抽象藝術如何從非具象、非再現的角度走向「藝術中的普遍性」，又如何以獨特性的方式展開「普遍性」？本文從探討藝術中的普遍性與個體性的紛爭與調解入手，進而分析在走向普遍性的創作途徑中、如何對待和處理圖像抽象化的普遍性問題，並將透過一些實例的分析、進行跨文化對話的探索。關鍵在於如何重新理解普遍性的精神、以及審視這個具有曆史性的概念如何在當代藝術的範疇裹反應其哲學層面的理念演變。「創造性的抽象」成為考察抽象化與普遍性的一個棱鏡。

How the abstract art could, from the viewpoint of the non-figuration, the non-representation, accede to Universality in Art, and open to the Universal in a unique way? This paper starts by discussing the issues about the conflicts and reconciliations between the universal and the individual. Then follow some analyses on the ways of treating the question of the image in the creative process for the Universal dimension. It searches as well in the overview of a transcultural dialogue, through some concrete examples in contemporary art. This paper aims to understand the spirit of the Universal in Art today, examining how the historicity of this concept, implied in contemporary art, reflects correspondently, the evolution of some ideas around the concept of the Universal, in philosophy. ＂The creative abstraction＂ thus here becomes the filter for re-thingking the relationship between abstraction and universality.
