This study centers on the Chinese artist Mr. Yiqiang Wu’s exploration of his spiritual self expressed in his abstract paintings and performance arts. Mr. Wu is now living at Songzhuang, an artistic center in Beijing, China. He has exhibited his artistic works in both China and Europe with an international reputation as an original and creative artist in modern China. Featured with the tension between the freedom of self and various constrains in realities, Mr. Wu dares to express his views of independent individual in his use of complex lines, geometrical shapes, and the vibrations of colors, together with his daring performance arts. By analyzing Mr. Wu’s representative works, together with an interview of his own artistic views, this study explores how Mr. Wu, as a contemporary Chinese artist with an acute sense of social justice and individual freedom, attempts to render the eternal beauty of truth in his artistic works. As his motto “independence, self-discovery, and freedom” suggests, his artistic works have the power to elevate individual souls to spiritual perfection.
