展览前言
禅宗史上著名的吃茶公案中,赵州和尚三问:“曾到此间否?”此间即是当下,此间即是日常用事,此间即是人间。
艺术是一种意识形态,它必然要反映我们的现实生活。中国水墨发展到今天,已经分为传统水墨与当代水墨两大体系。中国传统水墨大多远离现实生活,往往寄情于山水之间,而当代水墨则是借助西方的艺术语言和观念,直指当下,反映当下的社会状态和思绪。传统水墨与当代水墨两者之间虽然一度水火不相容,但实际上近年来已有相互学习融合的一种趋势。
本次大般若艺术基金会主办的“中国当代水墨名家邀请展”,所邀请的5位艺术家,都是中国美术界颇具影响力的当代水墨艺术家。
秦风是哈佛大学有史以来第一位当代艺术研究员,同时也是大英博物馆首位收藏中国当代水墨作品的艺术家。他的作品大多带有一些隐喻性的神秘色彩,层出不穷的创作灵感无一不指向内心,其作品中几乎看不到任何具象的人物、山水和都市风情等,而这正好暗合了禅宗的理论——直指人心,见性成佛。
王利丰是当代中国抽象艺术的先行者之一,他的作品以综合材料著称,近期他的作品首次以中国传统的宣纸作为绘画材料,浓郁的古典泼彩技法与当代的艺术观念给人一种耳目一新的感觉。
堆积则是吕鹏作品语言中最鲜明的特点。他的几乎每一幅作品,都形象地把握了中国人普遍的一种生存感觉,体现出一种游戏和滑稽的关系,他认为中国人所谓的文化,其实只是一些文化的碎片。
“和乐的仙居世界”是梁长胜创作的永恒主题,他采用中国传统的线描技法为世人堆砌出一个自己臆造的神秘的世界。他试图在各种纷繁复杂的世界里寻找自己的精神家园,他的作品匪夷所思,为我们展现了当代中国最高超的线描技法。
与很多艺术家不一样,李道柳是当代艺术领域最早意识到应该俯身学习传统艺术的艺术家之一。在鼓吹当代艺术多年后,他发现越靠近西方的当代艺术其实离自己的内心越远,于是他重新回到东方传统,自此一发不可收拾,陆续创作出一批富有古意和禅趣的作品。他的作品往往给人以静穆的感觉,我们可以从其作品中看到浮躁热闹后面已经离我们渐行渐远的深层次的文化记忆。

Exhibition Introduction
The famous Zen koan in the history of tea, Zhao monk three asked: "have been here?" Here is the moment, here is everything in a day, here is the world.
Art is a kind of ideology, it is bound to reflect our real life. Chinese ink painting development to today, has been divided into two system, traditional ink painting and contemporary ink. Chinese traditional ink painting are far from the real life, often focused on the mountains and rivers, and the contemporary ink painting is through the western artistic language and ideas, at present, reflect the social status and thoughts the moment. Between the traditional ink painting and contemporary ink although once be incompatible like water and fire, but a trend in fact in recent years, mutual learning and integration.
The Prajna Art Foundation sponsored "Chinese Contemporary Ink Painting Artists Invitation Exhibition", 5 artists invited, are influential in China Art of contemporary ink painting artists.
Qin Feng is the first contemporary art researcher of Harvard University, is also the first Chinese British Museum of contemporary ink painting artists. Most of his works with some metaphorical mystery, emerge in an endless stream of creative inspiration without pointing to the heart, his works can hardly see any representational figures, landscape and urban culture, which coincided with the theory of Zen – Point to people’s heart, Buddhahood upon en lightenment.
Wang Lifeng is one of the pioneer of contemporary Chinese art, his work is known for its comprehensive material, his recent works for the first time in the Chinese traditional rice paper as a painting material, rich classic splash of color techniques and contemporary art concepts give a person a kind of find everything fresh and new feeling.
Accumulation is the characteristics of Lv Peng's works in the most vivid language. His almost every piece of work, image to grasp living feelings of Chinese general, reflects the relationship between a game and funny, he thought the Chinese so-called culture, but some cultural fragments.
"Happy World" is the eternal theme of Liang Changsheng's creation, he uses Chinese traditional line drawing techniques for the world to build a conjecture of the mysterious world. He tried to find his own spiritual home in the numerous and complicated world, his work is fantastic, we show line drawing techniques of contemporary China's most sophisticated.
Different with many other artists, Li Daoliu is aware of the first to be bent to learn one of traditional art. In advocating the contemporary art for many years, he found that the contemporary art is close to the Western fact from your heart away, so he returned to the eastern tradition, then a get out of hand, have created a group of wealthy old and Zen works. His works often gives a solemn feeling, we can see behind from his works is blundering lively cultural memory we drift away from the deep.
