程叢林大地史詩《迎親的人們》、《送葬的人們》這組巨幅畫作——由寬松相宜、真人一般大小的多組人群組成，雕塑般的表現(xiàn)手法使他們看起來真實而具有生命力: 讓人聯(lián)想到生命的始與末。程叢林是傷痕藝術(shù)的重要代表人物，這組巨作是他傾心力作，為美術(shù)史上重要作品，由于作品尺幅的關(guān)系很難得展出。本次因為場地的關(guān)系，本組畫作將分兩次展出，此次先展出《迎親的人們》。敬請把握這個難得能看到原作的機會前來觀賞。

  婚禮，死亡和宇宙   猶如一位歐洲畫家，深得十九世紀風格，出於對彝族生活的偏愛，專程深入中國南部偏遠的山區(qū)，在那兒構(gòu)思了彝族人婚禮及葬禮儀式的畫面，回來創(chuàng)作了兩幅巨型組畫。 程先生學的是西方藝術(shù)，用他自己的話來說是，屬於獻身於油畫藝術(shù)的一代藝術(shù)家。居住在山區(qū)的彝族始終生活在工業(yè)化之前的文化狀態(tài)，這以前對程先生來說也是陌生的。他對彝族的觀察顯然用了兩種不同的眼光：歐洲藝術(shù)的眼光和一個旅遊者好奇的目光。 這組巨幅畫面——由寬鬆相宜、真人一般大小的多組人群組成，雕塑般的表現(xiàn)手法使他們看起來真實而具有生命力：而人群一再被插入的畫面所中斷，這些畫面使人不能不聯(lián)想起宇宙空間的痕跡和原始生命的雛形。 這一沿習傳統(tǒng)生活方式的山民揭示了一個永恆的主題：結(jié)束和新的開始。通過象徵性的插入畫面使這一主題得以普遍化。正如程先生自己所說的，他在尋找，尋找一種新的藝術(shù)形式和展出方式，尋找既非純西方的，又非純東方的藝術(shù)。他的組畫不僅是藝術(shù)規(guī)模上的一種嘗試，就它本身而言也是罕見的、有魅力的。

    Wedding, Death and the Universe   Like an European painter deeply influenced by the style of 19^th century; with preference to the life of Yi nationality, took special trips to the remote areas in south China, composing the scenes of wedding and funeral of Yi nationality and created the two huge painting series. In his words, he’s the generation of artists dedicated in oil painting. The Yi nationality in mountain areas has been living in a cultural state before the industrialization, which was unfamiliar to Mr. Cheng. It’s obvious that he has two different angles in observing the Yi nationality: the angle of European art and the view of a tourist with great curiosity. In the paintings, there are people at the same size of the real who look lively and vigorous with the sculpture-like expression way, while the crowds are constantly interrupted by the inserted pictures, which reminds people of the spatial signs of the universe and the primitive and rudiment lives. The people in the mountains following the traditional way of life are revealing an eternal theme with their wedding and funeral, which is, the death and a new start. The theme gets common to people through the symbolic inserted pictures. As Mr. Cheng says, he’s looking for a new form of art and way of show, and as to the art, it’s neither purely western nor completely eastern. The series of paintings are not only an attempt in art scale, but rare and attractive as artworks.
