Dream Butterfly Temple, oil painting, oil on canvas, 210×140cm, 2017.梦蝶寺，油画，布面油画，210×140cm，2017。"Sumeru" is a term from Brahmanism, and later was quoted by Buddhism in the buddhist world view. Mount Sumeru is located in the center of the world, surrounded by eight mountains and eight seas, which are rich in flowers and wind. Different gods live in the mountain, making it mysterious and sacred. And the words "Sights of the Mount Sumeru" are also the theme of Du Kun's April 2019 exhibition in New York, USA.
“须弥山”是来自于婆罗门教的术语，后来又被佛教引用。在佛教的世界观中，须弥山位于世界的正中央，周围有八山八海。山中花果繁盛，香风四起，不同的神鬼居住其中，神秘且神圣。而“须弥山诸景”几个字也是艺术家杜昆在2019年4月于美国纽约举行个人画展的题目。
Punk Temple, Oil Painting,2014.Du Kun—born in 1982 in Sichuan, China. He began to learn painting at the age of 3, and was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts to study oil painting in 2003, showing very high architectural painting skills and talent. But what's even more surprising is that he is not only a painter but also a rock musician.杜昆—1982年出生于中国四川。从3岁开始学画，直到2003年他考入了中央美术学学习专业油画，展现出了非常高的建筑绘画技巧与天赋。但令人更惊讶的是，在拥有画家身份的同时，他还是一位摇滚乐手。"One painter and half musician" —Du Kun introduced himself like this. After entering the Fine Arts Academy, he began to play musicand formed a band called Graffiti. Because he has two identities at the same time, his paintings contain both the restraint of Buddhism and the wildness of rock and roll.“画家一只，乐人半只”—杜昆曾经这样介绍自己。在考入美术学院后，他开始接触音乐，而且组建了名为“涂鸦”的乐队。也正因为同时拥有两层身份，他的画中同时包含了佛教的内敛克制与摇滚的豪迈狂放。Mirror Pavilion, oil on canvas ,220X150cm, 2019.
佛香殿 ，布面油画 ，220X150cm ，2019。Du Kun's paintings, from a distance, show Buddhist pavilions perched on towering mountains and towering trees dangling from sheer cliffs, but closer up, you see that they are actually portraits of rockstars. The swaying branches and hanging waterfalls form the characters' hair, and the windows become their eyes. The veins of Buddhist and Confucian architecture form the mechanism of the characters' skin, and often there are statues of Buddha adorning them. The series of pictures is solemn and full of mystery.杜昆的油画，远看是佛教的亭台楼阁错落在巍峨的群山之上，参天大树悬挂在陡峭的悬崖。但走近看，就会发现这些建筑其实是摇滚歌星的肖像画。摇曳的树枝和垂悬的瀑布构成了人物的头发，窗户成为他们的眼睛，佛教和儒教建筑的脉络形成人物皮肤的机理，并时常有佛像点缀其中。整个画面神圣肃穆又充满了神秘感。Kaifu Temple, oil on canvas, 170X300cm,2018.In Du Kun's paintings, there are Zuo Xiaozuzhong, Xie Tianxiao, Ou Jiayuan, Li Zhi, Mu Ma and other rock artists familiar to Chinese people. For Du Kun, these rock stars can also be understood as music gods. In the music world, there is a frenzy of worship for rock stars, similar to the worship of the Buddha and other gods in Buddhism. By means of religious allegory, Du Kun re-examines contemporary society and creates a new visual landscape.杜昆的画里出现过左小祖咒、谢天笑、欧珈源、李志、木玛等对中国人来说非常熟悉的摇滚乐人。对于杜昆来说，这些摇滚歌星，也可以理解为音乐神。在乐坛，观众对摇滚巨星有着疯狂的崇拜，这与佛教中信众对神明的崇拜异曲同工。杜昆用宗教寓言的的方式，重新审视当代社会，创造了新的视觉景观。Wangchuan Building, oil painting, oil on canvas,210, 140cm,2015.望川楼，油画，布面油画，210×140cm，2015。Tongtian Temple, oil painting, oil on canvas, 210×140cm, 2015.通天寺，油画，布面油画，210×140cm，2015。Tian Yin Ge, oil painting, oil on canvas,210, 140cm,2015.天音阁，油画，布面油画，210×140cm，2015。Jiayuan Scenic Spot, oil painting, oil on canvas, 210×140cm, 2015.珈源胜境，油画，布面油画，210×140cm，2015。Mo Monastery, oil painting,2014.Errayi Palace, oil painting,2014.While working on this series of creations, Du Kun is also experimenting with dynamic image - GIF. For example, using motion blur to emphasize the subject. The windswept branches of the trees or the hair of the characters, as well as the flowing mountain spring, create a psychedelic atmosphere. Du Kun's solid drawing skills and new digital approaches give his work an immersive feel.
在进行这一系列创作的同时，杜昆也在尝试动态影像—GIF。比如用动态模糊的手法来强调主题。树木随风飘荡的枝叶或者说人物的头发，以及倾泻而下的山泉，共同营造出一种迷幻的氛围。杜昆扎实的绘画技巧和新的数码手法，都让他的作品给人一种身临其境的感觉。"The scenery of Mount Sumeru is both a surreal journey and a visual music festival.""须弥山的景色既是一场超现实之旅，也是一场视觉音乐节。"Tiansong Palace, oil on canvas,210X140cm,2016.天颂宫，布面油画，210X140cm，2016 。
