Millbrae, CA – With months of preparation, support of friends and a critically acclaimed exhibition in Tokyo last November on his resume, Bay Area, California resident, Chinese artist Jeff Lu will be holding another 8-day solo exhibition in Nan-Hai Art Center on March 22. Lu will be delivering masterpieces of arts, ushering in a new year, as a gift to those residing in Bay Area who have great ardor for arts.

There will be a total of 40 works presented in this upcoming exhibition, all of which will come from the recent creation titled “Acclamation • Affinity of Four Realms.” The inspiration for creating this series of works derives from Lu’s passion for the natural landscape. Despite centering on natural wonders as the main theme of delineation, some works portray Lu’s tacit “inner world,” thus presenting a sense of profoundness for this spectacular exhibition. The exhibition theme of “Acclamation ˙ Affinity of Four Realms” aims to show the abundance and wonders of nature which Lu hoped to share with the audience.

Making a commitment to give back to communities, Lu will offer one symbolic work “Midnight Forest,” among the series of “Acclamation ˙ Affinity of Four Realms” to the Fremont Union High Schools Foundation, Cupertino, for its 2008 fund-raising activities. With its distinctive compositional sketch and profound conception, “Midnight Forest” earned high praise during the solo exhibition held in Tokyo last November, making it a meaningful work for collection. For more information about this exhibition, please contact Mrs. Wei Hung, committee member and director of Fremont Union High School District, at 408-605-6959.

The opening ceremony of this exhibition will start at 2:00 PM on March 22 with Mr. Henry Yin, who has long been hosting charitable events in Bay Area. Millbrae Mayor Gina Papan will also deliver a welcome address. We cordially welcome your visit.

美國南海藝術中心、紅泥土愛藝者俱樂部、陸源藝術工作室 聯合獻禮

《頌讚:四境情緣》-2008 陸源新春畫展

展期: 二○○八年三月二十二日(週六)至三月二十九日(週六)
地點: 美國南海藝術中心
地址: 510 Broadway, #300, Millbrae, CA 94030
開幕式: 二○○八年三月二十二日下午二時至四時


自去年十一月在日本東京取得成功的展出後,定居於灣區的華裔畫家陸源(Jeff Lu)在眾多好友的熱情支持下,經過數月的整理和籌畫,謹定于3月22日在 “美國南海藝術中心(Nan-Han Art Center)”舉辦為期八天的個人畫展,除以饗長期支持他的老朋友外,更以這些精美的傑作,做為獻給灣區喜愛繪畫藝術朋友的一份迎新禮物。

目前定居舊金山灣區的陸源,祖籍江蘇省太倉市,早年在國內接受嚴格的系統藝術訓練,具有扎實的傳統繪畫根底。20年前赴美負薪留學,不僅研習了西方繪畫教育的理論,讓他在浩大的藝術殿堂中不斷地吸收養分充實自己,也讓他有機會在兩個不同文化藝術領域去比較、解讀和研究,累積了深厚的個人心得;此外,因著長久從事新聞工作的緣故,同樣也讓他有機會深度接觸美國社會的各個層面,舉凡政治、經濟、科技、文化、藝術到生活,他無一不涉入,累積了大量的人生智慧。

正是有了如此丰富的經歷和廣闊的視野,陸源無疑具備了與眾不同的敏銳的觀察力、深刻的理解力以及精确的表達力。在陸源筆下的“物象”﹐無論是具象或是抽象,總是流露出一種對人生哲理更深層面的解釋和看法。通過中國繪畫筆墨和色彩的運用,並借助東西文化撞擊產生的創作激情和靈感,來凸現個人對於人生“酸、甜、苦、辣”的深刻體驗,充分展現出“心手合一、兼收並蓄、學貫中西”的個人風采,凡是親眼觀賞過陸源作品的朋友都可看出他的與眾不同之處。

此次展出的作品總數約為30幅,全數取自於陸源近年來的精心創作《四境情緣》系列。此系列的創作靈感主要來自於他一向熱愛的大自然景觀。但雖然描繪的內容以大自然景觀為主,其中更多的是傳達出陸源不常外顯的“內心世界”。因此,展品可謂張張精采,饒富深度。展覽取名《頌讚‧四境情緣》,主要因為陸源希望透過這些作品的呈現,一方面彰顯出大自然的豐富和奇妙,另一方面希望能與灣區的朋友在新春之際共享這份豐富和奇妙,以為新的一年揭開美麗的序幕。

除作品展示外,為讓灣區喜愛繪畫藝術的朋友能從此次畫展中獲得最大的樂趣,對中國水墨畫的創作過程有更具體的了解,展期中還安排了一個與陸源面對面的溫馨小聚。聚會中,與會嘉賓除能在陸源的親自導覽下觀賞作品外,更重要的是,還將在陸源的示範下,一探中國畫完成手續─托畫─的奧秘,並親身實際參與托畫手續,把一張畫在皺皺的、薄薄的宣紙上的作品,托成一件平整的作品,親眼見識宣紙的變化,體驗中國老祖宗的偉大智慧。

另為回饋社區,陸源應南灣庫柏蒂諾佛利蒙聯合高中基金會(Fremont Union High Schools Foundation) 及美國防癌協會華人分會(American Cancer Society - Chinese Unit
)之邀,自《四境情緣》系列中提供出二幅極具代表性的作品,做為此二基金會2008年度募款之用。此二幅作品構圖獨特,立意深遠,皆是值得珍藏的佳作。欲知詳情請與佛利蒙聯合高中基金會董事、Fremont Union High School District學區委員魏虹女士408-605-6959,或美國防癌協會華人分會林文釗會長510-797-0600聯絡。

此次展覽的開幕儀式定於三月二十二日下午2時舉行,將由灣區僑界熱心公益的尹集憲先生Henry Yin擔任主持人,Millbrae市長Gina Papan致歡迎詞,並備有豐富的茶點招待各界嘉賓。對於熱愛繪畫藝術的朋友來說,這不僅是一個徜徉在藝術氣息的展覽,也是一個家庭合樂的活動,更是一個深度認識陸源和他作品的絕佳時機,請千萬不要錯過。誠摯的邀請各界朋友蒞臨觀賞賜教。
