乱，是一种精彩

尘世间，芸芸众生百相，林林总总，蔚为大观；
放眼望，夭夭红颜千姿，形形式式，各领风骚。

如爱情是文学永恒的主题一样，女性则是画家所钟爱的母题。这次画展的作品，是一组关于女性题材的油画，画家笔下的女人有从男性视觉出发去感觉，也有以女性立场出发来自视，然都不外乎籍女性这个特定对象，去理解和思考这个世界，尤其是女性世界的千姿百态，我们姑且称之为“红颜乱象”。
“红颜乱象”，一个“乱”字道出了多元世界中女性的各种生存状态。这里可以看到，女性本是温婉、优雅、纯洁和美丽的，但在社会规条的教化或压抑下，在价值观错位导致物欲横流的影响下，在自然本性与规范限制难以求得平衡的状态下，女人也就具有了多重的性格和多副面孔：她们可以柔情似水，也可以意志如钢；她们可以在时尚前沿妆扮自己，也可以偏安一隅枯守寂寥；她们可以是温柔可爱的天使，也可以是魔鬼的化身。戴面具、玩手枪、铁丝缠身、戴胶乳罩、面印五星……这种种发生在女人身上的乱象，无不是当代社会多元观念造就的多种表象，与传统一元社会一元观念相比，其影响和变化都是颠覆性的。
走近作品也是走近女人。我们看到，画家笔下的女人，不管是写实的，还是夸张、变形的，都想象丰富而奇特，画家都力图将自己对生活的感悟在画面的构图、色块的浓淡、细节的处理等技法中表现出来，将情绪传达在画面上，表现出对环境的无奈，对痛苦的关怀，对幸福的向往。女性不仅是一个性别符号，而是作为一个人而存在，更是作为一个个体而存在，千差万别的个性及其价值观和审美观，都有其存在的合理性，这种“乱象”其实在一个包容社会中，谁能说不是一种百花齐放、千姿万态的精彩呢？从这个意义上说，本次画展作品的象征性和表现性，能激发起人们在情感上产生共鸣，引起视觉及至内心的撼动。

Chaos is wonderful

In this temporal world, there are numerous appearances of all beings, which is a sight to see.
Looking around, beautiful women have various postures，one competing with others for leadership.

Like love is the eternal theme in literature, female is the artists favorite motif. The works showed in this exhibition is a set of female-subject paintings. Some figures are felt from the angle of men, and some from themselves. But they all take the female as the particular objects to understand and think the world, especially the various postures of women, which we call “Chaos Of The Beautiful Women”.

The “chaos” accurately had represented all kinds of existential states of women in the pluralistic society. Here, women should have been gentle, refined, pure and beautiful, but owing to the cultivation, the oppression of social rules and the influence of the acquisitive society caused by misunderstanding of values, women have multiple personalities and different faces after their own nature and the restrictions of propriety can not obtain a balance. They can be tender as water, or tough as steel. They can dress up themselves following the latest vogue, or stay alone at a corner. They can be as tender and lovely as angel, or as wicked as devil. Wearing masks, playing guns, being tied up by the wire, wearing plastic bras, imprinting five stars on the face, all these are the random phenomena made by the pluralism of contemporary society. These influence and change are subversive, compared with the traditional unitary society and unitary idea.

Approaching the works is approaching women. We can see that the women in the paintings are imaginative and oddity, no matter they are realistic or exaggerated or twisted. The artists tried hard to represent their understanding of life through picture composition, shade of color, treatment of details, etc. They express their emotions through the paintings, showing their helplessness of environment, their concern about sufferings, and their longing for happiness. Female is not only a sexual symbol, but also exist as a person or even as an individual. Different personalities, values and senses of beauty have their rationality to exist. This “chaos” exists in an inclusive society. Who knows but that it is a excellent state of “letting a hundred flowers bloom” or “having varied types and poses”?  In this sense, the symbolization and expressivity of the works in this exhibition can make the emotion produce resonance in the mankind, bring you the strong visual impact and the shock of your heart.
