?? From the work of these four artists Li Dafang, Shi Xinning, Zhang Xiaotao and Fu Hong we can see a slight change of direction in Chinese contemporary art. Their paintings have achieved a new mode of discussion, where judging the value of art no longer requires entanglement in the traditions of painting, cultural background or regional location. This does not mean that the unique traditions of painting and regional or cultural context are of no relevance, merely that a momentous change has taken place as regards this type of relevancy. The cultural characteristics of Chinese contemporary art in the context of globalization, and its cultural characteristics as judged by Chinese standards, are two completely different ways of looking at culture. The latter brings up a long-standing dislocation between China and the rest of the world that keeps Chinese culture locked in a relativist confrontation with other cultures. This confrontation swings between emphasising conceptualised national characteristics while neglecting the self-renewal of Chinese culture, and becoming so obsessed with translating other cultures that its own language is lost. Globalization has given all cultures the opportunity to rebuild the world on a foundation of respect for the value of individual lives, and this is the biggest challenge that every culture faces in the process of globalization. The work of Li Dafang, Shi Xinning, Zhang Xiaotao and Fu Hong should be regarded as having emerged in response to the age of globalization, and perhaps their work indicates that Chinese contemporary art is sketching out a new roadmap.
??? 從李大方、石心寧、張小濤、付泓的繪畫作品，我們可以約略地看到中國當代藝術(shù)的轉(zhuǎn)向。這些繪畫作品獲得了一種新的討論方式：不必再糾纏在繪畫的傳統(tǒng)和所處的地域文化背景中，來判斷藝術(shù)的價值。這并不意味著繪畫與其特定的傳統(tǒng)和地域文化背景無關(guān)，只是這種關(guān)聯(lián)在今天已經(jīng)發(fā)生了重大的變化。中國當代藝術(shù)在全球化背景下的文化特性與在中國本位下的文化特性，是完全不同的看待文化的方式。后者所牽帶出來的永無止境的中外錯位，使中國文化永遠與其他文化處于相對主義的對峙之中。在這種對峙中，不是在強調(diào)概念化的民族性中忽略了中國文化的自我更新，就是熱衷于轉(zhuǎn)譯他者而完全失語。全球化給了所有文化一個機會，把世界建立在尊重個人生命價值的基礎(chǔ)上。無論何種文化，是否尊重個人的生命價值都是在此全球化過程中最大的挑戰(zhàn)。李大方、石心寧、張小濤、付泓的繪畫作品，該當是應(yīng)全球化之運而生，也許他們的作品意味著中國當代藝術(shù)正在勾畫的新路線圖。
