前言

人类有一种超物质的精神需要。例如：“秀色可餐”：看到美女可以不吃饭了。还指山水、图画、许多视觉之经验，常常触动我们的敏感神经，类似“绕梁三日而余音未绝”，观者就是在享受审美的精神“大餐”。

     “鲜肤一何润，秀色若可餐”晋代陆机最早抒发这样的审美体验。无独有偶，英文中”she is a dish.”她是一盘菜，实指“她很美”，与“秀色可餐”有异曲同工之妙。显而易见，在感觉上人类是共通的，超越人种、语言、知识、环境的界限。

宇宙分秒处在不停的运动变化之中。人类手执爱和智慧的双刃剑在无常的罗网中奔突超越。面对焦虑、混乱、分裂、抗拒；面对环境污染、资源短缺、种种天灾人祸，我们意识到，许多方面无力把控。惟自身生命的完善健康是真正解脱的根本。命运对于我们来说能够掌控的那一部分，便是性格。生命的星球，判断是方向，选择决定了它的轨迹。这棵大树，祛除障碍的枝蔓，本性显现，即生统一成长的力量。真、爱、明、智。心灵有了秩序，社会便有了秩序。而秩序建立在感性和对感性的超越。

    从“食色性也”，到“秀色可餐”，能够以通感将实际需要转化成一种精神享受，是人类对自身物质性的超越。人类也以有这样的超拔能力而殊胜，尊贵。这种曼妙的体验，是无限的馈赠，自由敏感的心灵可以体味。艺术家创作时就是在一种纯粹的状态下，通过对微妙的，丰富的美感把握，享受着输出的快感。观者欣赏艺术品时同样是一个再创造的过程，分享着精神的盛宴。

让我们一起来分享此次展览。人、画以及来自每个心灵的文字，全方位展现，你会感到美不胜收。

 一组秀色山水呈现眼前。其一看点是童真幻境：红树率性地涂鸦，《我们结婚吧》及《偷窥》，这些来自童真内心的“小秘密”，如雨后新吐的嫩芽，散发着清新美妙的生命韵味；李雳的对眼《娃娃》，机械地游离在积木垒筑的童话世界，有一种单纯的沉迷，同时透露着内心角落深深的忧郁和孤独；巫女的世界有一种单纯奇异的美，在这个世界有舒展，清妙的音乐和爱恋，也有些许不安和恐惧；王佑灵的画在梦幻和现实之间，绽放着象波特莱尔《恶之花》般奇异诡丽的光彩；

米娅的《镜子破了》《洗澡之歌》中无眼的少女在梦境破灭之后，乖巧地不去正视，仍然沉浸在细腻柔美的情调体验之中；而纪小峰的少女眼神俏皮娇媚游离，粉红的心情，游春的气息。这就是第二看点的女人味。

马艳泠的《梦露》则把一种香艳性感隐藏在一层细腻若丝网的理性笔触之后，显示出一个成熟女人的视角，及对美的直接感悟和向往，轻纱挡不住的是蓬勃的生命力；郝丽作品中温暖的色彩以及饱满流畅的线条造型，向我们展示丰腴鲜活的生活场景；赵碧琴《青春密语》轻松自在，有种极美的韵律感以及神秘高雅的味道；陶思睿的《春》《夏》，天青的《一样的权力》《自然蓬勃》从一个不常规的视角审视女人和男人，以及对神圣生命之门顶礼，那是“本来无一物，何以染尘埃”的纯粹和坦然。这当然是我们的第三看点了—性感！

第四个看点当然是自我—酷毖了。赵跃画中醒着，总是睁着的眼睛透着一种冷漠的情绪，与浓烈的色彩形成强烈的反差。浓情如伊，理性在寻觅；刘作瑞将旺盛的生命激情通过画面抒发，有对话语权的渴望和蔑视这样一种丰富复杂的内心反照；赵俊涛在理性空间捕捉着自我与虚幻的搏击；许琦的城市罗列着冷静的秩序之美；林林兮同样静寂的世界中升腾起希望之‘花’； 洪帆有细腻独特的民族特色；蔡一了总是在充满张力的神秘世界游弋；徐春丽，苏静的画，借物抒怀，个性独立；徐妍的裙子从一个视角诠释着属于女人的韵致；伊慧画中尽显雍容富丽的气质；而陈鱼的《或许是天使》充满诗意浪漫，空灵大气！

这第五看点是母性。郎小杞和刘惠都以幼儿作为自己情感的承载。所不同的是刘惠的画，婴儿成了她幻想的天堂和上帝，充满了母性的柔情和爱的甜美；而小杞画中的孩子是一盏希望之灯，整个画面显得现实，沉郁，我们在幽幽中似乎听到生命强劲的脉搏。

看到了，这是一个不容忽视的女人的世界，她从一个角度诠释着生命的真义，散播着美和爱的种子，推动着文明的进程。

这只是一个开始，却是永恒的瞬间。

Profile

Human being has spiritual needs which surpass physical needs. For example, “(she’s) so beautiful to be a dish to enjoy”- I can eat nothing when I see a beauty. It also refers to the nature, pictures, lots of visual experience which touch our sensitive nerves frequently, such as ‘nice sound lingering the roof for 3 days and still continue’. The viewer is enjoying the esthetic spiritual ‘banquet’.

