前言
沈朝芳有两个身份，在学校他是研究生，回到他的工作室他就是一位青年艺术家。在艺术创作方面，他十分勤奋，并且不断的转换创作方式寻求自己的艺术语言。这一过程是很艰辛的，也需要有强烈的探索精神。
在今天，艺术的表现方式丰富多彩，尤其青年艺术家的创作与他们所生存的时代有着一致性。如果我们把他们的生活空间看作为是一个透明的、极薄的玻璃容器，这个玻璃空间既透明又脆弱。一旦受到内部膨胀气流的冲击或者是来自外部力量的挤压，它可能会破碎，这些玻璃碎片会撒落在我们生活的空间之中，成千上万的玻璃碎片反射着自然的、生物的、社会的、心灵的、肉体的、本能的、信息的、科学的等等的一切。它们通过反射的光线给我们视觉带来的是绚丽多彩。他们面对这破碎的空间并不恐惧，还从中获取他们所需要的信息，并去构造他们的审美方法和缔造一个新的生存空间，我们很难用传统的思维去揣摩它。所以这些青年艺术家争取到了更大的创作空间。从这一点上来说，他们的勤奋和努力是可喜的。
沈朝芳的个展，展示给我们的有装置、影像、图片等等。在他的作品中，可以看到由于社会压力而从他内心中爆发出的呐喊，也可以看到精美图片和影像所呈现的唯美的表现方式。
在这个空间中还可以看到他为拍摄影像而设计制作的服装及道具。通过他的作品我们可以看到作品与作品之间是跨学科、跨领域的作品，这需要他掌握多种造型语言的方法和技术，同样证明了他的勤奋。
新媒体艺术是一个对未知艺术领域进行探索的学科，同时也是通过当代的理念和尖端的科学技术拓沿审美以及体验与知觉的艺术方式。我们深信我们的过程是艰难的，但是我们将共同努力去探求一种新的适合我们这个时代的艺术语境。

preface
Shen chaofang has two different identities. he is a graduate student in BFA and a young artist in his studio. He works hard in artistic creation and look for his own artistic expression constantly. This process is very difficult, and also needs his strong spirit of exploration.
Nowadays, artistic expressions are rich and colorful and Young artists are synchronized with their times. Their life space is like a fragile transparent glass container. It will be broken by the pressure of the internal expanding air or external forces. The glass fragments will be scattered in our lives. Thousands of them reflect something about natural, biological, social, spirit, physical, instinct, information, science and so on, which brings us various visual experiences. These young artists are not afraid of this broken space and access to the information they need to structure their aesthetic methods and a new living space which we can not study in the traditional way, so that they can strive for a greater creativity. Their efforts are exciting from this point of view.
The exhibition of
Shen chaofang show us some devices, videos and pictures etc. In his works, we can hear the whoops due to social pressure from the bottom of his heart and we can see his aesthetic expression from the beautiful pictures and videos. It also shows us the pros and costumes which was designed for the video. We can find that his works are interdisciplinary ones, which requires not only more efforts but also methods and techniques for visual language.
New media art is a subject for unknown art era and an art mode for new experience and perception brought by contemporary ideas and cutting-edge science and technology. We believe that this process is tough, but we will try our best to explore a new art context adapted to our times.
