It is also at this juncture, that the work by Xu Hong connects to a modernist abstract painting tradition in the West. This might not be so surprising as it seems. A lot of Western artists in the past have looked towards Asia for inspiration and Zen Buddhism has been widely popular amongst modernist artists. Richard Tuttle comes to mind, or Raimer Jochims from Germany. What is important to understand, however is that Xu Hong´s work comes from experience not from looking at other art. It is the sincerity of his work that makes it so convincing.
