凝 视
凝视，是一种独特的视角，是一种无言的状态。在艺术家曹萍看来，绘画本身就是一种凝视，是由际遇深处生发而出的。
曹萍酷爱绘画,她认为绘画是人们寄予感情的一种方式，是关于回忆的，是一种凝固的激情。
绘画在中国有五千年历史，有着非常严酷的体系。在当下的环境下，绘画更应该在以前的体系下推陈出新。花鸟画，在中国古代多为小品，而曹萍用西方的方式重新理解了花鸟的构图，把它扩大化，同时与西方对人物内心的理解方式相结合。她的绘画包含了东西方传统的融合，同时又有非常个人化的体验。
此次展览中，曹萍将为我们呈现她对于自然的理解，对艺术的感受。巨幅作品《四月》表达了生与死的交替状态，四月，是冬季刚刚过去，春天开始的时节，这幅作品让我们想起英国诗人托马斯••斯特恩斯•艾略特的诗作《荒原》中的句子：“四月是最残酷的季节”；作品《玫瑰园》中，描绘了三五个女孩、孔雀和花鸟，姿态各异，相映成趣的景象，这幅作品犹如“现代版的仕女图”……
曹萍对于东西方的绘画有着自己深刻的思考和独到的理解，她认为西方绘画是描述性的，是关于人在生死、欲望面前的反应；而东方绘画如山水、花鸟画等，是隐喻和比喻性的，更多的是对自然以及人在环境中的关系的理解。
自20世纪90年代，曹萍移居荷兰，她坦言作为一位中国艺术家，在了解了西方的视觉体系之后，一直在考虑的是如何将自己民族的文化体系中有价值的东西发掘出来，融入自己的创作中。同时她也说：“我的艺术方式，既不代表东方，也不代表西方，但也不强调东西方的对抗，我的作品更多的是个人的感受，但这种感受又是世界的”。
曹萍说：“21世纪是一个东西方交融的时代，东西方都要把自己文化中最好的东西拿出来”，她正在为此而努力。在当下，艺术形式如此多元化，艺术家有着很多选择，但曹萍说她依然对绘画情有独钟，因为在她看来，绘画是一种可以个人独立完成的艺术形式，而当个人对别人的需要越来越少时，内心就会越来越自由。
曹萍用自己最喜爱的绘画通往了心灵的自由，我们祝福她！
GAZING
Gazing means a unique outlook and a silent insight. In the eyes of artist Cao Ping, painting itself is a form of gazing, generated by the encounter of a destiny of your own.
Being intrigued by painting profoundly, Cao Ping looks at the art as an outlet of feeling, a solidified passion about memories.
With a history of five thousand years, painting in China has adopted an extremely systematic pattern. However, under the current environment, painting should grow some new seeds in the soil of old tradition. In ancient China, flower-and-bird painting was more regarded as a small-scaled sketch. With a reference to the western expressions, Cao Ping re-interprets the composition of the bird-and-flower sketching and attaches to it a magnifying effect and a western approach to the inner feelings. Therefore, her paintings manifest a meeting of eastern and western traditions and a style of personalized experience.
In the exhibition, Cao Ping will present us her understanding of nature as well as her artistic feelings. The huge piece of work April expresses an alternate state of life and death. April is a moment when winter just passes and spring comes. This work of painting reminds us a line of "The Waste Land" , poem by the English poet T. S. Eliot: "April is the cruelest month." The work Rose Garden, depicting three or five girls in the glamorous scene of peacocks, flowers and birds, is very much a modern version of the “figures of ladies” paintings…
For the eastern and western painting styles, Cao Ping has her own unique, profound understanding. In her view, the western paintings are descriptive and tell about human reactions of desires and life-and-death issues, while the oriental paintings, such as those of landscapes and flowers and birds, are metaphorical and analogical, more related to comprehension of nature and human relationship with nature.
Since 1990's, Cao Ping has moved to the Netherlands. She admitted that, as a Chinese artist with knowledge of the western visual art system, she has been thinking of how to explore something valuable out of the cultural tradition of her own so that it could be absorbed into her artistic creation. However, she claims, "My artistic approach represents neither the East nor the West, nor the East-West confrontation. My work has been more involved in a personalized feeling, which happens to be universal as well."
"The 21st century is an era when East and West integrate,” Cao Ping said, “and each should present the best of its culture." She means what she says and keeps practicing. Nowadays, due to the availability of diverse art forms, artists have a lot of options. Yet Cao Ping still asserts a stubborn love for painting. In her view, painting is a kind of fine arts which can be accomplished independently by one’s own; and importantly, when you demand so less from others, your freedom at heart grows so more.
Truly, for Cao Ping, the loved painting leads to the soul freedom. May her be blessed!
