我的画
                                                —邱胜贤自述

如果说马蒂斯的绘画是试图表现一种宁静与舒适的效果，那么我的绘画则是追求一种快乐无忧，博爱天下的感受！我是希望能通过绘画这一特殊的语言，传递出一种精神，一份真情以及对生活的热爱。在现在工业社会，人们一方面感受着诸多物质生活所带来的快感，与此同时也不断承受着诸多精神上的沉重压力。我的绘画就是为了缓解和释放内心的苦楚，追求人类本有的快乐与幸福。我所想表意的是：让世界充满欢乐，唤人间大爱无疆！

基于此，我选用了中华民族自五代以来最受喜爱的一位宗教人物形象—— 布袋和尚（也称“弥勒”)作为创作的原型。我画作的基本形象分“胜贤弥勒”和“胜贤娃”两个部分。之所以称之为“胜贤弥勒”和“胜贤娃”，是因为在形体上我进行了全新的塑造和处理，并且在艺术上也为它赋予了新意，有明显的当代气息。实际上，它是我创造出来的一个地地道道的艺术化形像。我不是佛教徒，但我非常喜爱读有关佛教的书籍和观赏佛画艺术。我去过敦煌、麦积山、云岗以及龙门石窟等地考察，也现场临摹过一些雕塑和壁画。我思想上更多的是把它作为一门优秀的民族文化，一种了不起的精神载体。

为了使我的绘画具有创造性和应有的艺术价值，形成艺术风格个人化是我毕生的追求。我力争风格形式明显化，但这种风格并非偶然，而是将我多年来在美术领域所涉猎的雕塑、陶艺、连环画、彩墨画以及书法全面重组整合而成，使得绘画与雕塑感并存。远观画面厚重，震撼，冲击力强；近视则丰富，可读，耐人寻味。特别值得一提的是，我的大部分艺术形体都是由许多细小的人体母子所组合。人体艺术已有几千年的历史，它不仅在古老的岩画、西方绘画中以及印度宗教雕刻里有大量的反映，就是在我国唐代敦煌飞天里也频频出现。它是一种尊贵,一种圣洁和美丽的象征。而母子之情无疑为天底下最无私，最伟大的爱了！这种大美大爱所组合而成的个人艺术符号，始终贯穿在我画面的各个领域，从而形成一种特有的标志，这也是目前世界艺术中唯一的一种独特表现方式。当人们驻足静观时，不禁浮想联翩。

Introduction of Qiu Shengxian’s Works
Qiu Shengxian was born in Shangtang, Jiangxi Province, 1955 and graduated from Jin Dezhen Art Academy in 1982. He is now under exclusive contract of a Gallery--- OutstandingArt Shanghai.

In history, Buddha Bodhisattva Maitreya is typically pictured with either both feet on the ground or crossed at the ankles, seated on a throne, waiting his time. He regards all living beings with compassion and is foremost in the perfection of patience. Maitreya is the symbol of great love, happiness and harmony in traditional Chinese culture. And in Qiu’s works, he has fully embodied these features.

Looking at Qiu’s paintings, the audience is always struck by his strong visual contrast and deeply touched by the peaceful laughter. However, Qiu presents not only the feature of Maitreya but also philosophic enlightenment and a pursuit for the true meaning of life. Mother and child images fill in the whole picture, representing the most beautiful form, that of the human body and the most selfless love, that between a mother and her child.

The artistic style of Qiu Shengxian has unparalleled aestheticism. Integrating his experience in disciplines such as sculpture, calligraphy and Chinese traditional painting, he has made full use of all the acquired skills to create his own unique signature.

In a world full of struggle and fierce competition, Qiu’s work brings every individual a welcome dose of harmony and tranquility.
