蔡志松先生的作品让我们震动，作品是非常明确的现代艺术，但却同时深深植根于中国的历史与文化之中，同时又赋予其一个新的灵魂，所以他很自然的获得了2001年巴黎秋季沙龙的泰勒大奖这一殊荣。他的作品是历史与现代的完美结合，既体现了艺术家对多种技艺的掌握，又表现出不墨守成规的特点，用一种内在和含蓄的感染力来结合了传统与现代。毫无疑问，这些作品使我们心灵激荡。

　　各种文化的对话和相互之间的丰富与充实是必要的。如果艺术的创新不能够完全逃避它们的共性，那么对于艺术家来讲应该把这个共性看作一个过程，而不是承受一种难以忍耐的历史必然性。蔡志松先生就是处在这个环境里，这位艺术家唤起了我们的深思，他向我们巧妙地暗示了一个新的艺术道路，这个实践过程将是绝对可以取代单纯视觉上的愉悦。

　　The works of Cai Zhisong intrigue us. They are truly contemporary. At the same time they have deeper roots in Chinese culture and history. This latter dimension rewards them with a spiritual feel. Accordingly the artist received the TAYLOR Prize at the Prize Salon d' Automne in 2001. Simultaneously those sculptures confront us with memory and modernity. They might look frozen in time but this perception is deceiving. They rely on tension between complementary poles. It is this undefined feeling that our emotions find their "feedback".

　　Civilizations have no dialogue and must interact to survive. The tides of globalization have reached the shores of culture but should not be undergone as a "fatality". On the contrary the artist has the ability to turn determinism upside down and to mould globalization into a more acceptable and diverse dynamic. Cai Zhisong invites us to consider an alternative to Fukuyama's "The End of History". His familiarity with paradox provides us a remedy against the threat of advancing monocausalism.
