夢 （陶瓷） 弗拉基米爾·奧德列謝夫斯基 Dream (ceramics) Vladimir Odlesivsky

博大的第聶伯河，雄偉的普明格教堂，朦朧的利沃夫，耀眼的喀爾巴阡山，神秘的洞窟修道院，寧靜的絲綢古道，破舊的老火車站，生機盎然的小城……一處處烏克蘭獨特的風景被定格在一幅幅畫作中，仿佛向觀者講述著烏克蘭悠久燦爛的歷史，讓人駐足久久不肯離去。

11月10日至30日，由中央美術學院、烏克蘭國立美術與建筑學院、北京市總工會、中國電力傳媒集團聯(lián)合主辦，中央美術學院絲綢之路藝術研究協(xié)同創(chuàng)新中心、太廟藝術館承辦的“第聶伯之會——中烏當代美術展”在太廟藝術館展出。本次展覽共展出由烏克蘭23位藝術家創(chuàng)作的70余件（組）作品和中國24位藝術家創(chuàng)作的100余件作品。這些作品是在8月中央美術學院組織的寫生團和烏克蘭利沃夫、喀爾巴阡山、基輔三地的藝術家共同在烏克蘭游歷、交流、探討之后，最終創(chuàng)作出來的。兩國畫家通過油畫、水彩、版畫、速寫、紙本水墨、色彩膠版等種種繪畫形式，呈現(xiàn)出各自眼中烏克蘭唯美的風土人情。

兩種視角碰撞，共畫烏克蘭風情

“每個偉大的民族都依傍著一條偉大的母親河，中國有黃河，烏克蘭有第聶伯河，它們都孕育了古老而燦爛的文化。在本次創(chuàng)作活動中，中國和烏克蘭的畫家們聚集到一起，通過各自的視角描繪烏克蘭面貌，也是兩種文化合流的表現(xiàn)。 ”中國美協(xié)副主席、中央美院院長范迪安說。

寫生期間，中國的藝術家分別走訪了利沃夫、喀爾巴阡山、基輔三地，并邀請當?shù)孛佬g家共同交流，不但與之增進友誼，也使得兩種繪畫思路得到碰撞，擦出了奇妙的藝術火花。對于中國的畫家來說，烏克蘭是陌生的，而作為著名的文化遺產(chǎn)城市，利沃夫擁有極為豐富的文化遺產(chǎn)，其密集的古典建筑群激發(fā)了他們的創(chuàng)作靈感。當中國的審美品格和烏克蘭的古典氣質(zhì)相遇，《晨曦中的利沃夫》《利沃夫市政廣場》《老火車站》等作品便彌漫著一種別致的審美情調(diào)，在寫實中蘊含著虛化的趨向。作為“客人”，中國的畫家多用新奇的視角來看烏克蘭，《喀爾巴阡山下的農(nóng)舍》《洞窟修道院》等作品充滿著濃濃的神秘感，其線條和用色都大膽、清奇，像一個個童話故事一般。而《第聶伯之光》《望見第聶伯》等描繪第聶伯河的作品又無比寧靜安詳，仿佛代表了中國畫家對烏克蘭母親河的敬重。相較之下，烏克蘭畫家筆下的家鄉(xiāng)則更多了一份熟悉感。他們更多把關注點投射到小的角落，以小見大，無論是《灰色的小屋》《晚霞》，還是《冬季交響樂》《哥薩克》，都在一景一象中表達了作者對故鄉(xiāng)的熱愛。兩種視角的交織、交流，共同譜寫了本次展覽中多變而又統(tǒng)一的烏克蘭風情。

除了自然景觀和歷史人文景象，古代絲綢之路留下的中烏文化交流故事和今日烏克蘭的藝術教育、藝術發(fā)展都成為兩國藝術家暢談的話題，通過這些實在的交談，兩國的畫家增進了感情，也進一步影響著作品的創(chuàng)作。

