博采古今·秀木成林：安徽“韩美林艺术展”邀您走进“美林的世界”

“我每天都在进步！”这是我国著名艺术家韩美林先生的口头禅。就像他当年结合中国传统文化与创新理念为2008北京奥运会设计吉祥物“福娃”一样，如今年逾八十的韩美林，在艺术创作中仍然勇于创新且充满活力。正在安徽省美术馆举办的“韩美林艺术展”就是实例！

5月26日，“韩美林艺术展”迎来了首批参观者。本次展览呈现了韩美林的各类精品作品400余件，集纳了书法、水墨、雕塑、陶瓷、紫砂、木雕、铁艺、民间工艺等创作类型，全面展现这位艺术家生动、乐观的作品形象与丰富、多样的创作面貌。

A grand retrospective dubbed "Han Meilin Art Exhibition" is currently on display at the newly opened Anhui Art Museum. Over 400 of the best works by veteran artist Han Meilin are being presented. It seeks to show the full scope of Han’s artistic achievements in the fields of calligraphy, ink painting, sculpture, ceramics, woodcarving, wrought iron art, and folkcrafts.

Jointly organized by the Anhui Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, the Anhui Art Museum and the Han Meilin Art Foundation, the exhibition focuses on four aspects of Han’s artistic endeavors: The Sealed Book (a collection of his abstract art), traditional crafts, animal-themed art, and works based on his observations about people. Many precious manuscripts are also on display, showcasing Han’s well-known designs from past decades.

The retrospective has already received a warm welcome from local art enthusiasts. According to Wang Ling, Director of the Anhui Art Museum, 1,000 tickets were reserved online within two minutes of being made available for the opening day. Many visitors described being blown away by the exhibition and its wide spectrum of Han’s art.

展览分为四个单元：“神遇迹化”呈现韩美林在“天书”上的探索，通过上溯远古时代的原始文字，又旁涉民间文化中的图形符号，韩美林以书写“天书”来表达对中国文字的敬畏与陶醉；“素手丹心”通过陶瓷、紫砂、染织、木雕等艺术类别，集中体现韩美林将创新精神融入传统工艺的突破，以及在造型、空间、风格与意境等方面的独运匠心；“民胞物与”聚焦韩美林对“动物”题材的创作，在他心中，万物皆为天地之间的生命精灵，因此对生命的激情表达也成为韩美林创作的内生动力；“人间有情”则汇集了韩美林在人体画与人体雕塑方向的诗意表达，作品造型高度概括，情感热烈真挚，充满生命的律动和诗化的意境，是韩美林将西方造型与东方写意杂糅而成的丰硕果实。

此外，展览还以多种创新手段引导观众进入韩美林丰富的艺术世界。“美林轨迹”梳理了艺术家的人生经历并以时间长廊的形式展开，讲述韩美林在安徽期间的艺术人生；“时代光影”聚焦他深入民间采风，汲取民族艺术养分的万里征程；“艺术魔墙”是为展览特设的数字化项目，观众可通过触屏搜索欣赏来自韩美林艺术馆的海量数字化作品，徜徉于“美林的世界”。在展览的最后，安徽省美术馆特别开辟了一个独立部分“秀木成林”，将韩美林过去数十载的设计手稿一一呈现。

作为安徽省美术馆开馆的重磅之作，由安徽省文化和旅游厅主办，安徽省美术馆、韩美林艺术基金会承办的“韩美林艺术展”是这位艺术大师对“第二故乡”的感恩与回馈。在安徽度过了22年宝贵青春岁月的韩美林曾表示，这片江淮大地是自己艺术起飞的地方，在这里他结识了许多患难之交。安徽目睹了这位艺术大师的辛勤耕耘，同样也见证了他厚积薄发、涅槃重生的艺术人生。时隔三十余载再回故地，韩美林希望借着本次展览表达多年的感恩之情。

Han Meilin ranks among China's leading masters of arts and crafts. He has contributed to many art fields over the past seven decades. Among his myriad creations, the Beijing 2008 Olympic Mascots "Fuwa," Air China's emblem, and animal zodiac stamps have all won universal praise. Han has a talent for absorbing the essence of traditional Chinese culture and combining many disparate forms. He skillfully integrates realism, abstract art, freehand brushwork, and various other techniques to create his unique style.

Han Meilin was born in 1936 in east China's Shandong Province. At the age of 27, he was transferred from Beijing to a research institute of arts and crafts in Anhui Province to support the establishment of local fine arts institutions. It was there that Han immersed himself in folk culture and honed his skills. Han regards Anhui as his second home, as he worked and lived there for 22 years.

The Chinese art master fondly recalls Anhui as the place where his art first took off, adding he has made many friends there. Decades later, he has returned for what feels like ahomecoming. This exhibition serves as a retrospective of the 22 years he spent in Anhui, showing how the culture inspired him during that time. It serves as an occasion for the artist to give something back to his adopted home from home. Without a doubt, his fondest memories there will live on through the vessels of art.
