当我犹豫着写下上面这个题目的时候,连我自己都怀疑,我是不是开始变得保守起来了,因为在现代艺术思潮席卷艺坛的今天,作为年轻人,若是谈先锋、谈前卫,可能没有人会感到奇怪,既使是那些对前卫、先锋不理解或不屑于理解的人,也会认为这很正常。虽然自90年代起,艺术的走向开始有了某种回归的趋势,可是若说“走入传统”,仍会给人一种要走回头路的感觉,通常,人们对走回头路总是少有喝彩的。但如果我们认真看了陈进海的陶艺近作,恐怕多少会对“走回头路”的选择产生新的认识。 When I hesitated to write the above question, even I myself wondered whether I was beginning to become conservative because in today’s artistic trend swept the art scene, as a young man, talking about avant-garde, avant-garde, Perhaps no one will be surprised, even those who are avant-garde, pioneer do not understand or disdain to understand, it will be considered normal. Although art has started to return to some sort of trend since the 1990s, it is still going to give people a feeling of going backwards if they say “going to tradition.” Often, there is little cheering about going backwards of. However, if we carefully read Chen Jinhai’s recent pottery work, I am afraid that we may have a new understanding of the choice of “going backwards.”
