During this edition of the Contemporary Salon,Echo: Contemporary Art Exhibitionat Booth M08 was jointly organized by the France-China Economic, Cultural and Educational Exchange Association,Contemporary Oil Painting, and Beijing Longyin Yafeng Art Museum. With its unique perspective and profound depth, the exhibition offered visitors a refreshing and distinctive artistic experience.
艺术家张肇达的作品《醒狮》在“回声：当代艺术展”展览期间颇受瞩目。观众在这幅纸本水墨前停留良久，试图解读雄狮“一眼定神，一瞬破静”的觉醒瞬间。东方水墨的留白与厚重墨势遇见巴黎这座艺术古都的多元观众，作品所承载的觉悟、自省与奋起之意，恰与展览主题“回声”形成深层共鸣，回应着当代艺术语境中关于生命力量与跨文化对话的追问。
Artist Zhang Zhaoda’s work Awakening Lion garnered considerable attention during Echo: Contemporary Art Exhibition. Visitors paused for extended periods before this ink-on-paper piece, attempting to interpret the moment of “a single glance commanding focus, a single instant breaking the stillness.” As the negative space (liubai) and heavy ink momentum of Eastern ink painting encountered the diverse audiences of Paris—ancient capital of art—the themes of awareness, introspection and resurgence embedded within the work formed a profound resonance with the exhibition theme Echo, responding to contemporary art’s ongoing inquiries into life force and cross-cultural dialogue.
此次展览《醒狮》在巴黎凡尔赛国际会展中心与世界观众相遇，证明了艺术确实能够跨越山海，在不同文化背景的注视下激起涟漪。在这场国际当代艺术沙龙展的舞台上，《醒狮》完成了其跨越时空的“苏醒”。
At this exhibition, Awakening Lion met global audiences at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, proving that art can indeed traverse mountains and seas, stirring ripples under the gaze of diverse cultural perspectives. On the stage of this International Contemporary Art Fair, Awakening Lion completed its transcendent “awakening” across time and space.
《醒狮》以“醒”为魂，以“狮”为象，捕捉雄狮由静入动的瞬间神态。画中狮首侧立，目光锐利而凝聚，既有久经沉潜后的冷静，又隐含即将爆发的力量。画面以浓淡相生的墨色塑造狮首轮廓，鬃毛如狂风翻涌，笔触苍劲而富有节奏，展现出生命的力量与张力。留白的背景与厚重的墨势形成鲜明对比，深化“醒”的主题，仿佛从虚无中苏醒。
作品借醒狮之威，寓意觉悟、自省与奋起，展现出东方语境中由沉寂走向觉醒的生命状态。
Awakening Lion takes “awakening” as its spiritual core and “lion” as its visual motif, capturing the instantaneous demeanor of a male lion transitioning from stillness to motion. The lion’s head is depicted in profile, its gaze sharp and focused, conveying both the calm of deep submersion and the implicit power of an imminent eruption. The composition employs ink tones of varying density—light and dark mutually generating—to sculpt the lion’s contours. The mane churns like a raging gale, executed with vigorous, rhythmic brushstrokes that manifest the power and tension of life. The blank background forms a stark contrast with the heavy ink momentum, deepening the theme of “awakening”—as if emerging from nothingness into consciousness.
Drawing on the majesty of the awakening lion, the work symbolizes awareness, introspection, and resurgence, presenting a state of life in the Eastern context that moves from silence toward awakening.
