艺术展览

Describe an art exhibition you have visited.

You should say:

1. What it was about

2. When and where it was held

3. What you saw in this exhibition

4. And explain how you felt about this exhibition

I once saw an art exhibition in the national gallery in my home city. It was an exhibition from a modern artist from Guizhou. There were several examples of painting, sculpture, and a room with a full art installation in it. It really stands out in my memory because everything was centred around the concept of light, and lights and patterns in myriad colours were projected over the artworks from projectors on the ceilings of the various exhibition halls. It was a stunning exhibition and quite hard to describe in words really. It’s not easy to describe modern art, even in one’s own language, let alone in a second language! But, anyway, it was exciting and really made me think. The thing I really enjoy about some of this more abstract, modern art, is that it provokes a host of interesting thoughts and inspirations about life. I really find that quite enjoyable because I’m quite into philosophy and culture, so things that inspire these kinds of thoughts, I get really excited about. I do find some modern art just too abstract or too ridiculous, though, but this particular exhibition was very popular with a lot of people I know, even people who are not so into modern art. The theme of nature and flowers, projected across quite industrial sculptures and paintings, provided a very curious and interesting contrast and made me contemplate how our daily lives, especially in cities, are quite dominated by machines, and how it’s so easy to forget about nature and the importance of the natural world for sustaining our life. I bought a few postcards from the exhibition and even got the chance to talk a little bit with the artist who was there at the time being interviewed by a several media outlets. There are few art exhibitions I’ve enjoyed as much as this one. I found it was particularly special and unique.

我曾经在家乡的国家美术馆看过一个艺术展。那是一个来自贵州的现代艺术家的展览。有几个绘画、雕塑的例子，还有一个房间里有一个完整的艺术装置。在我的记忆中，它真的很突出，因为一切都围绕着光的概念，各种颜色的灯光和图案从各个展厅天花板上的投影仪投射到艺术品上。这是一个令人惊叹的展览，真的很难用语言来描述。即使是用自己的语言来描述现代艺术也不容易，更不用说用第二语言来描述了。但是，无论如何，它是令人兴奋的，真的让我思考。我真的很喜欢一些比较抽象的现代艺术，就是它能引发一系列关于生活的有趣思考和灵感。我真的觉得这很有趣，因为我很喜欢哲学和文化，所以激发这些思想的东西，我真的很兴奋。我确实觉得有些现代艺术太抽象或太荒唐，但这次展览很受我认识的很多人的欢迎，甚至是不太喜欢现代艺术的人。自然和花的主题，投射在相当工业化的雕塑和绘画上，提供了一个非常好奇和有趣的对比，让我思考我们的日常生活，特别是在城市里，是如何被机器所控制，以及如何很容易忘记自然和自然世界对维持我们生活的重要性。我*了几张展览的明信片，甚至有机会和当时正在那里接受多家媒体采访的艺术家聊了几句。我很少有像这次的艺术展那样喜欢。我觉得它特别特别的独特。
