沈瑞筠是一位在生活、在艺术领域的思考者。她将那些无边无际的印象转化成多样有趣的艺术形态，运用丰富的材质进行创作，从记忆的片段中使艺术结构得到新生。她通过作品诠释自己对世界、对生活的思考，并以互动的体验骚动观众的心，促使观众参与思考。
    

    
    时间、空间对于沈瑞筠来说，或许是人生最重要的体验，她从各种地域位置和文化情境中吸收艺术理念与创作题材，寻求人生不同寻常的感悟。这些丰富的生活经历及艺术造诣促使她更善于将艺术语言放入平常生活中，一如她的作品向我们叙述着一个个不同的光景，那些细腻缜密的笔触线条却能给予你最纯粹的艺术感官，富有力量和丰满的可读性，更直接地带领我们阅读她的内心。
    

珍宝盒-之九（装置） Boxes of Curiosity No.9 (Installation) 综合材料 Mixed media 18x20x30cm 2013

    
    此次展览是沈瑞筠为我们构建的一次对时空的探讨。时光在她水墨工笔的清浅中，在绢面油彩的浓重间，在影像装置的流动里刻下光影痕迹，如同日光之下，一段美妙而宁静致远的旋律。黑与白、明与暗的展览空间是当下的存在，也是时光的流转、重叠；是化整为零的无物，却也是达摩禅修的无限世界。

    展览中多种艺术表现形式向我们阐述着关于时间、物件、景致与生活。沈瑞筠用她的创作拼贴出一系列生活时光、生命感悟，赋予那些埋没在内心深处不易被记起的触动一个重生。同时，她对物品的情感使她的创作具有更强烈的观念性，时间的延伸是她艺术观念的见证，如同考古学家般探究人类历史，并以天马行空的超现实风格，引领观众至现代乌托邦。

    艺术是心灵转换的过程，是人与人之间心灵的交流，是人和自然万物的交相呼应，不必强加什么深沉的哲思，更重要、更美妙的是不同个体的解读与领悟。李渔在《闲情偶寄 芙蕖》一文中写道：是芙蕖也者，无一时一刻不适耳目之观，无一物一丝不备家常之用者也。我们要做的，就是走进作品，寻找自己的芙蕖，享受当下的一时一刻，一物一境，体验时光物境折射出的光亮世界，感受不期而遇的精彩。

    Ruijun Shen is a thinker in life and art. She transforms those boundless impressions into interesting and diverse art forms, and use rich materials for creation, renewing artistic structure from fragments of memory. She makes her own interpretation of the thinking about the world and life through her works, using the experience of interaction to attract the audience, prompting the audience to participate in thinking.
    
    Maybe time and space are the most important experiences for Ruijun Shen in her life. She absorbs artistic concepts and creative themes from a variety of geographical locations and cultural contexts, seeking unusual insights of life. These rich life experiences and artistic attainments prompted her to be more adept at artistic language into ordinary life, just as her works narrate a different scene, in which those exquisite brushwork and delicate lines are able to give you the most purely artistic sense, which is full of strength and readability, and more directly leads us to read her mind.
    
    This exhibition is Ruijun Shen constructs us a discussion on space and time.Time carved light, leaving marks on the imaging device, like a beautiful and quiet melody under the sun. The exhibition of black and white, bright and dark space is existing right there; it is the flow of time and overlap; it is breaking up the whole into parts; and also it is Damour meditation’s infinite world.
    
    A variety of art forms in the exhibition shows us about the time, objects, scenery and life. Ruijun Shen used her creation to collage out in a series of a life time, life perception, giving a rebirth to those touches that buried deep in our hearts which is not easy to be remembered. At the same time, her emotion to the items makes her works with stronger idea. The extension of time is the witness of her artistic ideas, as archaeologists explore human history, with a powerful and unconstrained surrealism style, leading the audience to a modern utopia.
    
    Art is the process of converting the soul, is the communication of soul among people, is the interaction between people and nature, there is no need to enforce that deep philosophy, what more important and more beautiful is the interpretation and understanding of different individuals. Yu Li wrote in the : All lotuses suit the view of eyes and ears, its all parts suit home use. What we have to do is that to walk into the work, find our own lotus, enjoying the moment and situation by now, and experience that time and mood reflected by the bright world, encounter the accidentally wonderful.
    
    I believe that all of the encounters are destined. As this exhibition here, as the encounter of you and me.
