南北朝时期的陶弘景在《答谢中书书》说:“山川之美,古来共谈”。从某种意义上讲,山水文化和山水画构成了中国艺术精神的主体。我所认为的山水画作品,不是形象逼真的对景翻摹,也不是刻意追求的唯美工写,而是一种脉源清晰的艺术呈现,是一种自然物象的精神外化。它的基因链条里应该有奇崛、雄浑乃至苍茫的因子。正是基于此,当我读到刘明雷先生的山水作品时,恍然被某种气息所感染,宛若一股暖流袭过心头。 During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tao Hongjing said in the book “Thanks to the Book of Zhongs:” In a sense, landscape culture and landscape painting constitute the main body of Chinese artistic spirit. In my opinion, the landscape paintings are not vivid images of the King, nor are they the aesthetic works deliberately pursued. They are a kind of clear artistic representation of veins and are the externalization of the spirit of natural objects. Its genetic chain should be surprising, powerful and even vast factor. It is on this basis that when I read the landscape works of Mr. Liu Minglei, I suddenly felt some kind of breath, like a warm stream hit my heart.
