道家主张人应蕴含并保持朴素、纯真的自然天性,不要因沾染虚伪、狡诈而玷污、损伤人的天性,也就是要抱朴含真。这是道家思想对于人性的理想。事理皆通,延伸到艺术领域也是如此。从艺者应该保持淳朴的天性,以清澄的眼睛去观察世界,并在这样的基础上,在不断的否定与肯定的交替中提炼升华自己的艺术。抱朴含真是一个好的艺术家应该具备的品质之一,甚至于可以说是艺术创作的道德思想的前提。直面孙文刚的油画,观者可以体会到这样的品质。他最近的创作题材以风景为主,倾向于用印象派的观察方法和传统写实绘画造型的融合,用写实的油画语言叙述特定的情景。从印象派运动之后,艺术的主流早已经从客观地表达自然逐渐演变为主观地表现 Taoists advocate that people should imply and maintain simple, innocent natural nature. They should not be contaminated with hypocrisy, deceitfulness and defilement, thus impairing the nature of human beings, that is, they should embrace simplicity and truth.

After the Impressionist movement, the mainstream of art has gradually evolved from the objective expression of nature to the subjective expression
