现代美术关注审美价值

现代美术关注审美价值，注重对哲学和艺术发展过程的理解。

青岛国际当代艺术展是中国现代美术展之一，以此为平台可以去理解哲学、欣赏作品。我们可以通过艺术展中的作品进行想象，思考其在艺术史上的意义。

青岛国际当代艺术展成功举办了四届，已成为很有影响力的文化艺术品牌活动，成为区域当代艺术发展协作的重要平台以及国内外当代艺术创作和学术交流的重要窗口。作为青岛市国际时尚城重点建设立项项目，第四届青岛国际当代艺术展不仅获得政府方面的大力支持，也得到国内外当代艺术家的广泛关注和积极响应。其中，一大批中青年艺术家积极参与，国内外众多具有代表性的新人新作品参展，具有当代思维意识的水墨、油画、综合材料绘画、装置艺术等作品成为艺术展的主流。本届艺术展推动了不同类别、形式、风格的当代艺术作品创作，从国际视野、文化导向、创作思路、时代特征等方面为当代艺术家的创作提供了参考。

本届艺术展的主题是以多种视角和理论展现青岛当代美术最新成果。其中，有些作品塑造了时空常态中的具体形象，通过展现哲学性思维的构成，创造出引人入胜的理想境界。这体现为符号意义和现象。还有一些作品展示了人与自然和谐相处的生动画面。在21世纪的艺术发展中，这不是自然存在或历史事实，而是从人类的自主意识出发，展现想象的丰富性，这一点值得高度评价。这摆脱了针对某一对象从自然中寻找客观知识的艺术传统，作为思考的主体，艺术家发挥了以创造性为基础的想象力。

第四届青岛国际当代艺术展将展现出青年艺术创作者的创作精神，以及老艺术家们的艺术之魂。我们希望通过本届艺术展，青岛大步迈向国际当代艺术舞台的中心。

Modern Art Emphasizes Aesthetic Values

Modern art pays much attention to aesthetic values, and the understanding of philosophy and artistic process.

Qingdao International Contemporary Art Exhibition, as one of the platforms for modern art shows, offers an opportunity for us to understand art and appreciate artworks. Looking at the works, we can use our imagination to think about the significance of the works in art history.

Qingdao International Contemporary Art Exhibition, held successfully for four sessions, has become an influential cultural and art brand name, an important platform for regional contemporary art development collaboration and for domestic and international art creation and academic exchanges. As a key project for Qingdao's bid to build an international fashionable city, the 4th exhibition is not only supported by the government, but also welcomed and recognized by modern artists at home and abroad. A large number of young and middle-aged artists are taking an active part with many new representative works on display. Works of ink wash painting, oil painting, comprehensive material painting, and installation art which reflect contemporary art philosophies have become the mainstream at the show. The creation of contemporary artworks in different categories, forms and styles is being encouraged. The exhibition offers a valuable reference for artists in terms of global perspectives, cultural trends, creative ideas, characteristics of the times, etc.

This year's exhibition is aimed at presenting the latest achievements of contemporary art in Qingdao from multiple perspectives and through various forms. Some works depict concrete images and create an enchanting ideal atmosphere presented through the framework of philosophical thinking. Some reflect the vivid scenes of man and nature coexisting in harmony. The excellent artworks emerging in the 21st Century fully demonstrate the initiative and imagination of the artists, which is highly commendable. They have gone beyond the art tradition of focusing on a specific object and trying to seek objective knowledge from nature and instead give full play to people's imagination based on creativity.

The 4th Qingdao International Contemporary Art Exhibition will be a grand feast combining the young people's passion for creation and the artistic soul of the veterans. We hope that with this exhibition, Qingdao will march towards an international contemporary art center.
