【新唐人2012年6月26日讯】位于北京郊区的“宋庄”，聚集着数以百计的大陆艺术家，他们在村内设立工作室创作，或办画廊搞展览，成为京城著名的“画家村”。最近，宋庄有艺术展开幕，其中不乏针对中共的大胆之作。有喑喻中共政权正在沉沦的，也有讥讽中共让当今社会缺少灵魂的。艺术家们的创作频频踩踏中共底线，令当局大感头痛。
“宋庄”近期有多个作品展开幕，其中部分作品的大胆程度，引人关注。
画家“成败”的油画《天安门沉沦》，画的是天安门城楼半浸于一片汪洋大海中，有人在水中拚命游走。
艺术家朱柯明指出，天安门在这幅画中代表的是中共政权。
艺术家朱柯明：“天安门是汪洋大海，一片水的时候说明这个政权要沉没了，要完蛋了。我们要是按它这幅画去想，这个水再往上涨，那这个政权就不存在了，天安门不存在了，寓意共产党这个政权不存在了，这个邪党政权不存在了。有一个人在里边游泳，也是预告大家：‘你赶快游开，离开这个危险的地段。’”
尽管这幅画被认为是暗喻中共政权沉沦，但有几名访民还是勇敢的在画前留影。
而画家“追魂”的系列《目中无人》，画的是一些没头没脚的，或者身穿校服、或者身穿囚服的人在街上行走，令人遐想。行为艺术《挂满口罩的铁丝网》，则讽刺中共禁止言论自由。
画家了大愿：“我看到这些画，我觉得很有意思。 艺术家很真实地表现了这个社会的真实。《目中无人》，所有人都是没有头的，表现了在中共暴政的高压下，人们是没有灵魂的，没有自由思想的，像行尸走肉一样。”
画家“了大愿”指出，中国大陆在中共暴政的统治下，一切表达自由的方式都被中共扼杀了。
了大愿：“堂堂正正去表达对自由的向往是不可能了，只会遭到扼杀，那么艺术家的智慧就会产生更多的、有力量的、涵义更深刻的作品。中共历来以革命的名义去杀人，以稳定的名义去扼杀自由和人权，现在中国大陆的艺术家就以艺术的名义，来表达对自由对人权对民主的渴望，来表达这种权利，来突破这种封锁。”
实际上，宋庄因为艺术家们大胆和出位的创作，而多次引发政治事件。
去年年初，中东爆发的“茉莉花革命”浪潮也影响了大陆，艺术家们曾举办《埋葬茉莉花》作品展，引起轰动，招致当局打压，多位艺术家被拘禁。
其中，画家“追魂”去年就因为创作《用党旗上吊》被拘禁一个月。
此后，当局一直对宋庄艺术展严加监控。
朱柯明指出，民众对中共邪党不满和愤怒的表现遍地都是。这种行为艺术的出现，体现了中共专制政权的邪恶程度。
朱柯明：“中国人是非常聪明和智慧的，你再怎么封闭，也不能真正的把老百姓对现政的不满，对邪恶的不满真正封闭。有一句话叫作‘水可载舟亦可覆舟’，人人都觉得你这个政权不应该存在了，人人都觉得你一点用都没有了，一点好都没有了，大家都对你非常愤怒的时候，人人都这么说，天天在念叨，天天在念叨，你真的就完蛋了！”
今年的作品中，还有一副“飞机奔向自由女神像”的作品，引起了参观者的讨论。它表达了中国人民渴望自由那颗真切而急迫的心。

Beijing Art Exhibition: Painting for Freedom and Rights
In the outskirts of Beijing, hundreds of Chinese artists have
set up studios, art galleries and exhibitions in the renowned artist village of Song Zhuang.
Song Zhuang’s recent exhibition has caught the public’s eye
for its boldness—using metaphor to depict the collapse of
the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) and mock the regime’s
evil nature, which has stolen the Chinese people’s souls.
The artists’ wisdom and creations have touched
the sensitiveness of the CCP and have caused the authorities headaches now and then.
Several art exhibitions were recently held in Song Zhuang—
the boldness of some works brought compelling results.
The oil painting, “The Downfall of Tiananmen" shows
the central Tiananmen Gate Tower immersed half into water with a man desperately swimming for survival.
Artist Zhu Keming interprets that the Tiananmen Tower
in the picture symbolizes the CCP regime.
Zhu Keming: " Tiananmen Tower being trapped by
the flood water means the arrival of the regime’s demise.
In this picture, if we imagine that the water keeps rising,
the regime won’t exist.
The vanishing of Tiananmen Tower implies the same fate
for the evil CCP regime.
The swimming man is alerting the public to quickly escape
from this dangerous section.”
Several brave petitioners took photos in front of
the Tiananmen Tower painting.
The series, “Not a Soul in Sight”—painted by an artist known
as ‘Soul-seeking’—portrayed people without heads or feet,
walking on the streets wearing school or prison uniforms.
Performance art, “Barbed Wire Covered with Mouth-Muffles"
alluded to the CCP’s banning of free speech.
Liao Dayuan (painter): “I find these paintings very interesting
because the artists very truly depict the real world in China."
The painting “Not a Soul in Sight” shows headless people—
it’s telling us that under the CCP’s high-handed ruling,
people have become soulless, without freedom of thought—
just like walking corpses."
Liao Dayuan says the CCP’s tyranny strangled all channels
for people to express their longing for freedom.
Liao Dayuan: “All overt and dignified expression of one’s
longing for freedom are blocked; it’s stifling.
That motivates artists to develop their wisdom in producing
more powerful and profound works.
The CCP has always killed people in the name of revolution;
stifling freedom and human rights in the name of stability.
Now Chinese artists—in the name of art—are expressing
their thirst for freedom, human rights and democracy, to break through the CCP’s blockade.”
Art exhibitions in Song Zhuang have triggered political
events in the past, for their bold and creative expression.
In early 2011, the Jasmine Revolution in the Middle East
affected mainland China.
Officials cracked down and detained artists for the exhibition
“Burying the Jasmine”, which had caused quite a sensation.
Among the artists detained, painter Soul-seeking was held
for 1 month for his work ‘Hang Oneself With The Party Flag’.
Authorities have since been closely scrutinizing the
exhibitions in Song Zhuang.
The wide spread discontent and fury over the CCP’s ruling
has spread over the whole country, says Zhu Keming.
The appearance of such an expression of art reflects the
extent of the evil which the CCP has imposed on China says.
Zhu Keming: “Chinese people are very talented and wise.
No matter how the regime blocks them,
it cannot really succeed in sealing off the civilians’
dissatisfaction with its ruling and its evil nature.
There is a saying in China, “Water can float your boat,
it can also sink it."
When everyone agrees to remove the regime,
thinking it an absolute evil and useless,
and outraging what it has done,
the regime will really be doomed! “
The painting, “A Plane Heading For the Statue of Liberty",
sparked visitors’ discussion.
It expresses the Chinese’s sincere and urgent desire
for freedom.
