Abstract
This paper focuses on the art of Zao Wou-Ki, interpreting it through the dual perspectives of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of Being and Taoist thought. In response to the current lack of application of cross-cultural philosophical dialogue in the field of art, and the fact that existing studies on Zao Wou-Ki tend to emphasize stylistic analysis rather than philosophical depth, this research aims to reveal that Zao Wou-Ki’s abstract paintings visually articulate both Heidegger’s ontological difference and the Taoist notion of mysterious unity, thereby demonstrating the universality of fundamental issues in the aesthetics of art.
