提及写实画派，我们不免会寻找其与现实主义绘画的某种联系。在中国写实画派的这种共性中，王沂东的油画拥有自己微妙敏感的语言。在他的笔下，一种自然流露的浪漫主义透过被凝固的生活瞬间传达出恰如其份的情境。这份情境不是苦难，是平常生活里人性最恒久的因素——乐观的生活态度。

来自沂蒙山区的一情一景，一人一物，艺术家用严谨的造型、单纯明快的色调展现出一个极富东方神韵的艺术世界。在寂静的旷野中，沂蒙山下的村庄沉静着，蒙昧初开的少女带着原始的温情和寂寞莫名的期待着，而新婚燕尔的少妇在冬日的肃静中憧憬着，它牵动了我们心底深处最朴素的柔情。民间的大红、阳光、静默的黑、美丽的乡村少女是王沂东绘画中反复使用的语言，从这样的集合里我们寻觅到一份乡土的、温情的、宁静的、唯美的感动。时光流逝，在写实技法的探索和深化过程中，王沂东将忧伤渐渐淡去留下的就是温存与渴望。

乡村是人类最初的家园，也是人类最终的归宿。即使肉体漂泊在他乡，最后的灵魂依然要回归乡野。王沂东曾是中国大陆改革开放后第一批留美画家之一，然而在纽约那段日子里，他感觉自己失去了创作赖以生存的土壤和空气，翌年便断然打起行囊，回归故里。回国后，他在艺术创作上开始转向，在技法和审美表达上全面借鉴家乡沂蒙山区的文化传统，将留美时接触到大师作品的古典情调和现代意识结合在一起。

本次展览展出了王沂东自1986年以来的各阶段代表作品。作品将涵盖油画、版画及创作手稿，并通过这些多元的视觉逻辑来呈现艺术家一直在进行的对西方古典绘画与中国传统绘画和民间艺术相结合的艺术探索。

王沂东的画像一首源自悠远山区的歌，吟唱着对中国纯朴民间文化的赞美与留念。

As to China Realism Oil Painting, we can’t help asking about its relationship with Actualism. Though share the general characters of China Realism Oil Painting, Wang Yidong’s works still have their own subtle artistic expression. His paintings, with a kind of natural romanticism, convey the scenes appropriately through the freeze-frames of life. Those scenes are totally not associated with disasters, but the most timeless element of daily life—an optimistic outlook on life.

The artist describes the landscapes, persons, things and passions with his excellent techniques and lively colors to lead us to a world of the Orient Spirit. In silent wilderness, under Mount Yimeng, stands the village. An innocent girl is looking forward to something with her virgin passion and loneliness while a bride is longing for something in the silence of winter. They find the most pure emotions deep in our heart. Folk red, sunshine, silent black, beautiful country girls are frequent elements in Wang Yidong’s works. In such a world, we can find those rustic, cozy, silent, beautiful feelings. As time goes by, Wang Yidong weakens woes gradually, just leaves passions and hopes, during his exploration of realistic techniques.

Countryside is the original paradise of human beings, also the final habitat. Though their bodies are drifting in the foreign lands, their souls will go home in the end. Wang Yidong is a member of the first group of returned artists from America. But when he was in America, he felt that he lost his Muse—the air and soil in his motherland. Then the next year, he packed his clothes and caught a plane to fly home. After he came back to China, he began to convert himself to another style which is tightly related to Yimeng Mountain Area traditional culture to combine it with western master pieces he saw in US both technically and aesthetically.

This exhibition will present Wang Yidong’s works since 1986, including oil painting, giclees and sketches, to show the logic of the artist's creation, during his exploration of the fusion of western classical painting, Chinese traditional painting and folk art.

Wang Yidong’s work is a song from the remote mountain area, always for the modest Chinese folk art.
