在我所认识的艺术家朋友中,占山是一个很特别的人。他是一个地道的北京人,但他不是北京“城”里人,在他身上没有我在一般的北京长大的艺术家身上经常能见到的那种“纨绔”的味道。他是一个认真的人,一个对土地和生命充满了热爱的人。所以,我们在占山的作品并没有看到时下所流行的那种调侃和玩世的气质,反之,是一种内在的,质朴的责任感和忧患意识。 Among the friends of artists I know, Zhan Shan is a very special person. He is an authentic Beijinger, but he is not a Beijing native. He does not have the kind of “纨 绔” that I can often see on an average artist who grew up in Beijing. He is a serious person, a person who is full of love for land and life. Therefore, our work in Zhanshan does not see the kind of ridicule and cynicism that is popular nowadays. On the contrary, it is an inherent sense of rustic responsibility and sense of urgency.
