前言

Preface

童年是每个人成长过程中最为珍贵的时光，那是一个充满无限想象力和梦幻色彩的世界。在这个世界里，我们可以随心所欲地探索、创造和表达自己的内心世界。本次展览正是带领我们重新进入那个不可复制的纯真时光年代，这是一次关于童年回忆和童年发展过程中的一些思考。

吴梁焰，从小受其作为教育工作者的父亲影响，在他的作品中早早就涉及有关教育课题的探索。艺术家的思想性极强，和他几次交流下来，能够深深感受到他对童年经历的向往，他以独特的雕塑语言和艺术手法，将童年的美好与那些发生在我们生命中的独特瞬间展现在我们面前。红领巾、大头娃娃是其标志性符号，作品向我们展示了他对于童年记忆的深深热爱和致敬，同时也是几代人的集体回忆和共同经历。在他夸张的艺术手法作品中，关注个体的差异和发展需求贯穿整个创作脉络，矛与盾的冲击力得到彰显。每个大头娃娃脸颊看似相似，却又各自独特，这似乎对应着每个孩子的独特性和个体发展。《好好学习》绘画系列作品，画面呈现的是从民国到近些年的小学课本，这是几代人共同的回忆，艺术家通过再创作，记录了小学课本的时代印记，既熟悉又陌生，反映了各个时代背景下的教育之改变。

​《国宝—头顶一片天》NO.1 青铜 200×110×55cm

《国宝》系列作品是艺术家对于天人合一，世界大同，人与自然和谐共生的美好向往。本次展览，荻原策展团队精选80多件雕塑、装置作品，分布于美术馆展厅内外及景区公共区域。我们希望这次展览带给大家一段独特的艺术之旅，与作品一起重新审视自己和这个世界，重拾童年的梦想和勇气。愿大家的心始终年轻，愿每个人都能找到属于自己的"童年"。

Childhood is a pivotal stage in the growth of every individual, characterized by boundless imagination and vibrant hues. Within this realm, we are free to explore, create, and express our innermost thoughts. This exhibition transports us back to that irreplaceable era of innocence, serving as a poignant reflection on childhood memories and the developmental process.

Wu Liangyan, who was influenced by his father’s role as an educator, embarked on an early exploration of educational issues in his works. The artist exhibits profound thoughtfulness, and through several exchanges with him, we can deeply sense his yearning for the experiences of childhood. Through his distinctive sculptural language and artistic techniques, he presents before us the enchanting beauty of childhood and the unique moments that shape our lives. The red scarf and big head doll serve as iconic symbols in his artistry, representing not only his deep affection and homage to childhood memories but also the collective memory and shared experiences spanning multiple generations. Within his exaggerated artistic creations, a keen attention to individual differences and developmental needs permeates the entire creative context while emphasizing the impact of both spear and shield. Although each big head baby shares similar rosy cheeks, they possess distinct characteristics mirroring every child’s singular development and individuality. The painting series Study Hard showcases primary school textbooks spanning from the Republic of China era to recent times, representing a collective memory shared by multiple generations. Through artistic recreation, the artist captures both familiar and unfamiliar imprints left on these textbooks over time, reflecting changes in educational practices

throughout different eras. Lastly, the National Treasure series embodies the artist’s profound yearning for unity between heaven and humanity, harmony within our world, as well as harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

In this exhibition, Di Yuan curatorial team has meticulously curated over 80 sculptures and installations, strategically placed both inside and outside the museum’s exhibition hall as well as in the public areas of the scenic spot. Our aim is to provide you with a truly unique artistic journey that evokes profound childhood memories and emotional resonance. Together, let us immerse ourselves in this state of innocence, reevaluate our own selves and the world through these artworks, and rediscover the dreams and courage we once possessed during our childhood years. May everyone retain their youthful spirit and find their personal “childhood” within.
