侯玉書：一種新紀元的精神氣質 文｜顧振清
侯玉書是一個跨界的人，他的語境跨越視覺與音樂、精神與物質、自我與宇宙。在藝術上他幾乎格格能入，卻又不拘一格。他的創作既不以美術史意義上的邏輯演進為方向，又不以現有百科全書系統上的知識生產為歸宿。他的視覺表現和聽覺表達更像是一種以自我經驗為中心的修行、體悟和感知性靈的過程。侯玉書不糾纏缺乏營養的理論架構和方法論研究，更不追隨虛妄空泛的意識形態和時代精神。他在國際社會常態化的人文條件下自我成長，有如一株有機植物，盡可能吸收對生命有益的養分和光照。侯玉書時時關心的，既有頭上的星空，又有心中的道德律令。他直接叩問藝術的元問題與神智學、不可知論的各種關聯，追究自身的身體、心智與宇宙所承載的人類所有經驗的感應和溝通。侯玉書的系列作品有著自身的時間軸，猶如一份份個人心靈史的即時記錄。這些作品，與其是展示了宇宙間靈光乍現不斷點亮人內在的一層層精神境界，毋寧是調節並化解了主體經驗與持續湧現未知資訊的一次次衝突......
George Y. Ho：A Spiritual Temperament of The New Age By Zhenqing Gu
George Y. Ho is a person with cross-over capacity. His creative vocabulary spans across the visual and the musical, the spiritual and the material, the individual and the universal. He seems to be very compatible with different styles and yet not restricted to any one in particular. His works neither develop alongside the logical evolution of art history, nor are they based on the knowledge from the existing encyclopedia system. His visual and audio presentations are more like a process of spiritual journey based on his personal experience. Ho does not entangle himself in the rigid framework of theoretical and methodological research, nor does he follow the vague and general ideologies and der Zeitgeist. ......

從生命到宇宙的定理— 侯玉書作品中的圖式與意涵 文｜莊偉慈
繪畫的源起，一直與神秘學、宗教與靈性等此種原始而具有直觀特質的文化密不可分。無論是東方或是西方的藝術創造，都存在著一種直觀而樸素的特徵。
侯玉書的繪畫作品，一直以來具有一種超越時空與文化限制的特質，那種特質幾乎是穿梭來去在不同的宗教與社會，是一種直指人類心靈感受、或者是可以引起情緒共振的頻率。這種特質，不由得讓人想起早期希臘哲學家在談及美學時，特別注意到宇宙萬物的本源或本體的問題。
在談及古代美學之前，我們有必要在此先回顧侯玉書歷年來的創作。在早期、特別是90年代的作品裡，侯玉書的作品多半是將文字與畫面融合在一起。根據藝術家自己所言，這樣的作法多半與繪畫當時的意念有關係。......
A Theorem of Life and the Universe— Images and Meanings in George Y. Ho’s Artworks By Wei-tzu Chuang
The origin of painting has always been linked closely with cultural elements that connect directly to a person’s core, such as occultism, religion and spirituality. This quality is present in the art of both the East and the West.
George Y. Ho’s paintings always possess a trans-temporal and trans-cultural character, shuttling between different religions and societies. It is a character that touches the human heart, or a frequency that resonates with one’s emotions. When pondering about this character, one cannot help but think about the topic of the Universal Source brought up by the Greek philosophers in their discourse on aesthetics.
Before going further into ancient aesthetics, we need to review Ho’s art creations through his career up to now. During his early period, particularly the 1990’s, He often combined words and image in his composition. According to the artist himself, such presentation probably is related to his point of view at that time. ......
