Professor He Jingjing, master tutor of the School of Fine Arts of Guangxi Normal University, delivered a speech
"Today's opening style is a festive and novel model that is impressive. First of all, I would like to thank Teacher Cai for his invitation, and for this exhibition and the creation of art, I would like to give an example: during the Spring Festival, I watched the two movies "Chosin Lake: Watergate Bridge" and "Sniper", and the picture scenes were very shocking. There are many small scenes and details in these films that vividly show the cruelty of war and the brilliance of human nature. From these details, I feel the importance of artistic perspective and narrative style. Art is all connected, as long as you can find your own perspective, find your own narrative and visual language, then the work will be impressive. I like today's teacher-student joint exhibition, teaching and learning, but also teachers and friends, at the same time I am still a fan of Teacher Cai, Teacher Cai's attitude to life and the pursuit of art are worth learning, and finally wish the exhibition a successful success, thank you. ”
Professor Hu Jianqiang, director of the Oil Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts of Guangxi Normal University and tutor of postgraduate students, delivered a speech
"Good morning leaders, teachers and students! It is a great honor to receive the invitation of teacher Cai Fujun to participate in the opening ceremony of the photo exhibition. The whole exhibition effect gives me two feelings: the first point is that from the "learning" of the students, their style is a hundred flowers, each with its own characteristics, perspectives and thinking, the effect presented is very rich, and each student has his own appearance. The true meaning of art is in this place, that is, to find what you think in your heart and present your emotions in the language you find. They have found their way forward. In addition, from the aspect of "teaching", Teacher Cai Fujun is open and inclusive in teaching, and respects the direction chosen by the students, and then in teaching, it varies from person to person and according to aptitude, this teaching method is a way of modern education, which is worth learning. This exhibition is presented in such a warm way during the epidemic, and it is very happy! Congratulations here again - Cai Fujun Graduate Studio Exhibition has been a complete success! ”
Liang Xucai, academic host of this exhibition and director of the Innovation and Research Department of Guilin Art Museum, delivered a speech
"Good morning, teachers and students! It is an honor to be the academic host of this exhibition. Four years ago, I also held a solo exhibition here, and it was also the teachers who cheered me up and cheered me up, and let me persist until now. Working outside now, I'm happy to be back to this exhibition as a member of the studio. It was Teacher Cai's escort and guidance throughout the process that made this exhibition complete and successfully presented. The name of this exhibition is "photo", which has several meanings, including liver and gallbladder, and also mutual care, of course, there is also a layer of meaning of "taking people as a mirror" and "choosing those who are good and changing from those who are not good". In school and society are two different environments, there will be a lot of competition and chase outside, it is easy to get lost in the chai rice oil and salt in life, and there are only a few people who insist on painting. I hope that students can cherish the school, draw more and do more things under the guidance of the teacher. From a professional point of view, the students in the studio are out of the same door, but each has its own characteristics, which is a learning attitude. Painting should not only ensure professionalism, but also maintain the side of their true temperament. Teacher Cai and his graduate students are very attentive in this exhibition, I believe that they will harvest a very good memory, and will also bring you a higher than the expected value of the exhibition experience! ”
Wu Zhiyu, a representative of the participating artists and curators, delivered a thank-you speech
"Distinguished leaders, teachers, and students, good morning! This exhibition is a group exhibition of works by all the graduate students in the studio, and I am both a curator and an exhibitor, so I am honored to stand here as a representative of this exhibition. On behalf of all the members of the 502 Cai Fujun Graduate Studio, I would like to welcome all the leaders, teachers and students to visit. From the launch stage of the exhibition to the present, Xiang Xianmeng, Deputy Secretary Zhou Xiaoxia, Dean Lu Lijuan, Dean Liu Xianbiao and many other college leaders and teachers have given the greatest help and support to our exhibition, which is an important cornerstone for the smooth holding of this exhibition. In addition, it is precisely with the trust and encouragement of our mentor, Mr. Cai Fujun, that we have a valuable opportunity to plan an exhibition of our own. The rich curatorial experience of Mr. Liang Xucai, the academic host of this exhibition, has made our overall exhibition effect intrinsically improved. But the most important thing is that throughout the curatorial process, all the same doors in Studio 502 work together and work together to make "photo" gradually plump and grow from a simple idea to a similar exhibition. We hope to present you with a more diversified and interesting exhibition scene, and the students from the Dragon and Lion Team of Shida University bring us not only a simple performance, but also an experimental cross-disciplinary union between the Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Physical Education, and a reflection of the art of painting and excellent folk art. Finally, I sincerely thank all the above-mentioned people for their support of this exhibition, and I wish you all a harvest in the future exhibition process. ”
Associate Professor Cai Fujun, exhibition instructor, director of the Experimental Art Department of the Academy of Fine Arts of Guangxi Normal University, and master tutor, delivered a speech
"Hello everyone, thank you all for taking the precious time to attend our exhibition. In particular, I would like to thank the Dragon and Lions of the Sports Institute for their support of this event, and the wonderful performance can also be regarded as an exorcism during the epidemic. Thank you to Secretary Xiang Xianmeng and Deputy Secretary Zhou Xiaoxia for their support of the event. This exhibition is a group exhibition of our studio, the studio has 4 graduate students graduated this year, doing this exhibition is not only a farewell to the graduates, but also a combing of teaching achievements. The 11 people in the studio come from different places and have different personalities. In the beginning, everyone seemed to be similar in terms of life and study. But after a while, it was discovered that the children had different directions in their artistic pursuits. The artistic outlook they present now is different, traditional, comprehensive material, modern concept. In terms of teaching, hopefully they will stick to what they believe. After graduation, I can continue to adhere to my own creative path, paint my favorite works, and continue to walk. Thank you again for coming, thank you! ”
Professor Liu Xianbiao, Vice Dean of the School of Fine Arts of Guangxi Normal University and Tutor of Postgraduate Students, delivered a speech and announced the opening of the exhibition
"Today we are honored to be here to attend the opening ceremony of the photo, "photo" is to observe with the eyes. "Zhao" contains the meaning of illumination and care, and these two words show the theme of the exhibition very well: the world observed with the eyes is illuminated on the canvas, expressing the students' attitude to art and the relationship between each other. The exhibited works involve oil paintings, watercolors, acrylic, and comprehensive materials, reflecting the students' mutually referenced and different artistic pursuits, and also presenting the studio's creative achievements. Although the epidemic situation is still harsh in the spring of April, the Academy of Fine Arts is still wonderful, and there have been four exhibitions in succession, which is very worthy of congratulations. I believe that no matter what the epidemic is, our lives will remain the same, and our exhibitions will be more exciting. Finally, I announce the opening of the "Photo Shoot - Cai Fujun Graduate Studio Works Exhibition"! ”
