前言
Preface
“绿野仙踪”的故事里，小女孩多萝茜被龙卷风从干燥而灰色的堪萨斯州带到充满魔法的奥芝国。当多萝茜打开房门，看到闪烁着透亮阳光的绿色原野，不由瞪大眼睛，发出“哦”的惊叹。
In the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ", a young girl, Dorothy, is transported by a tornado from the dry, grey state of Kansas to the enchanted land of Oz. When Dorothy opens the door to her room and sees the green fields glistening with bright sunlight, her eyes widen and she lets out an "ooh" of wonder.
当你首次面对这些艺术家的作品，会有和多萝茜一样的感受，原来世界还可以这样！
When you come across these artists' works for the first time, you will have the same feeling as Dorothy, that the world can be like this!
这些来自各个国家的艺术家原创作品，像远方他乡的风景和气息，异样、独特而且充满力量。看这些作品，可以很强烈地感受到艺术家所追求的那种自由——没有被强加的意义，没有一定要彰显的形式。单纯得像孩子一样的表达，蕴藏着原始森林般丰盛繁茂的生命力。这恐怕是真正的自由，不是为了抗争什么才有存在的意义，而是生来如此。
These original arts from Europe created a distant, exotic mindscape, built up an unique, alienated atmosphere. The audience wonder in a world without thesis, purposes, and formalities. Like children, unaware of such notions like purity, freedom and meaning. And like a primeval forest, infested with creatures and beings. In it the darkness shall over-whelm the explorers. Such darkness is not necessarily in the mood or shades, but in the very logic of it all. Where there is no need for freedom, no one knows how not to be, and nothing is born with, or dies without.
这些作品都采用了同一种创作媒介——手工丝网版画。作为一种创作手法，手工丝网版画灵活多变，偶然性和可控性可以高度完美地结合在一起，视觉冲击力极强，充满现代感；另外作品的可复制性其实无异于一场革命，将单件艺术品的价格降低到亲民程度，令艺术家的作品可以进入日常生活，在真正意义上实现了艺术品的民主。
These works all use the same technique - hand pulled screen-printing. As a creative technique, screen-printing is flexible and changeable, and chance and controllability can be highly and perfectly combined, with strong visual impact and full of modernity; in addition, the reproducibility of the works is actually tantamount to a revolution, which reduces the price of a single piece of artwork to a pro-people level, so that the artist's works can be introduced into daily life, and in a true sense, the democracy of artwork is realized.
当真诚面对这样的作品，有时它会成为一个兔子洞，层层深陷引领我们进入内心幻境——又或者是唯一的真实。优秀的艺术是魔法，一直如此。
When honestly confronted with such a work, it can sometimes become a rabbit hole, with deep layers leading us into an inner illusion - or perhaps the only reality. Great art is magic, always.
