“Art of Uncertainty”—Taking Fujian Art as an Example

Abstract

As Fujian is located in a culturally open area, its art presentations have distinctive regional characteristics. From a holistic perspective, the development of traditional art in Fujian is dominated by art forms represented by art inheritors and cultural heritage. From a local perspective, Fujian art has entered the context of contemporary art history and has been divided into contemporary Fujian art and traditional Fujian art by modern cultural viewpoints. In this paper, “Fujian art” from both the holistic and local perspectives is discussed at three levels: the uncertainty principle and the study of Fujian’s regional culture, the contemporary characteristics of Fujian culture and art, and the development of contemporary Fujian art, which are discussed based on different art types and their cultural and regional characteristics. The paper argues that the development of Fujian art has a strong artistic vitality and cultural inclusiveness and, from the contemporary perspective, has an obvious characteristic of “uncertainty” in the field of cultural geography.
