二战之后，许多艺术家从欧洲迁移至美国，世界艺术的中心也逐渐从巴黎转向纽约。这一时期的艺术家们从欧洲和美国两种不同的社会场景中汲取营养，发展出独特的艺术身份——“抽象表现主义”—— 一场以个人表达自由、精神探索与形式突破为核心的艺术革命。它彻底解放了线条、色彩与姿态，使其不再是描绘外物的工具，而成为内在情感、潜意识乃至宇宙能量的直接载体。
提到抽象艺术，很多人会觉得它挂在美术馆墙上，显得高冷，离日常生活很远。其实艺术家的创作灵感往往来源于生活又高于生活。
目前，展览《抽象之谜》正在北京美国中心展出。群展汇聚六位中外当代艺术家，以油画、纸本、装置与即兴现场等多种形式展开一场生活之美与抽象艺术的对话。

本次活动，我们请到其中几位参展艺术家，从自身独特经历中聊聊在中美两种文化土壤里，如何从日常生活中汲取抽象艺术的创作灵感，以及抽象艺术如何成为跨越国界的艺术语言。
我们邀请您步入北京美国中心，一起探索抽象艺术的谜之所在，共同创作瞬间即永恒的当下之美。
Want to experience a creative spark? Join our in-person art sharing event! Here, passionate artists and enthusiasts come together to exchange ideas, share their work, and explore the endless charm of art.
After World War II, many artists migrated from Europe to the United States, and the center of the art world gradually shifted from Paris to New York. During this period, artists drew nourishment from the distinct social environments of Europe and America, developing a unique artistic identity—Abstract Expressionism—a revolutionary movement centered on personal freedom of expression, spiritual exploration, and formal innovation. This movement completely liberated line, color, and gesture, transforming them from mere tools for depicting external objects into direct carriers of inner emotion, the subconscious, and even universal energy.
When people think of abstract art, many imagine it hanging on museum walls, appearing aloof and distant from everyday life. In reality, artists’ creative inspiration often comes from life itself, while also transcending it.
Currently, the exhibition "The Mystery of Abstraction" is on view at the Beijing American Center. This group show brings together six contemporary artists from China and abroad, presenting a dialogue between the beauty of everyday life and abstract art through oil painting, works on paper, installations, and live improvisation.
For this event, we have invited several of the participating artists to share, from their unique perspectives, how they draw inspiration for abstract art from daily life within both Chinese and American cultural contexts, and how abstract art serves as a language that transcends national boundaries.
We invite you to step into the Beijing American Center to explore the mysteries of abstract art and to co-create the beauty of the present moment—where the fleeting becomes eternal.
The event will be conducted in Chinese.
活动将用中文进行。
The audience will be admitted starting at 2:30pm.
观众2:30可以进场。
