近两年来，我一直在关注“他们”这一对年轻画家的工作进展，我在他们的艺术方式和不断展开的画面中看到了许多新的东西。在当代绘画不断遭受其他媒体艺术的侵犯而失去自我表现力的时候，“他们”的绘画采用了一种新的叙事方式，使画面的视觉性与艺术的观念形成直接的默契。实际上，我在联系中国当代艺术整体状况观察“他们”时，我看到了他们正在以绘画新一代的姿态迅速成长并悄然成熟起来，“他们”的艺术展现的是中国当代艺术一些新的征候。

For the recent two years, I‘ve been paying attention to the progress of “TA MEN”, a couple of young painters. I’ve seen many new things in their art mode and unfolding pictures. As the form of contemporary art tends to be integrated and many painters have given up the traditional language of painting and turned to new media experiment, “TA MEN” still indulge themselves in painting, happily and attentively. Believing that the language of painting is adequate to express their thoughts and feelings, They exploit painting true-heartedly as a media for their outpourings of psychological activities. When the contemporary painting keeps being encroached by other media arts and lost its self-expressiveness, “TA MEN” adopt a new narrative mode in their paintings, which renders direct harmony between the visuality of picture and the concept of art. Actually, when I am observing “TA MEN” against the backdrop of the overall situation of contemporary Chinese art, I noticed their rapid grow-up and quite maturity as a new generation of painter. The art of “TA MEN” shows several new symptoms of contemporary Chinese art.
