事件2008 — 呂山川作品展
展期：12月28日－1月5日
地點：2號館2層展廳
呂山川在2008年的藝術生活仍然延續著用繪畫的方式敘述現實的方法，由此構成了《事件2008》的系列作品。如同2007年一樣，在他的工作室里，只有報紙和畫布兩種東西，或者說只有新聞與畫面兩種東西。他的全部生活就在現實的記錄與藝術的創造這兩個最單純的端點之間，他的精神狀態與藝術熱情則始終圍繞著將兩種事物聯系在一起。
但是，《事件2008》又是有自己的年度主題的，這是呂山川以新聞為媒介這種繪畫方式的新進展。在《事件2007》中，我們可以看到他取材的多樣化，他的關注點比較多地受到世界范圍內多種新聞事件的吸引，然而，在2008年這一整年中，他的關注點放在了中國，《事件2008》也因此可以說就是“事件中國”。
同樣，在藝術表現力上，呂山川的《事件2008》也有新的進展。他的作品仍然尺幅巨大，但是，在其中投入的語言密集程度更高了，對畫面視覺效果特別是“繪畫性”的追求也更集中了。呂山川的才能在于他具有極強的繪畫造型能力，在表現性語言的施展上可以說達到筆隨心運、淋漓酣暢的程度。

Event 2008—Solo-Exhibition by LV SHANCHUAN
Duration：28th Dec.– 5th Jan.
Venue：The 2nd Floor exhibition hall of Building 2
Throughout 2008, Lv Shanchuan has continued his gripping portrayal of reality in his life of art, as can be seen in the series “Events 2008”. Just as in the previous year, his studio has been taken up by two things, newspapers and canvases, or rather, news and pictures. His entire world is nothing but an extension between two simple ends, linking a realistic record and artistic creation. In between grow his burning impulse and enthusiasm to bring art to life, or vice versa.
“Events 2008” has its own theme of the year, a progression in news-based painting developed by Lv Shanchuan. Looking at his “Events 2007”, we discover a diversity of topics in his work. His focus was distracted by multiple sources of global news. However, the cynosure of his eyes throughout the whole of 2008 has been China. “Events 2008” may thus be interpreted as “Events in China”.
Likewise, Lv Shanchuan made progress in “Events 2008” in terms of artistic expression. Truly his works are of enormous size, but he does not balk at pouring in more intense contents and creating a strong visual impact. With his superb ability in graphical modeling, Lv Shanchuan has his own way of mesmerizing viewers by bold and full expression.
