前言
中国与英国，在地球的版图上相隔万水千山，但版画艺术却打开了一扇特殊的时空之门。此次英国皇家版画协会带来了40幅版画作品进行展览，对我们而言，迎来的不仅仅是作品，也是超越民族和国界的对美的共同追求。 
中、英两国都有版画创作传统，英国是木口木刻的发源地，而中国则是木版雕刀印刷术的发源地，也是复制木刻的故乡。如今，版画这个古老的画种焕发出强大的生机，其种类和制作方法都极大的丰富起来，也有越来越多的朋友们喜爱版画，走进美术馆欣赏版画。
艺术是一种意识形态，是一种精神向往和追求，而艺术作品更是艺术家的心血和结晶。英国版画家的作品人物造型活泼而烂漫，色彩理智而细腻，创作内容从现实到幻想，从抽象到具象，从建筑到人物，从自然风景到工业场景，透过这些色彩和肌理，可以领略版画艺术的魅力；透过这些古老或现代的建筑，可以欣赏别样的异域风景，透过这些英雄或平凡的人物，可以体味发掘人性的深度。
十位艺术家的作品，表达着对人文历史和当下社会生活的积极关注与思考，具有鲜明的个人风格、绘画语言和艺术理解。他们在观念、材料和表现形式上进行了新的探索和尝试，可以说，他们的版画创作更自由、更当代、更艺术。
金陵美术馆致力于全面深入的与国内外艺术家建立联系，希望通过此次展览建立起国际化的交流与展示平台，为艺术家提供抒发情感，展示作品，切磋技法的舞台，也希望它能为观众带来更多的启发与思考。

艺术家：Stephen Lawlor（斯蒂芬·劳勒 皇家版画家协会会员）
斯蒂芬·劳勒是一名画家、版画家，现在都柏林工作生活。他于2000-2005担任都柏林版画工作室主席。2016年在北京创立了中央美术学院国际学术版画联盟，在同年成为皇家版画家协会会员。他一直研究15世纪到18世纪的欧洲绘画，并从中精心挑选出适合绘画的元素，用针、酸和刷子做松散的标记。在风景和人类的形式、抽象和定形之间，他的版画想从人们共同的记忆中探索着某种东西，这些东西可以是熟悉的或模糊的，以前幻影残余的影像。我把它们视为朦胧潜意识的小窗口。
Artist: StephenLawlor RE
Stephen Lawlor is a painter & printmaker working and living in Dublin. He lectured at IADT, in printmaking and drawing 1991-97 and was chairman of Graphic Studio Dublin Print Workshop 200005.

Stephen became an associate member of RE in 2016 and was elected a member of Aosdána in 2018.
My work is an ongoing engagement with European painting from 1400 to 1800.
I appropriate elements from carefully selected paintings and juxtapose them through loose mark making with needle, acid and brush.
Between landscape and the human form, abstraction and figuration my prints explore something in our collective memory of images that can be familiar or obscure, ghost-remnants of icons that stretch backward in time. I see them as small windows onto a hazy subconscious.

艺术家：Blaze Cyan （布莱兹·塞恩 皇家版画家协会准会员）
布莱兹出生于威尔特郡，现在在伦敦生活和工作。她于2014年毕业于伦敦城市与协会艺术学校获得了美术硕士学位。并于2017年当选为皇家版画家协会（R.E.）的准会员。布莱兹创作了许多优秀的艺术作品及版画作品。2015年，她加入了“树木学家”国际艺术团体，作为树木的代表。
她会通过绘画、蚀刻、木雕木刻等各种媒介来描绘风景。她喜欢创作关于古树、流逝的时间及怪诞美丽的场景。她的作品往往开始于一种探索，一种对存在于风景中的热爱。她喜欢收集有趣的形状扭曲木块和石头。绘画灵感主要来自森林、林地和古树个体，树木的拟人特征，以及对树木的同情心，因为它们超越了人类的时间尺度和死亡观念。单色的使用创造了一种不自然的完美，一种视觉上的不完整，使那些奇怪扭曲的图案显得令人着迷。
Artist: Blaze Cyan ARE
Blaze was born in Wiltshire and now lives and works in London.
She graduated from the City & Guilds of London Art School in 2014 with an M.A. in Fine Art after a previous career in the fashion industry.
And was elected as an associate member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (R.E.) in 2017. Blaze has shown work with many of the leading art and printmaking societies.
In 2015 she joined ‘The Arborealists’ an international group of artists specializing in the representation of trees.
Working within the mediums of drawing, etching, woodcut and wood engraving, her primary subject area is landscape.
Having a particular fascination with ancient trees, the portrayal of time and the beautiful grotesque.
The work begins as an exploration, a love of being present in the landscape.
Walking to gather sensory information, collecting interesting pieces of twisted wood and stones. Inspiration comes from forests, woodland and individual ancient trees, their anthropomorphic qualities, and the feeling of empathy for them, as they transcend human timescales and ideas of mortality. The use of monochrome creates an unnatural perfection, a visual incompleteness, transforming that which could be distorted and strange to appear fascinating.

艺术家：Veta Gorner （维塔·格尔纳 皇家版画家协会会员）

“我最近的作品是对生活的庆祝，是对生活的高低起伏及高处和低处之间紧张关系的反思。我的作品不仅与身体结构有关，还与思想和情感有关。作品反映了居住环境是如何塑造和改变我们的。作品中可以看出生命是动态的”。
Artist: Veta Gorner RE
Veta Gorner RE gained a degree in Interior Design and Architecture from the St. Petersburg State Artistic and Industrial Academy,
Russia and worked as a graphic and advertising designer before moving to the UK where she studied printmaking and set up her own printmaking studio.
Veta is a consummate draughtsman and she is constantly experimenting with materials and techniques in order to find new ways of print making.
Her work is a fusion of design, engineering, sculpture, architecture, drawing, painting, logic and intuition.
“My recent work is a celebration of life and a reflection upon its highs and lows and tensions in between.
It is concerned not only with physical structure but also with the thought and emotion that move us into action.
It is also about how the environments we inhabit shape and change us.
It is about how a collision of space and form create new animate forms and enhance the borderline energies. It is about life, which is movement.”

The Ashmolean Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.
The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu used the term ‘Habitus’ to describe a system of dispositions; schemes of perception,
thought and actions, tastes and preferences which define the individual.
It is the observation of such characteristics and the way in which we as individuals relate to each other and to the world around us that informs my work.
The content of my paintings, drawings and prints is generated as abstract imagery, but the forms and language of mark-making that develop are intended to be analogies for human dispositions and interaction. In short, people-watching can be illuminating and fun, or even shocking or nasty,
depending on what they are doing; but whatever they are doing tends to reveal something of the human condition and it is that that interests me and informs my work.
