展览简介：
张林海，1963年初秋生于上海， 1964年被养父抱回太行山脉里的一个小山村—河北涉县。自幼体弱多病，因四岁时的一场大病导致腿部终身残疾。1980年开始学画，1990年毕业于天津美术学院版画系。
此次展览将完整呈现张林海由2002年至2008年创作风格及技巧发展。07年之前的早期作品将会从遍布全球的藏家处借回，艺术家全新风格的最新创作将会是展览重点。
……
林海的画，象中国许多画家那样，吸收超现实主义的因素，从写实主义出发，走上一种类似中国古典诗词的意象写实主义。林海学版画出身，油画象版画的处理方式，大面积的色调单纯和强烈，也适合表现雷同的光头和沉闷的情绪。

Exhibition Introduction
Born in Shanghai in 1963, Zhang Lin Hai graduated from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 1990, with a degree in engraving. Zhang was adopted from a Shanghai orphanage by his foster parents and at a tender age he witnessed the devastation of the Cultural Revolution. He suffered from various illnesses, including polio, and at the age of four he survived his sickness, only to be left with a crippled leg and hand. By the age of 17, Zhang ventured out from his small village into the city. He settled in Handan and began to develop his interest in painting.
The exhibition will feature both a body of new works previously unseen by Zhang Lin Hai, as well as a collection of his older works brought back from private collections worldwide. These artworks span from 2002 to 2008 - demonstrating the artist’s mastery in development of both his style and technique.
……
Like many Chinese artists, Zhang Lin Hai is influenced by Surrealism. He began painting in the realist style and then moved away and into the poetic sensibility of Classical Chinese painting. Zhang Lin Hai studied engraving, so his work contains blocks of simple but bold colours, suitable to the themes of his paintings and the moods he wishes to convey.
