My Congenial Friend:Oil Painter Zheng Jinyan

画家是对事物敏感的一个群体,以一颗敏感之心去感知前贤,或许能在一瞬间体悟到永恒的意义。郑金岩教授诉诸笔端的古代画家形象,以其对内在生命和心灵的感悟,穿透了时间的迷障,呈现出一种永恒的人文精神。而这种永恒的人文精神正是画家苦苦追寻的心灵意象,故而反映到物象中,于人于物都是内在的统一,以此观郑金岩教授的画作,或许使人有似曾相识的感觉。本刊选编了他的部分代表作品和创作感悟,随同王琨先生的一篇短文以飨读者。

Painters are a responsive group. They are endowed with a responsive heart, who may seek to perceive their forefathers, and perhaps catch the meaning of eternity within a split second. Professor Zheng Jinyan, for example, presents an everlasting humanistic spirit through his works that portray ancient artists, despite perplexing barriers of time. This spirit is precisely the mental image that an artist has been so dedicated to seek. When it is reflected in his works, the inherent unity is reached, either for the artist or the object. If Professor Zheng’s works are viewed this way, a sense of familiarity may come up in our mind. In this issue we include some of his representative works and creative insights, and a short essay by Wang Kun as well.