文藝譜寫“一帶一路”新篇章

為響應國家“一帶一路”倡議，中央美術學院于2015年設立了絲綢之路藝術研究協(xié)同創(chuàng)新中心，與“絲路”沿線國家開展多種形式的文化交流。中心的一個持續(xù)性項目為“相約絲綢之路系列展覽”，每年邀約一個國家的國家級美術教育機構或者藝術機構共同開展兩國藝術家之間的交流，采取聯(lián)合寫生與合作辦展的方式進行。

4月，在中國駐烏克蘭大使館的支持下，中央美術學院策劃組織了“絲路新象”藝術展，成為中烏建交25周年活動的重要項目，受到烏克蘭觀眾的好評。同時，中央美術學院與烏克蘭國立美術與建筑學院簽訂了互為友好合作學校的協(xié)議，共同促進兩國之間的美術交流。本次展覽就是此系列的重要展覽之一。正如范迪安所說：“在‘一帶一路’的政策下，通過文藝的力量，推動中國和烏克蘭在文化上的合作，從而促進兩國關系更近一步，是我們一直堅持要做的事。兩國的藝術家們不僅在創(chuàng)作上相互學習，也在美術教育、美術理念、美術研究等多個方面進行了深入的研討?！蔽幕慕涣魇蔷袷澜绲慕涣?，與物質(zhì)上的合作有著不同的面貌，也有著自身明顯的優(yōu)勢?！耙粠б宦贰边M行到今天，應該重視文化上與沿線國家的更深層次的合作?！拔覀儗⒋舜沃袨醍敶佬g展設立在擁有600年歷史的太廟，是具有一定的象征意義的。在強調(diào)文化交流的今天，緊隨‘一帶一路’的步伐，讓兩國藝術家進行精神上的交流，也是我們一直以來的期望?！敝袊娏髅郊瘓F黨委書記、董事長顧平表示。

“藝術是沒有邊界的，本次兩國藝術家之間的寫生交流和其作品的展出，都向中國展示了烏克蘭的風土人情，這是我們一直期待的，也希望以后我們在文化上、藝術上能進行更深一步的合作和交流。”烏克蘭文化部第一副部長法緬科·斯維特連娜說。

The great Dnieper, magnificent Boyim Chapel in Lviv,obscure Льв?в, dazzling Carpathian Mountains, mysterious caves monastery, peaceful silk road, dilapidated old train stations and exuberant towns…… all the unique landscapes of Ukraine are framed in the paintings as if they were informing the viewers with the country’s splendid history.

Meeting in Dnieper--- China-Ukraine Contemporary Art Exhibition has been held at the Imperial Ancestral Temple Art Museum on 10-30, November. Co-hosted by Central Academy of Fine Arts,Ukraine National Academy of Fine Arts & Architecture, Beijing General Labor Union and China Power Media Group Co., Ltd,the event was undertaken by Co-innovation Art Creation and Research Center for Silk Road of CAFA and Imperial Ancestral Temple Art Museum. Over 70 artworks by 23 Ukraine artists and more than 100 artworks by 24 Chinese artists shown at the exhibition are eventually created by the CAFA sketching group and artists from Lviv, Carpathian Mountains and Kiev of Ukraine after traveling, exchanging and discussion. Through diversified forms of painting, such as oil painting, watercolor, print, sketch,paper ink, color offset amongst others, the artists from both countries present the aesthetical custom of Ukraine from their perspectives.

Viewed from different Perspectives, Chiese and Ukrainian Artists Painting Ukraine Customs

Every great nation relies on a great mother river, the Yellow River in China and the Dnieper in Ukraine has both cradled the ancient and splendid cultures. During this event, painters from the two sides gather together to draw the landscape of Ukraine from their own perspectives, it also symbolizes the combination of two cultures, said by Mr. FAN Di’an, Vice-chairman of China Artists Association and President of CAFA.

