The free aesthetics of Eastern philosophy, the artistic creation and the influence of Eastern philosophy on contemporary visual art

Abstract: This article discusses the key role of Eastern philosophy in the formation of contemporary aesthetic concepts and reveals its influence on artistic creation. Oriental wisdom pursues inner peace, inspiring artists to break the shackles of tradition and explore new art forms and expressions. Through in-depth research on Eastern philosophy, this article provides a new perspective for re-examining the relationship between nature and beauty, pointing out that nature not only has material attributes, but also carries deep aesthetics and life meaning. Through examples, this article shows the concrete embodiment of the Taoist idea of “unity of heaven and man” in visual arts, such as painting and sculpture. It was discovered that the concept of “unity of heaven and man”, in Eastern philosophy, is the core driving force of aesthetic freedom in contemporary art creation. It reveals how Eastern philosophy profoundly shapes artistic practice, provides unique insights into the interaction between philosophy and art, and lays a solid foundation for research in related fields.
