Dedicated to promoting cultural exchange between East and West, Lighthouse is committed not only to introducing captivating Western art and children’s books to Asia but also to actively promoting Asian culture and art to international audiences. Between Earth and Heaven spans 254 pages, featuring a selection of Chen Duxi's works from 2009 to 2023, including high-resolution images of the artist's Vacuous Silence, Contemplate, The Order of Body, Animals, and Portraiture series.

The catalog also includes four scholarly articles and one self-narrative by the artist. Bao Dong's Shui Wen (“Water Patterns”/ “Hydrology”) focuses on how Chen Duxi unifies his paintings with objects using his line-drawing language; Feng Qing's Fight and Attain Immortality refers to Chen Duxi's oeuvre as the "modern copy of the classical mind," with their aesthetic inspiration deeply rooted in the timeless philosophy of the human relationship with nature; Wang Wei's Sequence and Refrain analyzes the abstract and representational elements in Chen Duxi's works, demonstrating how visual references from various cultures and times intertwine and integrate naturally with harmony and consistency in his works.
