事件2008 — 吕山川作品展
展期：12月28日－1月5日
地点：2号馆2层展厅
吕山川在2008年的艺术生活仍然延续着用绘画的方式叙述现实的方法，由此构成了《事件2008》的系列作品。如同2007年一样，在他的工作室里，只有报纸和画布两种东西，或者说只有新闻与画面两种东西。他的全部生活就在现实的记录与艺术的创造这两个最单纯的端点之间，他的精神状态与艺术热情则始终围绕着将两种事物联系在一起。
但是，《事件2008》又是有自己的年度主题的，这是吕山川以新闻为媒介这种绘画方式的新进展。在《事件2007》中，我们可以看到他取材的多样化，他的关注点比较多地受到世界范围内多种新闻事件的吸引，然而，在2008年这一整年中，他的关注点放在了中国，《事件2008》也因此可以说就是“事件中国”。
同样，在艺术表现力上，吕山川的《事件2008》也有新的进展。他的作品仍然尺幅巨大，但是，在其中投入的语言密集程度更高了，对画面视觉效果特别是“绘画性”的追求也更集中了。吕山川的才能在于他具有极强的绘画造型能力，在表现性语言的施展上可以说达到笔随心运、淋漓酣畅的程度。

Event 2008—Solo-Exhibition by LV SHANCHUAN
Duration：28th Dec.– 5th Jan.
Venue：The 2nd Floor exhibition hall of Building 2
Throughout 2008, Lv Shanchuan has continued his gripping portrayal of reality in his life of art, as can be seen in the series “Events 2008”. Just as in the previous year, his studio has been taken up by two things, newspapers and canvases, or rather, news and pictures. His entire world is nothing but an extension between two simple ends, linking a realistic record and artistic creation. In between grow his burning impulse and enthusiasm to bring art to life, or vice versa.
“Events 2008” has its own theme of the year, a progression in news-based painting developed by Lv Shanchuan. Looking at his “Events 2007”, we discover a diversity of topics in his work. His focus was distracted by multiple sources of global news. However, the cynosure of his eyes throughout the whole of 2008 has been China. “Events 2008” may thus be interpreted as “Events in China”.
Likewise, Lv Shanchuan made progress in “Events 2008” in terms of artistic expression. Truly his works are of enormous size, but he does not balk at pouring in more intense contents and creating a strong visual impact. With his superb ability in graphical modeling, Lv Shanchuan has his own way of mesmerizing viewers by bold and full expression.
