前  言

王春燕、李江合作的作品，属于从中国古代绘画演变出来的色彩构成，由于选择了古代绘画中的仕女与花卉，演变出来的色彩构成也柔和唯美。这些可以被归入几何抽象。作品以方格内打叉为基本元素，以四方连续结构，在刚刚兴起的川美几何抽象艺术探索，算是一个有特色的新“增长点”。和其他探索者一样，迈出这一步也非常不容易，也首先是对自己的挑战，这是具象意象价值体系、视觉习惯与教学系统造就的必然困难。
王春燕、李江合作的作品的确有点象格布和装饰画，对此我想做一简要解答。
1、    格布来自几何抽象，只是由于中国没有经历这个过程，直接引进的格布，所以感到打格的几何抽象像格布。
2、    在西方，油画从它产生那一天起就是装饰墙面用的，并且有华丽的画框，包括最著名的作品。中国人接触油画主要是通过展览和印刷品，创作长期为政治和文化变革服务，只适合在美术馆或画廊展览，不适合进入生活空间，因此适合进入生活空间的油画就被认为是装饰画。
王春燕、李江既是合作伙伴，又是生活伴侣，在西南地区，这种合作关系经常是女方主导，这是西南文化与中原文化一个重要差异。在他们的合作中，王春燕就是主导者，仕女与花卉的选择与构成处理中对刺绣针法的借用，这些都体现了女艺术家的主导作用，应当算做西南特色的女权主义吧。

Forewords
The co-works of Wang Chunyan and Li Jiang are color compositions derived from Chinese traditional paintings. The original images of ladies and flowers are re-built in geographic abstract paintings which take crossed check as basic elements and chessboard pattern as structure, and sound female because of the original issues. This effort adds a new style to the raising geographic abstract art in Sichuan Fine-Arts Institute. Just like all other experimenter in that direction, these two co-works had a very difficult beginning and still face challenge in this figurative art tradition and value system in china. Abstract art is over in the west but is never alive in the Center Empire.
These exhibited works might looks like check cloth or decorative paintings in state of art work, for Chinese public, therefore, I should give some explanations. 
1.    Check cloth came from geographic abstract art in the West, but came to china long before the latter which was long time considered as harmful western modernism，that’s why we think Wang Chunyan and Li Jiang’s geographic abstract art works look like check cloth. The correct answer is just the opposite: check cloth looks like geographic abstract art.
2.    In the West, oil painting was born for the decoration of room, that’s why frame of painting share the same style of furniture, especially frame of mirror. Well in China, it used to appear in art exhibitions and publications, and long time used for political and cultural reform purposes, that made oil painting only good for art exhibition but not for space decoration. Therefore, when works fit well the need of living space, they are easily considered as decoration in state of art.
Wang Chunyan and Li Jiang not only work together, but also live together, in this situation, the cooperation is often female oriented in the South-West China, and I do know the choice of ancient female issues and Cross-stitch drawing in checks came from Wang Chunyan, , and then Li Jiang come to work and think together with her..

艺术家自述

知道十字绣已经是很多年前的事了，很小的时候就常常看到妈妈绣着各种各样的图案，很是喜欢，自己也跟着学，渐渐的自己长大了，那些往事却恍如隔世。可是又有谁想到，就是那些普通的十字绣却激发了我创作的灵感。

没事的时候，我和他常常聊到那些往事，在不知不觉中，就是这些往事让我想到了一些东西。有时候，灵光一闪，也许以后的路就是另外一个样子，十字绣是这样想到的，想到了就做，艺术也就是一个不断做的过程，做了不好再想、再聊。总会在做的过程中想到更多，然后再做的更多，开始是这样，后来还是这样。我们的合作也就是这样聊到的，想到的，风格的确定、技法的表现、题材的选择都是这样不断的想到、再聊到，也许我说的比较轻松，事实上也许有很多艰辛，但是我们不觉得，因为我们的创作是我们共同在想，我想不到的他想到了，他想不到的我想到了。所以，我们在不断的探索过程中，却也觉得我们还是那么快乐。

通过不断的尝试和改变，当然这时候已经不再是十字绣了，借用古代、消解古代，放大格子和叉，加入当代的一些思想，从电脑的点击放大的两种状态入手。就这样确定好了，就是我们现在的尝试，当我们两个人都认定了这种方式的时候，我们也在不断的坚持，不管是悬崖也好是光明大道也好，我们不敢去想，因为任何一种新的东西都需要有不怕死的勇气，这样才能做出点什么来，也许我们两个单独去尝试的话，可能会退缩，但是有两个人同行，却给我们彼此都带来了一种安全感，所以我们敢于去尝试新的东西。不敢说我们的作品是好是坏，能做出这一批作品我们觉得已经不枉我们的这一次冒险了。每个人看到我们的作品我想都应该有他们自己的看法，我们也希望大家提出宝贵的意见，也许我们会有更大的进步！感谢大家，感谢帮助过我们的老师，感谢同学的鼓励！

Speech of artist

Cross-stitch has been into my life for a long time. I always saw my mother embroidering different kinds of patterns when I was very young. I was infatuated with it and learning to embroider when I was older, cross-stitch has always inspired my inspirations although these old things came away from me farther and farther.

Sometimes I talked about those memories to my boy friend Li Jiang, and a new idea grossed up unconsciously. Then I carried it out, I hoped that my art would be changed by the inspirations that the cross-stitch gave to me. I think art is a course of trying and attempting continuously, so I have never stop communicating with cross-stitch and carrying out my new ideas. More communication, more ideas, then I try to implement the ideas, it comes a circle. I gained a lot from the course, confirming the styles, expressing the skills, choosing the themes. The course is rough and difficult, but I feel very satisfied. It is a accomplishment of both cross-stitch and me.

Other than the cross-stitch, we tried our best to add some new elements into our works. Such as the thought about the history, the technical of computer .As we know, everything neonatal becomes with great courage. So when we confirm our new style, we deal with it unhesitatingly. No matter it is right or wrong. It will be afraid for him and me to face such a attempt alone, but it will not for us. When we get together, we have enough courage to accomplish our attempt. Our works are finished at the moment, and it's the best quittance for our efforts. We hope everyone could tell your opinions to us, and we believe that we will make our works more and more preferable through your valuable opinions. Thank you!
