前 言
天空，神秘而迷幻;城市，潔凈而曠遠(yuǎn);建筑，宏偉而壯麗;雕塑，靜穆而莊嚴(yán)。這是一個用視覺方式營造出來的精神國度，充滿了各種理想化的模型，活著的人仿佛只是過客般的虛影，只有那些崇高的建筑和塑像是真實而永恒的。
1960年代出生的藝術(shù)家們，大多有著那段特殊的成長歲月所帶給他們的集體主義與英雄主義情結(jié)，崇拜至高無上的健康和光明，胸懷純潔無瑕的信仰和夢想，盡管有時難免困頓迷惑，有時被迫隨波逐流，但內(nèi)心永遠(yuǎn)眷戀著那難以名狀的、失落已久的精神歸宿。在欲望喧囂、物質(zhì)至上的今天，這樣的境界也注定是寂寥而孤獨的。
近20年來，唐暉一直默默地建造著他心目中的烏托邦，他混合了中國古典藝術(shù)、西方宗教藝術(shù)、社會主義現(xiàn)實主義和國際流行的卡通動漫等視覺形態(tài)，以優(yōu)雅浪漫的手法持續(xù)地塑造了一系列穿越時空的藝術(shù)形象，把東方和西方，過去和未來，信仰和欲望融合成一個奇異的整體。
本次展覽上推出的是唐暉近兩年的作品，主題集中于對理想的廣場、大會堂、塔樓、紀(jì)念碑等紀(jì)念性城市建筑的思考與設(shè)計，滲透出他對逝去的時代那種特殊精神狀態(tài)的沉思，流露出追憶莊嚴(yán)時的無限悵惘。值得留意的，是他作品中極具當(dāng)代性的東方氣息，那是古老的中國文明在現(xiàn)代化進(jìn)程中所應(yīng)當(dāng)表達(dá)出的自信和自豪。
愿這個特別的展覽能夠讓今天的都市人意識到，我們的生存環(huán)境和生活形態(tài)還有另一種可能，一種更加高貴、更加唯美的可能。

Sky, mysterious and hallucinatory; city, clean and wide; buildings, magnificent and spectacular; sculptures, solemn and quiet. In such a spiritual kingdom created in a visual way and filled with various idealistic models, living people seem to be illusions like passersby, and only these sublime buildings and sculptures are real and eternal.
Most of the artists born in the 1960s have a complex about collectivism and heroism brought by that special period during their growth, admiring the sublime well-being and brightness, pursuing pure and innocent beliefs and dreams. Though sometimes encountering hardships and confusions, and sometimes being compelled to drift with the tide, they are always sentimentally attached to the inexplicable and long-lost spiritual destination in their minds. In the clamorous and practical present times, such a realm is destined to be deserted and lonely.
For the last two decades, Tang Hui has been quietly building a Utopia in his mind, mixing the visual forms of ancient Chinese art, western religious art, socialistic realism, internationally popular cartoon, and etc, creating a series of art images traversing time and space in an elegant and romantic way, and integrating east and west, past and future, beliefs and desires into a peculiar whole.
This exhibition presents Tang Hui’s recent works, mainly focusing on consideration and designs of commemorative urban building, such as idealistic plaza, assembly hall, tower house, monument, and etc, permeating with his meditation about the special spiritual mood of the elapsed era, and reflecting his boundless solemn nostalgia in retrospect. What’s noteworthy is the strong touch of contemporaneity in his works, which is the appropriately expressed confidence and pride of ancient Chinese civilization in the process of modernization.
I wish this special exhibition could enable the present urban people to realize – there is one more possibility about our living environment and living form, a more noble and beautiful possibility.
