本次展覽以“馬”為主線，集中呈獻(xiàn)中國(guó)當(dāng)代著名畫家曹小欽老師四十余幅精品力作。畫面中駿馬或昂首疾馳，或蓄勢(shì)待發(fā)，奔騰之姿象征奮進(jìn)、力量與希望，也為馬年帶來(lái)喜慶和吉祥。

The exhibition is themed around horses. On display are more than 40 exquisite works by leading Chinese contemporary painter Cao Xiaoqin.Vigorous horses are depicted either galloping ahead or taking the start, serving as a symbol of progress, power and hope and bringing joy and auspiciousness for the Year of the Horse.

第三次來(lái)獅城舉辦畫展

The Third Exhibition Held in Singapore

馬，代表速度、力量、忠誠(chéng)與開(kāi)拓精神。曹小欽老師尤以畫馬聞名，其筆下的駿馬不僅形神兼?zhèn)?，更蘊(yùn)含深厚的人文意涵。此次特展系統(tǒng)呈現(xiàn)了他近年來(lái)創(chuàng)作的作品，讓觀眾近距離欣賞曹老師的獨(dú)特創(chuàng)作技法和藝術(shù)風(fēng)格。

The horse embodies speed, strength, loyalty, and a pioneering spirit. Particularly renowned for his depictions of horses, Mr. Cao Xiaoqin captures not only their form and spirit but also infuses his work with profound humanistic meaning. This special exhibition presents a systematic display of his recent creations, offering audiences an up-close appreciation of Mr. Cao’s distinctive techniques and artistic style.

“這是我第三次來(lái)到新加坡舉辦畫展?！辈苄J分享道：“第一次是2008年，在新加坡中華總商會(huì)舉辦個(gè)展；第二次是2014年，恰逢馬年。今年再度來(lái)獅城，又正值馬年，是一種難得的緣分?！?他談到，自己從1980年代起開(kāi)始研究戰(zhàn)馬、賽馬、馬戲和馬球等題材，專注畫馬已有四十多年。

"This is my third time holding an exhibition in Singapore," shared Cao Xiaoqin. "The first was in 2008, when I held a solo exhibition at the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The second time was in 2014, which coincided with the Year of the Horse. Returning to the Lion City this year, again during a Year of the Horse, feels like a rare and special connection." He mentioned that since the 1980s, he has been studying themes such as warhorses, racehorses, circus horses, and polo horses, dedicating over four decades to painting horses.

曹小欽畢業(yè)于四川教育學(xué)院美術(shù)系，現(xiàn)為中國(guó)美術(shù)家協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)員、中國(guó)職業(yè)畫家協(xié)會(huì)副主席，并在多家藝術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)擔(dān)任要職。他的作品多次在中國(guó)、美國(guó)、法國(guó)、加拿大、澳大利亞等國(guó)家展出，屢獲獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，享譽(yù)海內(nèi)外。

Cao Xiaoqin graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Sichuan Institute of Education. He is currently a member of the China Artists Association, Vice Chairman of the China Professional Painters Association, and holds key positions in several art institutions. His works have been exhibited in countries such as China, the United States, France, Canada, and Australia, where they have received numerous awards and gained acclaim both domestically and internationally.

獨(dú)創(chuàng)“沒(méi)（mò）骨”畫馬技法

Innovative "Mò Gǔ" Horse Painting Technique

在藝術(shù)技法上，曹小欽對(duì)大寫意“沒(méi)骨”畫馬技法進(jìn)行了創(chuàng)造性發(fā)展。他以濕畫法鋪陳整體氣勢(shì)，再以拙樸短線勾勒筋骨結(jié)構(gòu)，繼而用干筆擦掃，強(qiáng)化馬匹的力量感與動(dòng)勢(shì)。墨色在宣紙上自然滲化，枯潤(rùn)相生、虛實(shí)相映，使奔馬仿佛破紙而出，動(dòng)感十足卻不失內(nèi)在節(jié)制。

In terms of artistic technique, Cao Xiaoqin has creatively developed the "Mò Gǔ " style of freehand brushwork in painting horses. He first lays out the overall momentum using wet brush techniques, then outlines the skeletal and muscular structure with simple, short strokes, and finally employs dry brushwork to sweep and scrub, enhancing the sense of strength and dynamism of the horses. The ink naturally diffuses on the rice paper, blending dryness with moisture and interplaying solid forms with empty spaces, making the galloping horses appear as though they are breaking through the paper—full of vitality yet tempered by an inner restraint.

“沒(méi)骨法源于宋代，盛行于清代，講究‘由內(nèi)而外’，不畫外在輪廓，而是通過(guò)墨色與色塊塑造形態(tài)與神韻?！辈苄J表示，用沒(méi)骨法畫馬，要準(zhǔn)確表現(xiàn)駿馬奔馳的動(dòng)感并不容易，需經(jīng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)期反復(fù)的實(shí)踐與積累。他也將書法筆意融入繪畫之中，實(shí)現(xiàn)“書畫同源”，使作品在豪放中見(jiàn)精微，在奔放中蘊(yùn)含傳統(tǒng)氣韻。

"The Mò Gǔ technique originated in the Song Dynasty and flourished during the Qing Dynasty. It emphasizes ‘shaping from within outward,’ focusing not on outlining external contours but on using ink tones and color masses to create form and spirit," explained Cao Xiaoqin. He noted that employing the Mò Gǔ method to depict horses—accurately capturing the dynamic sense of galloping—is no easy feat, requiring long-term, repeated practice and accumulation. He also integrates the brushwork sensibilities of calligraphy into his paintings, achieving a "shared origin of painting and calligraphy," allowing his works to reveal meticulous detail within bold expressiveness and to embody traditional artistic charm amid their unrestrained vitality.

本次展覽由龍藝軒畫廊與新加坡藝術(shù)空間聯(lián)合主辦。龍藝軒畫廊由周子櫻女士2004年創(chuàng)辦，長(zhǎng)期致力于策劃高水準(zhǔn)書畫展覽，積極推動(dòng)傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)的國(guó)際間交流，定期邀請(qǐng)中外知名藝術(shù)家展出作品，并收藏多位藝術(shù)名家的經(jīng)典之作，深受書畫愛(ài)好者青睞。

This exhibition is co-organized by Dragon Art Gallery and The Art Space SG. Founded by Ms. Zhou Zoe in 2004, Dragon Art Gallery has long been committed to curating high-level painting and calligraphy exhibitions, actively promoting international exchanges in traditional art. The gallery regularly invites renowned Chinese and international artists to showcase their works and has collected classic pieces by numerous master artists, earning great appreciation from painting and calligraphy enthusiasts.
