面对机械智能化的今天，我们的生活节奏紧张而又快速。古人诗中“孤舟蓑笠翁，独钓寒江雪”的悠然、自我的和谐境界，恐怕是离我们十分遥远了。我们关注物质，而少于关注生活；我们追求品位，而未必懂得如何去欣赏；我们崇拜艺术，而只把她作为身份地位的符号。最残酷的是：我们每天在生活，而生活地并不够美好。

一屋不扫何以扫天下？已经每日承受众多的平凡和机械，还能让生活继续苍白下去吗？艺美画廊希望通过本次展览，让观众体会到艺术家眼中各种美好的“艺境”。以此相告：环境艺术美化的不仅仅是外在的空间、建筑，更是通过人们对美的感受，来唤起内心深处对生活的热爱，对美好生命品质的回归。

Introduction to the “ ARTMIA Living” Exhibition

Surrounded by numerous intellectual machines, we are living our lives at an increasingly hectic tempo today. There is an ancient Chinese poem unveiling a leisurely and harmonious picture: “an old man in his straw cape and hat sitting in a single boat, alone in the snow, fishing in the freezing and snowy river.” It seems like a Utopia so distant away from real life. Today, we are obsessed with material achievement, with little concerned for life; we are in endless pursuit of high quality, but with no idea how to appreciate it; we cherish deep respect to art, but only regard it as a symbol of social status. The most brutal truth lies in the fact that we are living our lives daily, but not nicely.

As an old Chinese saying goes, how can one be ambitious and capable of sweeping to victory if he even does not bother to sweep his own room? Having been exposed to endless mechanized arrangements every day, how can we continue to bear such a tasteless and monotonous life? ARTMIA Gallery hopes that by visiting this exhibition audience can have a unique experience in appreciating a variety of wonderful “ARTMIA Living” seen from the eyes of the artists. A message is conveyed by the exhibition: not only does the environmental art beautify external space and architecture, but also the feeling of beauty will arouse people’s passion for life at the bottom of their heart, evoking a return to moral virtues as well.
