五音不全
我们所处的时代是个极端物质化的时代，每每回想逝去的那段傻X年代，感觉是蛮精神化的。我们也从小时候的“无产阶级”长成了现在的“小资产阶级”，既然是“小资产阶级”当然丧失了年少时革命斗志，却增长了一些小资产者的感伤，我们也学会流泪了！学会怀旧了。现在的我们如一群在河水中游弋的、慌张的小鱼，在追忆忧伤的情感漩涡中折腾着，虽然大家有些忙乱，方向却没有迷失，慢慢的靠近，靠近浩瀚的江海——靠近当今的文化主流。
艺术家虹舒的作品以玩世的情态，简约的笔意调侃逝去那段花样年华，以其独特的视角，描绘了那段早已封存的记忆。
艺术家法明的作品以自身的情感经历为主题，表现主义的绘画风格，用有生命、灵动的笔触表现生命中的美丽与感伤。它是一位在心灵的荒原上游走的诗人。
艺术家张乙迪的作品是用幽默的手法，讥讽人们在欲望游戏中的百态，他是一位带着微笑批判现实主义的艺术家。
艺术家贾立龙的作品以女性人体为主题，揭示人性潜在的本能意识与欲望，淋漓写意的手法具有中国式的韵味与意境。
艺术家宝印的作品以童年的经历为主题，揭示红色年代群体无意识状态下的灵魂，表现傻X年代的恐惧、无奈、自由漂泊的生命状态。
审视当今社会：人性的异化与现实的荒谬，导致了群体无意识的大众式的荒谬，而艺术又是一个极其荒谬的游戏——一个荒谬的梦的游戏。
五位艺术家也是卷入这场梦想游戏的梦中人。艺术家们有着不同的经历与思想，不同的情感与不同的情感表达形式，他们将内心涌出的梦想与感伤，以不同的主题融入了当下文化的情结，成为当代艺术参与者与实践者。虽然他们生长于那红色的年代，却坦然地接受着当今文化的影响，艺术家们用不同的声音倾诉着他们内心的情结，这声音似一首老歌，唱出那内心深处的记忆！

Five singers’ symphony
We are experiencing an era of materialism. Every time when I think about those Cultural Revolution years, which I joke as “ fools’ celebration”, I feel that we were spirituality oriented in those days. And as time goes by, we all have grown from proletariats with fighting will into so-called petty bourgeois, who begin to be more sentimental and reminiscent. Nowadays, even though we are tangled in the sad recollection of the old days, just like nervous fish struggling in a river, we are still going towards the vast ocean — the mainstream of today’s culture.
Hong Shu’s works keep bantering those old beautiful days with her cynical attitude and brief style, showing us the covered memory with a unique perspective.
Fa Ming bases the theme of his works on his own emotional experiences. He depicts the beauty and sorrow of life with a vivid and expressional tone. He is a poet wandering on the waste land of his soul.
Zhang Yidi mixes humor into his drawings to taunt diversified people seduced by desire. He becomes an artist criticizing realism with a smile.
In Jia Lilong’s works, female body is the only star. It is presented by the way of traditional Chinese painting stroke, so-called “freehand brushwork”, to show the unique taste of Chinese. By those drawings, he uncovers the hidden instinct and desire of human beings.
Bao Yin targets his works at his children’s days to show the spirit under group-unconsciousness in those Cultural Revolution years, and demonstrates the fearful, helpless and aimless state during the whole “fool’s celebration”.
When we look at the contemporary society carefully, we can clearly see that the dissimilation in human nature and absurdity in reality lead to the mass irrationality featured by group-unconsciousness. Meanwhile, art is another irrational game, in which everybody dreams an incredible dream.
The five artists are among the dreamers who play the irrational game called “art”. Artists have their unique experiences and minds. By demonstrating different feelings in different ways, they release their dreams and sadness underneath. In the path of mixing various themes into the popular cultural complex, they become the members and pioneers of the art in our time. Although they underwent the Cultural Revolution, they can still accept the influence of the contemporary culture. They express their inner voice in different tones. The tones, just like a symphony, bring back the memory in the heart of hearts.
