Foreword

一代人留给世界的身影，丰满有之，清癯有之，风姿各异，不一而足。光阴驰过，唯有那些镌刻于笔墨诗情上的审美烙印光彩熠熠，成为一个时代心灵永不磨灭的歌咏与守望。

20世纪七八十年代，在新与旧交替、禁闭与开放互置的日子里，一代人的出生与成长为转型期的中国注入了新鲜、蓬勃的血液。这是过渡的一代，亦是开创的一代。乌托邦式的激情畅想在这一代人的旅程中沿途消失，传统和当代却经不间断的探索与对接走向新生的未来。彷徨、迷惘、冲突、抉择……当一切浸入毫端，世情与人心的模样便在那薄如蝉翼的纸素上舒展开来：这里有对物化社会的冷峻目光，亦有对文心净土的执着护念；这里有对宏大叙事的自然疏离，更有对自我性灵的终极关怀。身经裂变的矛盾挣扎终化为一股巨大张力，支撑“70后”“80后”笔墨创造打通古今内外之隔，拥有无可限量的未来空间。

作为画坛新锐势力，“70后”“80后”画家以其逐渐成熟的艺术风格在当代美术慷慨激昂的“合唱”中完成了一次又一次优美和声，而2015年度，他们在《艺术沙龙》四季主题中登台“独唱”。来自两岸三地的青年画家聚首于此，切磋艺事，畅叙幽怀，共同为读者展现属于这个时代的风神情愫和独一无二的心灵印记……

One generation leaves various shadows to the world， some are plump and some are thin. As time goes by， only the aesthetic impression engraved on the painting and poem is still shining to become the eternal song and expectation deep in the heart of an era.

In the 1970s and 1980s， in the days of transition from the old to the new and exchange between confinement and openness， the birth and growth of one generation infuse new blood to China in the transitional period. This is both the transitional generation and the creative generation. Utopian passionate imagination disappeared during the journey of this generation， but the tradition and contemporary era moved towards the new future after continuous exploration and communication. Hesitation， confusion，conflict and choice…when everything is drawn under the brush-pen， the look of life and heart will be unfolded on the cicada’s wings-like paper： there are stern sight to the material society and persistent protective feeling for pure literature land； spontaneous alienation from grand narration； and ultimate concern to self-consciousness and individual character. Eventually， all the confusions and struggles experienced are turned to a great force to support the post-70s and post-80s to create works that break the barrier between ancient and modern art and provide a limitless future space.

As new power in painting world， the post-70s and post-80s artists completed excellent harmonies over and over in the impassioned “chorus” of contemporary fine art with their increasing mature artistic style. Furthermore， they will make “solo” in the four seasons-themed “concert” of Art Salon. Young artists from all over China meet here to exchange experience of artistic creation， pour out their inward feelings and present together the spirit， sentiment and the unique heart imprint of the era for the appreciators…
