卷首語

一代人留給世界的身影，豐滿有之，清癯有之，風姿各異，不一而足。光陰馳過，唯有那些鐫刻于筆墨詩情上的審美烙印光彩熠熠，成為一個時代心靈永不磨滅的歌詠與守望。

20世紀七八十年代，在新與舊交替、禁閉與開放互置的日子里，一代人的出生與成長為轉型期的中國注入了新鮮蓬勃的血液。這是過渡的一代，亦是開創(chuàng)的一代。烏托邦式的激情暢想在這一代人的旅程中沿途消失，傳統(tǒng)和當代卻經不間斷的探索對接走向新生的未來。彷徨、迷惘、沖突、抉擇……當一切浸入毫端，世情與人心的模樣便在那薄如蟬翼的紙素上舒展開來：這里有對物化社會的冷峻目光，亦有對文心凈土的執(zhí)著護念；這里有對宏大敘事的自然疏離，更有對自我性靈的終極關懷。身經裂變的矛盾掙扎終化為一股巨大張力，支撐“70后”“80后”筆墨創(chuàng)造打通古今內外之隔，擁有無可限量的未來空間。

作為畫壇新銳勢力，“70后”“80后”畫家以其逐漸成熟的藝術風格在當代美術慷慨激昂的“合唱”中完成了一次又一次優(yōu)美和聲，而2015年度，他們在《藝術沙龍》四季主題中登臺“獨唱”。來自兩岸三地的青年畫家聚首于此，切磋藝事，暢敘幽懷，共同為讀者展現著屬于這個時代的風神情愫和獨一無二的心靈印記……

One generation leaves various shadows to the world， some are plump and some are thin. As time goes by， only the aesthetic impression engraved on the painting and poem is still shining to become the eternal song and expectation deep in the heart of an era.

In the 1970s and 1980s， in the days of transition from the old to the new and exchange between confinement and openness， the birth and growth of one generation infuse new blood to China in the transitional period. This is both the transitional generation and the creative generation. Utopian passionate imagination disappeared during the journey of this generation， but the tradition and contemporary era moved towards the new future after continuous exploration and communication. Hesitation， confusion， conflict and choice…when everything is drawn under the brush-pen， the look of life and heart will be unfolded on the cicadas wings-like paper： there are stern sight to the material society and persistent protective feeling for pure literature land； spontaneous alienation from grand narration； and ultimate concern to self-consciousness and individual character. Eventually， all the confusions and struggles experienced are turned to a great force to support the post-70s and post-80s to create works that break the barrier between ancient and modern art and provide a limitless future space.

As new power in painting world， the post-70s and post-80s artists completed excellent harmonies over and over in the impassioned “chorus” of contemporary fine art with their increasing mature artistic style. Furthermore， they will make “solo” in the four seasons-themed “concert” of Art Salon. Young artists from all over China meet here to exchange experience of artistic creation， pour out their inward feelings and present together the spirit， sentiment and the unique heart imprint of the era for the appreciators…
