希臘當(dāng)?shù)貢r間5月10日晚，由中國美協(xié)主辦的“藝術(shù)與和平——中國當(dāng)代美術(shù)作品展”在希臘第二大城市塞薩洛尼基市馬其頓當(dāng)代藝術(shù)博物館開幕，展覽持續(xù)至5月27日。此次展覽是中國文聯(lián)、中國美協(xié)落實(shí)中國“一帶一路”倡議、推動中國文化“走出去”系列重要活動之一。中國文聯(lián)副主席李屹出席展覽開幕式。此前，李屹還在雅典專程拜會了希臘文化與體育部部長莉蒂亞·科尼奧爾都和中國駐希臘大使鄒肖力，就中國和希臘開展文學(xué)藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域機(jī)制性交流充分交換了意見并達(dá)成了多項(xiàng)共識。

受李屹委托，中國美協(xié)駐會副主席徐里在展覽開幕式上致辭。他表示，第七屆北京國際美術(shù)雙年展曾成功舉辦了希臘特展。作為對希臘特展的友好回訪，中國當(dāng)代美術(shù)展來到希臘。希望借此展覽，持續(xù)推動兩國美術(shù)事業(yè)的繁榮發(fā)展，不斷增進(jìn)兩國人民之間的友誼。希臘馬其頓大區(qū)副省長薩諾斯回顧了近年來兩國在文化旅游領(lǐng)域的密切聯(lián)系和現(xiàn)實(shí)成果，表示將繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)同中國相關(guān)方面的聯(lián)系，力爭將兩個國家悠久的文化傳統(tǒng)和燦爛的文明成果展示給全世界。

本次展覽展出40余幅作品，包含中國著名畫家圍繞“一帶一路”沿線國家風(fēng)情進(jìn)行的主題創(chuàng)作、歷屆北京國際美術(shù)雙年展所藏優(yōu)秀作品和中國中青年美術(shù)家海外研修工程成果三部分，雖然數(shù)量不多，卻以小見大。展覽用豐富的中國元素表現(xiàn)域外風(fēng)土人情和當(dāng)代中國精神，作品風(fēng)格多樣，中國畫、油畫、版畫、雕塑等藝術(shù)形式多元，從多層面呈現(xiàn)中國當(dāng)代主流美術(shù)的鮮活面貌，形象地詮釋出中華民族“以和為貴”的價值觀，以及對和平、和諧生活的美好向往與不懈追求。

此次展覽主題“藝術(shù)與和平”是中國美協(xié)在審度國際熱點(diǎn)和發(fā)展大勢，經(jīng)集體醞釀和策劃，在“中國美術(shù)世界行”項(xiàng)目框架下確立的系列展主題，自2016年啟動以來，已相繼在丹麥菲特烈堡宮、歐盟總部布魯塞爾、意大利羅馬維托里亞諾宮、赫爾辛基芬蘭地亞大廈、英國倫敦摩爾美術(shù)館和格魯吉亞國家歷史博物館等重要場館成功辦展，用中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)語匯在國際社會持續(xù)宣講和平故事。

縱觀此次作品，異域的自然景觀富有獨(dú)特的魅力，如張復(fù)興的《拉脫維亞掠影》、石峰的《馬其頓奧赫里德湖印象》、董小明的《圣托里尼·希臘》、梁時民的《羅馬尼亞佩列什王宮》等山水畫作品，以中西融合的筆墨色彩抒發(fā)了畫家的浪漫詩情。此外中國美術(shù)家描繪外國建筑的作品，如侯耀洲的《斯洛伐克首都印象》、鄭百重的《海市蜃樓》、朱道平的《遙憶布拉格》、何加林的《天空之城》、余光清的《波魯納魯瓦古城》、方向的《清邁契迪龍寺》等，在外國建筑寫生的基礎(chǔ)上，把中國畫的筆墨韻味與西畫的明暗光影相結(jié)合，創(chuàng)造了當(dāng)代中國表現(xiàn)外國建筑特別是文化遺址的“新界畫”的詩化意境?！赌柖嗤叩年柟狻肥怯纱舜未韴F(tuán)團(tuán)員之一、北京畫院青年畫家孫震生所作，作品用小寫意技法，描繪了一位摩爾多瓦少女優(yōu)美動人的舞姿，表現(xiàn)了摩爾多瓦民族能歌善舞、熱情樂觀的性格。水墨工筆《今夜不回家》是由代表團(tuán)團(tuán)員、北京畫院的青年畫家王冠軍所作，作品通過對現(xiàn)代都市青年體貌情態(tài)進(jìn)行深入而細(xì)膩的刻畫，展現(xiàn)青春期特有的青澀懵懂之美；作為工筆人物畫家，他以傳統(tǒng)畫材創(chuàng)造出超級寫實(shí)的質(zhì)感表現(xiàn)技巧，使形象更為真實(shí)、精微，富有時尚氣息。亞里士多德大學(xué)視覺應(yīng)用藝術(shù)學(xué)院院長迪瓦里斯說：“在欣賞了這么多中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)作品之后，能感受到中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)家正在努力將傳統(tǒng)與現(xiàn)代進(jìn)行融合交織，可見美術(shù)家在繪畫技藝中付出了很多努力?！闭褂[中，徐里的油畫《山高水長》頗受關(guān)注，其立足本土文化立場，借助西洋油畫材料的特性和表現(xiàn)力，將油畫融入中國山水元素的筆墨情趣和濃厚的寫意精神，創(chuàng)新發(fā)展為獨(dú)具民族文化氣質(zhì)的“寫意油畫”，開辟出中國當(dāng)代油畫的新徑。迪瓦里斯認(rèn)為，中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)之所以呈現(xiàn)這樣的面貌，是與中國所擁有的悠久歷史分不開的，中國的歷史是生動豐富的，這影響了當(dāng)代中國畫家的創(chuàng)作。這不僅是中國藝術(shù)家創(chuàng)作的根基，對于希臘來說，也是繞不開的話題。他還建議中希兩國可以開展美術(shù)家的互派駐留活動，如能成行，將為世界藝術(shù)帶來更多的創(chuàng)造性和可能性。

