海的博大和變化從小就給了許劍揚深刻的印象，造就了他藝術作的靈魂，
海是多變的，有時靜若處子，有時洶湧咆哮，在大海和本我中，他選擇了寧靜，平淡；
在寧靜中感受宇宙和自然的變化對宇宙浩森的哲思，他的平淡並非平凡與枯竭，
而是要在有限的空間中，宣洩出世界瞬息萬變的博大精深。
看似簡約潔淨的意象深深地投射出豐富的寧靜，隨物賦形，
達到了平淡之美、外枯而中膏的天籟之美，大大的拓展了畫中意象的表達空間，
而這種藝術思想的形成更體現了東方人意味著純正的精神境界，而從心理結構出發，解析出山水文化韻涵著文化心理的情感及色彩，它既入理又含情
He is a renowned painter currently represented by the US China Business Center, Mingdian Gallery in Taiwan, Songfengge Gallery, and several prominent galleries in Hong Kong. Born in 1973 into a family of stone sculptors in Hui’an, Quanzhou, China—a city famed for its stone carving—he was nurtured in the arts from a young age. He began his artistic journey at 18, and his works, including Hui’an Woman, Old Home, and Local Affection, have received awards in various domestic exhibitions. In 2004, he participated in the Contemporary Oil Painting Joint Exhibition at Mingdian Gallery in Taiwan, and his works have since been collected by renowned collectors across Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
The vastness and ever-changing nature of the sea left a profound impression on Xu Jianyang from an early age, shaping the spirit of his art. The sea is unpredictable—sometimes tranquil like a resting maiden, sometimes roaring in fury. Between the ocean and the self, he chooses serenity and simplicity. Within this quietude, he contemplates the universe and the natural flux of existence. His simplicity is not ordinary or barren; rather, it seeks to express the profound and ever-changing vastness of the world within a limited space.
His seemingly minimal and clean imagery deeply conveys rich tranquility, forming shapes inspired by objects and nature. He achieves a beauty of simplicity, an inner fullness beneath outward restraint—a celestial harmony that expands the expressive space of his painting. This artistic philosophy reflects a quintessentially Eastern pursuit of pure spiritual realm, analyzing the emotional and chromatic undertones of landscape culture from a psychological perspective. It is at once rational and emotive, imbued with cultural sentiment.