During the sketching, the Chinese artists have visited Lviv,Carpathian Mountains and Kiev and invited local artists to exchange views, not only deepening their friendship, but also colliding with the two types of drawing mentality with marvelous sparks of art. For painters from China, Ukraine is most strange in their eyes. However, as a famous cultural heritage city, Lviv holds very rich cultural heritage as the intensive classical architectural complex aroused their creative inspiration. When the aesthetic character of China meets with the classical temperament of Ukraine, such artworks asLviv at Dawn, Municipal Square of Lvivandthe Old TrainStation have been penetrated by a kind of unique aesthetic sentiment with tendency of virtual in realism.Being the Guests, Chinese painters looked at Ukraine in a new perspective as artworks ofFarmhouses under the Carpathian Mountains, Cavern Monastery and others were filled with a strong sense of mystery, and the bold and quaint lines and colors were telling stories like fairy tales. Moreover, theLight of Dnieper,Setting Eyes on Dnieperand other artworks of the great river were of extreme serenity and peacefulness as if they showed the respect to Ukraine’s mother river by the Chinese painters.The homeland depicted by the Ukraine artists, comparatively speaking, presented with much sense of familiarity as they cast more attention to minor corners, no matter theGrey Cottage, the Sunset Glow or the Winter Symphonyand theCossack, theyall reflected the painters’ passion for their homeland. The collision of the two perspectives has jointly showcased the changeable and unified Ukraine style in the exhibition.

Besides the natural landscape and historical and humanistic spectacles, the China-Ukraine cultural exchanges eulogized on the ancient Silk Road and the art education and development of Ukraine have been discussed by the artists, through which their connection has been further deepened with much influence on their artworks in future.

Compose a New Chapter of the Belt and Road Through Literature and Art

In response to the national "The Belt and Road" initiative, the CAFA has established the Co-innovation Art Creation and Research Center for Silk Road in 2015, dedicated to carrying out diversified cultural exchanges with countries along the Silk Road. As a sustained project, the center’s Serial Exhibitions of Silk Road invites a country’s national art educational institutions or related organizations to jointly conduct exchanges between the two countries’ artists through means of combined sketching activities and cooperative exhibitions on a yearly basis.

On April 2017, the CAFA, under the support of the Chinese Embassy in Ukraine, has successfully organized the New Phenomenon on Silk Road art exhibition, an important project for the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relationship between China and Ukraine, winning commendation from Ukraine audiences. Meanwhile, the CAFA and Ukraine National Academy of Fine Arts & Architecture have signed an agreement of institutions of friendship and cooperation committed to jointly promoting the art exchanges between the two countries, and this marks one of the most important exhibitions in this series. As Mr. FAN Di’an said, with the Belt and Road Initiative, what we have been insisting on is to push forward the cultural cooperation between China and Ukraine with purpose of further promoting bilateral relationship through power of art. Artists from the two countries not only learn from each other in artistic creation, but also deeply exchange ideas in a number of aspects, including art education, conception and research. Showing different features in material cooperation, the cultural exchange is the communication of the spiritual world with its own obvious advantages. With the Belt and Road Initiative implemented to the present time, more attention should be cast upon deeper cooperation with countries along the Silk Road concerning cultural aspect. It shoulders a certain symbolic significance as we set up the China-Ukraine contemporary art exhibition at the Imperial Ancestral Temple with a history of 600 years. As we put much emphasis on cultural exchange nowadays, together with the Belt and Road Initiative, it has been our long-time expectation that the spiritual communication should be put in place between the artists of two countries, said GU Ping, Party Secretary and President of China Power Media Group Co., Ltd.

There is no boundary in art. As we have always expected, the sketching exchanges and artworks exhibition between the two countries’ artists have shown our country’s customs to China, we also hope that further Ukraine-China culture and arts cooperation and exchanges can be realized in future,said Svitlana Fomenko, First Deputy Minister of Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture.