希臘藝術(shù)家維特洛克曾到訪中央美院等高校講學(xué)，對中國畫有較為深入的研究，他認(rèn)為中國與希臘都是擁有繪畫傳統(tǒng)的國家，但在表現(xiàn)空間上卻都沒有實(shí)現(xiàn)甚至摒棄了主流的焦點(diǎn)透視法，這其中的原因值得研究，如侯耀洲的《雅典風(fēng)情》便拋棄這一法則，而采用散點(diǎn)透視，這種藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作思維可以作為藝術(shù)發(fā)展的新方向和新趨勢。

觀眾從展覽中不難發(fā)現(xiàn)國際社會普遍關(guān)注的創(chuàng)作主題。王福順的油畫《即將消失的風(fēng)景》、彭偉的版畫《圍城之居》、李立宏的陶藝《麥當(dāng)勞-CHINA》、譚旭的雕塑《有奶油的油條》等，揭示了城市化迅猛推進(jìn)中的多元人文景觀；自北京奧運(yùn)會成功舉辦十年來，奧林匹克精神已深入民眾內(nèi)心，付作棟的雕塑《馬球》塑造了傳統(tǒng)體育的當(dāng)代形態(tài)，展現(xiàn)了藝術(shù)與運(yùn)動競技的審美關(guān)聯(lián)；還有的關(guān)注生態(tài)家園，如羅志楠的油畫《筷子樹》等，用藝術(shù)的形式呼吁人們保護(hù)生態(tài)環(huán)境，維護(hù)和建設(shè)人類賴以生存的共同家園。正如中國美協(xié)副秘書長陶勤所說，今天的中國美術(shù)已不再僅僅是對傳統(tǒng)的堅(jiān)守，同時也在突破造型語言的藩籬，跨越藝術(shù)觀念的隔閡，以一種強(qiáng)有力的方式介入當(dāng)下，參與建構(gòu)人類命運(yùn)共同體，為全球議題貢獻(xiàn)中國智慧和中國方案。“藝術(shù)與和平”這一宏大主題，反映了屬于我們民族心性的家國情懷，也飽含了實(shí)現(xiàn)和平、和睦、和諧的大同理想的美好愿景。此次展覽正是最好的注解。

More than 40 works are displayed in this exhibition, including three parts as the famous Chinese artists' themed creations based on the different national styles along the "Belt and Road"initiative, the outstanding works of the successive Beijing International Art Biennial Exhibition and the achievements of the Chinese young artists’ overseas research training project,featuring multum in parvo.The exhibition employs abundant Chinese elements to represent the exotic customs and the spirit of contemporary China. The varied style of the works includes the Chinese art, oil paintings, prints, sculptures and other art forms, presenting the lively appearance of contemporary Chinese mainstream art from multiple levels while vividly interpreting the concept of "harmony comes first"of the Chinese nation and the its longing for the peaceful and harmonious life and unremitting pursuit.

The "Arts and Peace",as the serial exhibition theme established by the Chinese Artists Association,is determined under the framework of the "China Art World Tour" project in the process of reviewing international hotspots and development trends through collective deliberation and planning.Since its launch in 2016, it has been successfully held in important venues globally,such as Frederiksborg Slot in Denmark, the EU headquarters in Brussels, Vittoriano Palace in Rome of Italy, Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, Mall Galleries in London, and the National Museum of History in Georgia, applying the languages of the Chinese contemporary art to continue to tell the story of peace in the international community.

