  “飚墨与狂逸——旅加艺术家宣永生意象性抽象水墨展”将于2014年9月20日在今日美术馆隆重开展。本次展览是艺术家宣永生海归后首次大型个人回顾展，展览以其近年创作的《非山非水》系列为主，同时也将展出部分前期重要作品，对艺术家的创作生涯做一次系统的梳理，体现其顽强的自由本真精神。本次展览由著名诗人、艺术批评家岛子作为策展人，郝青松作为策展助理携手呈现。

     宣永生是加拿大著名华人艺术家，在水墨、插画、水印木刻及陶艺诸多艺术领域均有不凡的造诣。上世纪八十年代以来，他从大写意水墨入手，结合表现性、抽象性绘画语言，探索出属于自己风格的水墨当代性语言。在传统水墨“逸格”审美的基质上，中西融合、兼收并蓄，生成了自明、自足、持续变化的水墨语言发展逻辑，以蒙养有素的绘画功力与顽强的自由精神，开辟出自身有力量、有审美神游的艺术道路。

     本展览旨在呈现其水墨艺术的显著特色，即以抽象性、意象性之力摧毁僵化的笔墨程式的同时，又从中重建了笔墨的宏大和深远气象。其中他结合山水画、书法、西方当代绘画的特点而生成的新的书写形式尤为夺目，在笔墨精神上具有当代新气质。预计此次展览将展至9月26日，敬请期待。

The Madness, Elegance, and Thrill of Ink

Curator: Professor Daozi

Curating Assistant: Dr. Hao Qingsong

Date: September 18--26, 2014

  “The Madness, Elegance, and Thrill of Ink——The Spirit and Style of Xuan Yongsheng’s Ink Painting” opens at Today Art Museum on Sep 20^th, 2014.  The exhibition is the first retrospective exhibition of Xuan Yongsheng after his return from Canada.  The exhibition primarily includes Xuan’s later series Not Mountain Not Water and significant earlier artworks, which reflect his entire artistic career.  This show was curated by Professor Dao Zi, in collaboration with Dr. Hao Qingsong, to present the life of the artist.

Xuan Yongsheng is a Canadian Chinese artist who has distinguished artworks in multiple mediums, such as Chinese ink painting, illustration, ceramics and woodblock printing.  Since the 1980s, he has been exploring Chinese pictorial ink painting and combining it with expressionism and abstractionism to find his unique language of Modern ink art.  Inspired by the Chinese traditional ink painting aesthetics of "leisure without restraint," Xuan blends Chinese and Western elements and introduces diversity, self-awareness, self-sufficiency, and developmental logic, all of which sustain the transformation of Chinese ink painting.  He opens up an artistic path that embodies spiritual strength and aesthetic freedom with professional skills and tenacity.

The exhibition aims to introduce the remarkable characteristic of Xuan’s ink painting, which breaks through the rigid painting style by powers of abstraction and imagination, and rebuilds the grandness and profundity of ink.  The artist combines the characteristics of comprehensive landscape painting, calligraphy, and Western contemporary painting to create a new style.  The exhibition is open until September 26 and all are welcome to attend.
