　　In this exhibition, Mr. Liu has introduced all his abstract ink wash painting works displayed on this show of “Future is Now, Abstract is Visual” to his audience coming from the artistic world and all other walks of life. The visibility and the penetration of space and time of his abstract ink wash ideas were demonstrated in several dimensions including the evolution of the Chinese Five Elements, the exotic landscapes on earth and the fantasy of meta-universe. For instance, Chinese five elements are depicted in the pieces of Birth and Wood, Earth, Water, Metal and Fire, which created a new distinct visual effect of ink wash painting by combining the eastern point-line-surface style and western light-shadow-color style. The evolution of Chinese five elements and Chinese traditional culture are accurately conveyed by the concepts the pieces express and form and content they contain. The series artworks of Ancient Call renders his intense spiritual world and his appreciation deep inside his heart on the mysterious beauty of nature in the universe. With his ultimate concern for earth ecology, green environmental protection and ecological footprint, his works illustrate a combination of pure and pristine humanistic care and miraculous beauty as exemplified in Qu Yuan's famous poem “Heavenly Questions”. Inspired by the aesthetics of the virtual reality empowered by high tech and science, Mr. Liu emphasized the beautiful conjecture on the oriental power standing out against the universe in his imaginary series pieces of Comic Light. The colorful pictures and affectionate brushwork texture are full of aesthetic conception of “man, earth, heaven, law, Tao and nature” in “Tao Te Ching”, which goes as “Man takes his law from the Earth;the Earth takes its law from Heaven;Heaven takes its law from the Tao. The law of the Tao is its being what it is”, and unfold the marvelousness of the universe space. These works on "Future is Now, Abstract is Visual" almost perfectly revealed the humanistic thoughts and aesthetic vision that Chinese abstract ink art wants to express, which highlights the persistence and transcendence of Mr. Liu Ze in the past 30 years of his painting career.

The exhibition has attracted a great deal of attention and support from well-known artists, critics and scholars at colleges and universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Central Academy of Fine Arts and Capital Normal University.

The following is some of the comments received from visitors in the field:

　　著名策展人、评论家，学者蔡力武: 刘泽融东西方技术于一炉、以东方哲学思想去冥想探索，系列的表现了星河耿耿、银汉万象，这是艺术史上伟大的探索!伟大如文森特.凡高都只是浅尝辄止，而刘泽却如激光破空，直插无限，在这个艺术领域，刘泽大勇、大智应该是现代东方画坛第一人!

　　Cai Liwu, a famous curator, critic and scholar: “ Integrated with the eastern and western techniques, Mr. Liu Ze’s works contain reflections upon oriental philosophy, which he embellishes with sparkling and glittering stars and planets, adding charm and splendor to the omnipresent universe and galaxies. Even artist as great as Vincent Van Gogh was just dabbling with it, while Mr. Liu Ze unleashes infinite possibilities, which makes him one of the greatest painters in the field of modern oriental painting!”

　　陈斐鹏：此次画展作品以刘泽旅欧游学艺术视野下的当代抽象水墨为主题，从东西方当代艺术生态对话互鉴及回返中国当代水墨艺术审美的文脉基调，以实验，融合，突破为其个人风格转化的当代抽象水墨图像，呈现出全新的美学观念。

　　Chen Feipeng: “All the works in this exhibition take Mr. Liu Ze’s contemporary abstract ink wash painting as the theme, which reflects his European art perspective from his study tour. From eastern-western dialogues and exchanges on contemporary art to returning to the basic tone of Chinese Chinese contemporary ink art aesthetics, they present a brand-new aesthetic concept, creating contemporary abstract ink wash paintings with his own personalized experimentation, integration and disruption.”

　　黄中：刘泽先生是中国当代抽像水墨艺术具有实验精神的先锋人物，他以寻找物质时代的精神贵族的理念行走于江湖，又远离中心，但是从来没有忘记自己强烈的使命：“民族艺术国际化、世界文化本土化，”于是他发起了北京大学艺术国际化课题组，希望中国当代艺术能够有学术精神上的高度，有国际视野上的广度，有时代思想上的深度，同时也以国际自由人的审美视域推动中国当代艺术水墨携带着中国传统优秀文化遗产一起向前发展。

　　Huang Zhong: “Mr. Liu Ze is avant-garde in his Contemporary Chinese Ink Wahs painting with the spirit of experiment. He strives to seek for the spiritual nobility in artistic circle in this era of materiality. He keeps away from the secular world, but never forgets his commitment to the mission of “Internationalizing local art and localizing international culture!” His enthusiasm led him to advocate for the formation of a research group at Peking University dedicated to art internationalization, in an effort to elevate Chinese contemporary art to a higher degree of academic spirit, a broader perspective of the world, and a deeper level of critical thought; while at the same time, he also promotes the development of Chinese contemporary ink wash painting with Chinese traditional excellent cultural heritage from the aesthetic perspective of an International Freeman!”

　　Liu Ze: Mr. Liu Ze was born in Beijing. He has always been fascinated by art and astronomy since he was a young child, and what he does best is to illustrate the magnificence of the universe with his brushes, and his Chinese abstract ink wash paintings disrupted the traditional Chinese painting. In 2012 he went to Italy to study, majoring in research on ancient techniques and materials of Western paintings. In 2015, he founded a new genre called "New Expressionism of Chinese Abstract Ink Wash Painting", which focuses on the importance of artists' free imaginative thinking. Liu advocates that abstract art should be totally separated from the natural external forms, and should aim at embodying the abstract spirit, thus achieving a realm of absoluteness, where human beings and gods become one. In addition, he also started an artistic hotel in 2014 --- Beijing 798 GRACIE Garden, where the paintings for decoration show his love for and pursuit in art. On January 24, 2018, a well-known Wall Street banker Mr. Jim Rogers collected one of Liu’s paintings: Light of the Universe, No 18. On May 19, 2019, Mr. Liu attended a charity auction in Washington DC, organized by Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation. Mr. Liu Ze is now a National First-class Artist, a researcher in Liberal Arts College of Peking University and the director of Foreign Cooperation Center, a member of the Painting and Calligraphy Association under General Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, as well as the vice president of China Business Etiquette Artists Association. His works have been enshrined by many famous institutions or eminent figures, among which are: Willem Van Gogh Museum of Holland; Mr. Neil Bush, an American banker; the Swiss collector, Uli Sigg; professor Stompel Józef, who is a Polish pianist and Jean Christophe, Baron von Pfetten, the owner of Apethorpe Palace in England.