Across all the works, exotic natural landscapes possess unique charms, such as ZHANG Fuxing'sGlimpses of Latvia,SHI Feng’sImpressions of Lake Ohrid in Macedonia, DONG Xiaoming’sSantorini·Greece, LIANG Shimin’sRomania Peles Castleand other paintings of landscape,presenting the romantic poetry of the painters with the blend of Chinese and Western ink brushwork.In addition, the Chinese artists depict works of foreign architecture, based upon which combining the Chinese ink painting with the light and dark shadows of Western paintings, creating the "New Territories Painting"that expresses foreign architecture, especially cultural sites in contemporary China, including HOU Yaozhou’sImpressions of Slovakia’s Capital, ZHENG Baizhong’sMirage of the Sea,ZHU Daoping’sRemembrance of Prague, HE Jialin’sCity of the Sky, YU Guangqing’sAncient City of Polonnaruwa,FANG Xiang’sChediLuang temple of Chiang Mai.Moldova's Sunshinewas created by SUN Zhensheng, a young painter of the Beijing Academy of Painting, one of the members of the delegation.The work employs a technique of light freehand brushwork to depict the beautiful and moving dance of a Moldovan girl,showcasing that the Moldovan people can sing and dance, and be optimistic. The Ink paintingNo Return Tonightwas made by the delegation's member and the young painter from the Beijing Academy of Painting, WANG Guanjun, showcasing the adolescent's unique sentimental and ignorant beauty through portraying the physique of the modern urban youth through in-depth and exquisite depictions.As a painter of meticulous figure painting, he used traditional painting materials to create super realistic textures to make the image more realistic, subtle and stylish.George Divaris, President of the Department of Visual and Applied Arts of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki said: "After admiring so many contemporary Chinese works of art, we can feel that Chinese contemporary artists are trying to blend tradition with modernity, showing that they have made great efforts in arts of painting." During the exhibition, XU Li’s oil paintingShan Gao Shui Changhas received much attention.Based on the stance of local culture, he used the characteristics and expressive power of Western oil painting materials to integrate the pen and ink taste of Chinese landscape elements and strong freehand spirit into oil paintings, developing it into a unique national cultural temperament "freehand oil painting"with innovation and opening up a brand-new trail of Chinese contemporary oil painting.According to Divaris, the reason why Chinese contemporary art has such an appearance is inseparable from the long history of the country, showcasing vividness and abundance which have influenced the creation of contemporary Chinese painters. This is not only the foundation for the creation of Chinese artists, but for Greece, it is also a topic that cannot be ignored.He also suggested that China and Greece could carry out the activities of the artist's mutual residency,which would bring more creativity and possibility to the world art if it works.

Greek artist Richard Whitlock had visited universities such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts to give lectures with a more in-depth study of Chinese paintings. He thought that both China and Greece had traditions in painting, but they have not realized or even abandoned the mainstream of focus perspectives in the performance space, the reasons for which are worth studying, for example, HOU Yaozhou'sAthenian Style, whichhas abandoned this rule, has used the scattered perspective, this type of artistic creation thinking can be used as a new direction and trend of art development.

It is easily found by the audiences the creative topics that are of universal concern to the international community in the exhibition. WANG Fushun's oil paintingScenery That Will Disappear, PENG Wei’s printsThe Besieged City, LI Lihong's potteryMcDonald's - CHINA, and TAN Xu's sculptureThe Creamy Chinese Donutall reveals the multi-cultural landscapein the rapid progress of urbanization. Since the successful holding of the Beijing Olympic Games a decade ago, the Olympic spirit has gone deep into people's hearts. FU Zuodong's sculpturePolohas shaped the contemporary form of traditional sports, demonstrating the aesthetic relevance of art and sports competitions; there are also works concerning ecological homes, such as LUO Zhinan's oil paintingChopsticks Treeand others employ art forms to appeal for people to protect the ecological environment, maintain and build the common homes on which human beings are relying.As the deputy secretary-general of the China Artists Association, TAO Qin said that today's Chinese art is no longer merely a commitment to tradition,it is also breaking through the barriers of modeling language, striding across the barriers of artistic conceptions, intervening in a powerful way at present,participating in building a community of shared future and contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to global issues. The grand theme of "Art and Peace" reflects the feelings of the nation and homeland that belong to our nation's heart, also containing a beautiful vision of realizing the ideal of peace, amity and harmony. This exhibition is the best comment accordingly.
