该画展展出了庄培德（Erik Chong）、 邓燕旋（Jessica Deng）和何家强（Henry Ho）、Brian Lau、 David Li和 Esther Yun等人的画作。何家强和Brian Lau还在画展开幕式上当场表演水墨画创作过程。
该画展在Metro Hall 举行了一周后，将于6月10日至17日在多伦多市政府（City Hall）大厅继续展出。
策展人赵廉以诗歌的独特方式写下了“策展人的话”，讲述华裔艺术家们如何用水墨在宣纸上记录此时此地，凭籍亚裔先人的智慧，在繁忙的生活中静思，寻觅自我和超越时空的生命真谛。
Curatorial Notes
By Lien Chao
Heart beats like a drum
time passing by
every second
life changes
before our eyes
Do you ever contemplate
on the condition of a moment?
Do you ever pause to ask yourself
what you are thinking,
how you are feeling,
at this very moment
if life consists of numerous moments
of right here, right now,
then right here, right now
should be the essence of life
an urge hastens
to enlighten human beings,
creatures of habits
to awaken our senses
from slumber and indulgence
from values built by others
for our mindless existence
here and now
wake up our senses
the journey starts
when the search begins
to reflect on our being
to ask essential questions
Who am I?
Why am I alive?
The 2015 Asian Heritage Month
Visual Art Exhibition
depicts such a journey
towards the spiritual wisdom
inherited from our forefathers in Asia
brought to this land
by generations of immigrants
to enrich the lives of the descendents
WE---we are
a group of Asian Canadian artists
dipping our Chinese brushes
in ink and water
landing our brush strokes
across white Xuan paper
our emotional discharge
engendered a moment of awakening
then and there, instantly,
the absorbing Xuan paper
recorded our journey
our creativity
moments of awareness
fully lived
the moments have passed
and yet, the meaning
has transcended time and space
in the texture of ink and water
remaining on the Xuan paper
right here, right now
continues, we hope,
to enlighten
the audience |
