‘I have a deep admiration for traditional Chinese ink painting: it has an inner purity and luminosity that shines like hidden gold. It moves and stimulates me. I am also attracted by the boldness and unexpectedness of contemporary art. In my work, I have tried to incorporate qualities of both. In addition, I am fascinated by the power of the Neolithic pottery created by craftsmen 5,000 years ago, and have used it as an inspiration in my art… The ‘Distant Echoes’ series is the direct result of these years of effort and exploration.’ – Deng Lin. Essays which provide a study of Deng’s ‘Distant Echoes’ series, and a biography of the artist are included in this catalogue.

鄧林曾說過:「經過多年的努力,我創作了這些作品。我熱愛祖國的傳統繪畫藝術,它金子般閃光的內涵一直深深地激勵着我、吸引着我。我又喜愛現代藝術的奇思妙想及宏大的氣勢。我試圖把這二者結合起來。在對五千年前華夏先民的彩陶紋樣藝術的研究過程中,在藝術的溶化及再創作中,我找到了這條路。」本圖錄亦載有多篇關於「遠古的回音」系列的評論,並附有藝術家的簡歷。
