序

平生头一次策划女性艺术展,不禁对此届包括十八位女性艺术家作品的联合展览满怀期待.

在艺术圈里混了近二十年,最初碰见自由女性画家觉得很稀有,感到很好奇.

现在有幸漫步于女性艺术世界之中,得以感受女性艺术家们丰富而敏感的心灵世界.

她们用细腻的艺术语言所表达出个体对生活的思考与追求,浓缩体现了期间社会变迁,艺术发展的一个侧面.
其中也不乏对现实的审视和批判,对我而言能参与展览工作已然是2009年视觉经验的一大收获.

当梦想与现实这两个被人类文学、艺术、音乐甚至哲学和宗教所关注并探讨的古老话题发生联系，相互作用时.

是梦想照亮现实还是现实点燃梦想，就如同是鸡生蛋还是蛋生鸡般难以定论.

我宁愿认为蛋就是鸡,坚持选择包括过程的全部,更重视光的存在和作用，毕竟有光才有色。

或者今天的梦想将是明天的现实,而现实连接着过去与未来.

那就让我们的现实中梦想再多一些吧!

感谢所有参加、支持、帮助并促成此展的人,正是大家的努力使得这个梦想成为了现实.

Preface

This female artists’ exhibition is a first of a kind for me so I am very excited to see this exhibition, which will include 18 Female artists’ works, realised.

I have been working in the art field now for almost 20 years. When I first started working alongside female artists, I found their approach unique and was always very curious to learn about their work.  Today, I am honored to be able to welcome leading female artists’ work to the NOVA gallery and to share with our guests these artists’ sensitive and rich work.

As you explore this exhibition, you will be exposed to a wealth of artistic language that expresses these artists thoughts and pursuits in life. We hope it will provide you with a different outlook on the development between art and society.

The relationship between Fantasy and Reality has been explored throughout the history of literature, art, music, philosophy and religion. The question of whether dreams enlighten reality or reality enlighten dreams is often subject to heated debate. I personally prefer the viewpoint that dreams are often reflected in reality and vice versa. Since today’s dreams will become tomorrow’s reality, I would like to encourage you all to take inspiration from this exhibition and dream and aspire more in life.

Thank you very much for those who have participated in, supported and helped this exhibition. As a result of everyone’s efforts, we have been able to turn this dream into reality!
