. To gain a profound overview of his oeuvre the exhibition contains two series displayed together at OTHER GALLERY | Beijing space with a curatorial text by Simon Kirby.
