事件2008 — 呂山川作品展

　　展期：12月28日－1月5日

　　地點(diǎn)：2號(hào)館2層展廳

　　呂山川在2008年的藝術(shù)生活仍然延續(xù)著用繪畫的方式敘述現(xiàn)實(shí)的方法，由此構(gòu)成了《事件2008》的系列作品。如同2007年一樣，在他的工作室里，只有報(bào)紙和畫布兩種東西，或者說只有新聞與畫面兩種東西。他的全部生活就在現(xiàn)實(shí)的記錄與藝術(shù)的創(chuàng)造這兩個(gè)最單純的端點(diǎn)之間，他的精神狀態(tài)與藝術(shù)熱情則始終圍繞著將兩種事物聯(lián)系在一起。

　　但是，《事件2008》又是有自己的年度主題的，這是呂山川以新聞為媒介這種繪畫方式的新進(jìn)展。在《事件2007》中，我們可以看到他取材的多樣化，他的關(guān)注點(diǎn)比較多地受到世界范圍內(nèi)多種新聞事件的吸引，然而，在2008年這一整年中，他的關(guān)注點(diǎn)放在了中國(guó)，《事件2008》也因此可以說就是“事件中國(guó)”。

　　同樣，在藝術(shù)表現(xiàn)力上，呂山川的《事件2008》也有新的進(jìn)展。他的作品仍然尺幅巨大，但是，在其中投入的語(yǔ)言密集程度更高了，對(duì)畫面視覺效果特別是“繪畫性”的追求也更集中了。呂山川的才能在于他具有極強(qiáng)的繪畫造型能力，在表現(xiàn)性語(yǔ)言的施展上可以說達(dá)到筆隨心運(yùn)、淋漓酣暢的程度。

　　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.