     “Her skin is the freshest and the most beautiful, and she is so beautiful to be a dish to enjoy” is first expressed by Lu Ji for such an esthetic experience (in Jin dynasty). And the same in English ‘she is a dish’ actually refers to ‘she is beautiful’, that is the same as “she’s so beautiful to be edible”. So we can see obviously, human being’s feeling is common all around the world, surmounting racial, linguistic, knowledge and environmental boundaries.

The universe is always changing and moving unceasingly in every second. Humanity holds a double-edged sword with love and wisdom to rush in the uncertain toils to surmount. Facing anxiety, chaos, fission, resistance; facing the environmental pollutions, shortage of resources, all sorts of natural and man-made disasters, we realize that there are many aspects which we cannot control. The perfection and health of our own lives are the basis of true salvations. To us, character is those part of destiny which we can control. In the globe of life, your judgment determines your directions, your choice decide your path. This big tree, rid of its barrier branches, show its nature, that is the force of growth - truth, love, wisdom. When the soul has an order, then the society has an order. And order is established in perceptions and the surmounting of perceptions.

The way from “appetite for food and sex is nature” to “she is so beautiful to be a dish to enjoy” can transform actual needs in common feelings into spiritual enjoyments, and it is the human’s surmounting of materiality. The humanity is honored by having such outstanding ability. This kind of wonderful experience is a boundless and infinite gift which a free and sensitive soul may appreciate. When an artist creates his art works, he is under a pure state. By managing delicate and abundant esthetic senses, an artist enjoys the pleasance of sensational outputs. When a viewer appreciates an artwork, it is also a recreation process to share a spiritual grand feast.

Let us share this exhibition together. As men, paintings and words from each heart extend themselves from all directions, you will feel there are so many beautiful items to grasp. A group of natural sceneries presents in front of you. One scenic spot is naive fairyland: Hong Shu doodles straightforwardly. "We Marry" and "Peep", those “small secrets” coming from the childhood innermost feelings, are sending out fresh and wonderful life flavors like newly spits tender shooting after the rain. Li Li’s cross-eyed "Baby", drifting around mechanically within the fairy tale world built in the building block ramparts, has a sort of simple obsession and simultaneously discloses the innermost deep loneliness and melancholy feelings. Witch's world has a kind of pure and bizarre beauty, in which there is comfortable and wonderful music and love, as well as anxiety and fear. Between illusion and reality, Wang Youling’s painting is shining out exotic brilliance like Baud Lysle’s "Wicked Flower".

The young girl without eyes in Mi Ya’s "Mirror Broke" and "The Song During Shower" cleverly avoid confronting her reality after her dream is broken and remains immerging herself in exquisite and gentle experiences. At the same time, in Ji Xiaofeng’s paintings, you can find smart and charming eyesight, fresh and colorful moods, and breathes of the spring season from a typical young girl. That is the second scenic spot of feminine qualities.

Ma Yan Ling’s " Monroe" conceals a kind of romantic sexuality behind rational fine brushwork as fine as a silk screen, demonstrating a mature woman's visual angle and the direct sense of and yearning for beauty, while the fine gauze cannot block the vigorous vitality. In Hao Li’s work, warm colors and full smooth line modeling expose a lively life scene to us. Zhao Biqin "Secret Words of Youth" is relaxing and comfortable, in which you can find an extremely beautiful sense of rhythm as well as a mysteriously elegant flavor. Tao Sirui’s "Spring" and "Summer" together with Tian Qing’s "The Same Authority" and "Natural and Vigorous" examine men and women in a unconventional point of view, as well as kneel down to the gate of the sacred life. That is pure and unperturbed as expressed in the idiom “There is originally nothing, how can it be dusted?’ This is certainly our third spot - sexy!

The fourth point of view is certainly extremely cool by itself. An inhospitality mood is reflected in the awakened, always opening eyes in Zhao Yue’s paintings, which forms a striking contrast with the strong colors. With a deep affection like you, the rationality is searching around. Liu Zuorui expresses vigorous vitality through her paintings, in which there is a complex innermost reflection of feelings between thirsts for the power of words and despise of the same. Zhao Jun Tao is catching the strikes between his very self and illusions within the space of rationality. The cities in Xu Qi’s works pile and display the beauty of order in the state of tranquility. In Lin Lin Xi’s paintings a flower of hope blooms in a similarly silent world. Hong Fan has a unique ethnic characteristic. Cai Yi Liao always patrols in the mystical world filled with tension. Paintings of Xu Chunli and Su Jing express inner feelings by external objects in an independent character. The skirt of Xu Yan annotates women’s taste from a point of view. Yi Hui’s painting reveals the graceful and splendid temperament. Meanwhile Chen Yu’s "Perhaps Angel" is filled with the poetic and romantic sentiment in an elusive atmosphere!

This fifth scenic spot is motherhood. Both Lang Xiaoqi and Liu Hui takes infants as their carrier of emotions. The difference lies in Liu Hui's paintings, in which babies become her heaven and God which she fantasizes, filled with maternal tenderness and sweet love. Meanwhile in Lang Xiao Qi’s painting, baby is the light of hope, and reality and gloomy appears in the entire picture appears. It seems that we can hear the pulse of vigorous life in the dark.

As we saw, that is a woman's world that cannot be neglected. She annotates the real meanings of life in her own angle, spreads the seeds of aesthetics and loves, and pushes the process of the civilization.

This is only the beginning, but is also an eternal instance.
