皆大欢喜——我的中国梦

在我年少时，国家宣传一个数学家，他叫陈景润，后来虽然我没有当数学家，但陈景润却深刻的影响了我。那就是要做国际课题，为国争光。波普艺术就是一个国际课题，是艺术的奥林匹克。我们时代的伟大变化就是农村城镇化，城市国际化。我在旅游景点常看到外国人和中国人挤在一起观光，分享快乐与和平。现在人类的命运已经紧紧地相连，成为了人类命运共同体。我要把这种感受画出来。安迪·沃霍尔来过中国，他在天安门前照了一张相，背景是毛主席的画像和世界人民大团结这条标语。现在国家越来越强大，艺术家和国家是水涨船高的关系，中国梦能最大限度地刺激人民的想象力和创造力。中国梦是和平发展的梦，也是世界人民大团结的梦。日本能产生草间弥生和村上隆这样的波普艺术家，中国也能。

To The Satisfaction Of All
——My Chinese Dream

When I was young, the state promoted a mathematician, whose name was Chen Jingrun, he has deeply influenced me to do international topics and win glory for the country. I think Pop art is an international subject, it is the Olympic matter of art.The great change in our era is rural urbanization and urban internationalization. I often see foreigners and Chinese people traveling together in tourist attractions to share happiness and peace. Now the destiny of mankind has been closely linked and has become a community with a shared future for mankind.I want to draw this feeling down. Andy Warhol took a photograph in front of Tiananmen with the picture of Chairman Mao and the slogan of the great unity of the people of the world when he came to China.Now the country is becoming stronger and stronger, artists and the country are a rising relationship, the Chinese dream can greatly stimulate the imagination and creativity of the people. The Chinese dream is the dream of peaceful development and the great unity of the people of the world. China can also produce Pop art masters such as Mishama and Takashi Murakami in Japan.

最浪漫的事

我小时候学的是国画，上学学的是油画，我当老师时除了教油画之外还教了许多设计。感谢这样的命运安排使我明白了许多道理。现代艺术和当代艺术都和设计有很大的关系，早期的现代派大师如康定斯基、蒙德里安、米罗、克利等也是设计大师，毕加索的立体派来源于非洲雕刻，这是一种古老的设计。而波普大师都喜欢广告和卡通，波普的精神就是要喜闻乐见，要有良好的品牌形象，这和崛起的中国要树立和平友好的大国形象相吻合。外国文化也可以成为中国文化的一部分，比如中国化的佛教和马克思主义。谁敢说它们不是中国文化？从这个意义上说油画已成为中国文化的一部分，波普也会成为中国文化的一部分。中国文化海纳百川，吸收着外来文化，这就是中国文化长盛不衰的原因。绘画也是这样，它能吸收文化、亚文化的因素和设计的因素，所以能够长盛不衰。

法国人和英国人曾组船队到澳洲，相约谁先到那里澳洲就归谁。法国人先到，但他们发现了罕见的蝴蝶，于是他们放下国家大事跑去追蝴蝶，却丢了澳洲。法国人真浪漫。其实最浪漫的还是中国人，宋朝的那个皇帝玩艺术玩得亡了国。艺术哪能没得玩了？是你不够浪漫而已。真爱才能无敌。

The Most Romantic Thing

What I learned was traditional Chinese painting when I was a child, and what I learned was oil painting at school ，When I was a teacher, I taught many designs besides oil painting. Thanks for such a fate arrangement that has taught me a lot of the truth. Modern art and contemporary art have a lot to do with design, early modernist masters such as Condingsky, Mondian, Mondrian, Miro, Kley and others were  also design masters, Picasso's Cubism was derived from African carving, which was an ancient design. Pop art masters like advertisements and cartoons. The spirit of Pop art is to have   a good brand image, which is consistent with the rising China to build a peaceful and friendly big country. Foreign culture can also be part of Chinese culture, such as sinicization Buddhism and Marxism. Who can say that they are not Chinese culture?In this sense, oil painting has become a part of Chinese culture, and Pop art will also become a part of Chinese culture. Chinese culture is like a great river, absorbing foreign cultures, which is the reason for the enduring prosperity of Chinese culture. The same is true of painting. It can absorb cultural subculture factors and design factors, so it can last forever.

The British and French had led their own fleet to Australia ,and they agreed that whoever arrived in Australia first could own Australian land. The French arrived first, but they found rare butterflies and they put down national events and ran to chase the butterflies and thus lost Australia.The French are really romantic.In fact, the most romantic are the Chinese. The emperor of the Song Dynasty played art and lost the country.How can art disappear?You're not romantic enough.True love can be invincible.
