绘事有思:艺术不是轻而易举的事

Thinking in Painting "Art is not Something Easy"

2015年3月21日,798一家画廊为我做了个小展览,题目是“侧面：毛旭辉纸本作品展1979-2012”,展览本身并没有多少特殊性,反倒是“侧面”这个题目引发了无限感思。2008年1月,上海的红桥画廊精心打造了我的个展“道路：毛旭辉绘画历程1976-2007”。当时把题目定为“道路”,一是感慨自十五六岁学画以来,这三十几年经历了太多挫折、磨难，也收获了更多认识和希望，走过了一条不折不扣的青春之路；一是致敬即将来临而又遥不可及的未来，既然坚定了要用一生去做艺术，那未来之路上又将展现什么样的风景，无从知晓，又那般神秘。

'I was born in June 1956,which was the preorder of the Anti-Rightist Movement,as well as the prelude of the Cultural Revolution.' The beginning seems to doom the unusual life of the artist,who grew up in a turbulent time and experienced an unusual life.The experience of the artist's father affected his life greatly.In the tense atmosphere of the time,family bond was invaluable.Just as stated in his words: 'you cannot always own;you can only lose.' 'Printing the Dazibao and sending out flyers',as well as 'Yunnan Waiguang school in Kunming Department Store' was the beginning of his art life.The mainstream of Chinese Modern Art Movement would remind us of the rep artists Zhang Xiaogang and Ye Yongqing.What could be the story between them?
