 2009-08-03\n\nThe Artists' Alliance of Sugar Land presents the exhibition 
 Bon Voyage\,  journey of life brush painting exhibition by local artist Li
 m Chung. \nBon Voyage \na poem by Lim\nChung Feb 27th\, 2009\n \nEvery pie
 ce of my work is a journey\,\nA journey that has no beginning nor ending\,
 \n&ldquo\;Mobius strip&rdquo\; may explain this&hellip\;&hellip\;&hellip\;
 &hellip\;&hellip\;\nOr may I say the word &ldquo\;gene&rdquo\;?\nA gene fr
 om my Father.\n \nI love travelling&hellip\;&hellip\;..\nTravel on a journ
 ey into the past\, present and future.\nI travelled into the past by books
 \, music\, arts and etc.\nVia different transportations and my five senses
 \, I see the present.\nThrough history and experiences\, I visualize the f
 uture.\n \nWhen I was very young\,\nI flied to China to pick up the four t
 reasures of the study\,\nAnd tried to write and draw like literati.\nWith 
 the brush and ink in monotone\,\nI wrote phrases from great philosophers.
 \nConfucius had a lot of advice for me to be a good person.\nTaoism taught
  me &ldquo\;To remain whole\, be twisted\;\nTo become straight\, let yours
 elf be bent\;\nAnd to become full\, be hollow.&rdquo\;\n \nCalligrapher Ma
 ster Liu told me my calligraphy need to have bone and flesh.\nMost of the 
 traditional brush painting artists had something in common&hellip\;.\nThey
  were very wise men during their time.\nBut how come their paintings did n
 ot have perspective\nAnd always floated on the air?\nTravel beyond the tim
 e and space (????) was the answer.\n \nThe multi-culture in the Southeast 
 Asia hinted to me that\nThere were people with different skin color living
  on the other side of the globe.\nYet\, we had one thing in common\,\nWe w
 ere all attracted towards the center of the sphere.\nA picture came into m
 y mind\,\nLot of colorful push pins pinned into a highly textured ball.\n
 \nWhen I was a teenager\,\nI sailed my boat to Europe&hellip\;&hellip\;\nI
  open my eyes to colors\, light source\, values\, proportions and etc.\nI 
 finally understood the works of Michelangelo after I turned myself to Lord
 .\n \nRembrandt told me brush could be used in either way\,\nThe bristle s
 ide and the wooden side\,\nSo as to the texture of a surface\;\nThe smooth
  and the textured.\nHe also taught me the word &ldquo\;Chiaroscuro&rdquo\;
  (contrast between light and dark)\,\nThat reminded me about &ldquo\;Tai-c
 hi&ldquo\;(balance between Ying & Yang).\nYes\, the push-pin picture came 
 into my mind again.\n \nMonet showed me how to put colors together in an i
 mpressionism way.\nI was truly impressed when Picasso noted that his cubis
 m were influenced by oriental art\,\nHe had captured the spirit of orienta
 l art in such a colorful way.\nBy then I understood the meaning of &ldquo\
 ;Travel beyond the time and space&rdquo\; (????)\,\nIn a more colorful app
 roach.\n \nAt Bauhaus in Germany\,\nI met Walter Gropius\, an architect of
  his time.\nWe might have the same profession and vision in first place\,
 \nBut our destination was a lot difference.\nHis calling was to merge the 
 craftsmen and fine art into one\,\nForms follow function is the new name.
 \n \nToday\, I am on my endless voyage to an unclear destiny.\nI may stay 
 in a cocoon for a while before\nI could understand the meaning of\nThe bon
 e and the flesh.\nThe wise butterfly console me\;\nDear Voyager\,\nSufferi
 ng is beautiful.\nYou may wish the road is much shorter\, yet\,\nVia suffe
 ring\, the bone is strengthened\, and\nIt will produce a beautiful and fra
 grance flesh.\n \nEvery piece of art is a journey\,\nOf someone who did it
 .\nSo is mine&hellip\;&hellip\;&hellip\;.\n \nOpening Reception: Saturday\
