灣區知名書畫家陸源「傳家寶」書法作品專輯展覽5日在聖荷西開幕，此次展覽共展出陸源近期書法作品六十多幅。
陸源表示，在書法世界浸淫已超過四十年，隨著年齡和閱歷的增長，越覺得中國書法是世界藝術領域的一朵奇葩；自己的書法作品專輯取名為「傳家寶」，是借用中國書香世家常在大廳中堂懸掛書法作品作為後代子孫家訓的文化傳統；一方面期許自己的書法作品能成為他人的傳家之寶，同時也希望書法藝術能走入家家戶戶，獲得實用與重視。
為讓更多朋友能進一步了解書法藝術發展的淵源及前景，陸源特於13日下午2時至4時舉辦專題講座，講題為「進入有趣的中國書法世界」。他除了為現場觀眾講解中國書法藝術發展的歷史外，還特別預備了一套自己如何學習書法的綱要，提供書法愛好者參考。講座內容深入實在，全程開放發問，誠摯的歡迎各界朋友同來探究。
作品展覽地點：4880 Stevens Creek Blvd.，#104，San Jose；開放時間：中午12時至下午6時。欲知活動詳情，請與活動負責人郎豪莉小姐聯絡408-580-7232。

Artist’s Word
It’s been decades since I was first introduced to calligraphy by my grandfather when I was six; during this period of time despite being interrupted by events in life, I have never doubted my passion and love for calligraphy.
The origin of Chinese calligraphy can be traced back to the early days of China. As an artistic item, the evolution and transition of calligraphy can hardly be put in just a few words. As a veteran learner for decades, I also embrace high expectations for my own artistic expression whether if I will create a new phase in the realm of calligraphy in 21st century in addition to showing the utmost respect to the efforts and results by these Chinese calligraphers of all the past dynasties.
I deem Chinese calligraphy to be a result of “writing” and “lettering” or a result of “abstract expression,” rather than “drawing.” “Abstract expression” is distinct from “drawing” with its exterior writing style and the perception of its intrinsic spirit.
Anyone who has brought himself into contact with Chinese calligraphy will learn that the good mastery of calligraphy will attribute to long lasting and diligent practice, thus leading many to consider it a good way to cultivate their minds. More than a composition of the eight principles of “Yong” simply covering the presentation of brushworks of dot, horizontal, vertical, left-falling and right-falling strokes or a display of variant patterns, calligraphy is the integral embodiment cohering thousand years of cultural and artistic profundity in Chinese history. More than diligent practice, the imperative principle to have a good mastery of the “writing” or “lettering” state of the calligraphy is to go deep into the state of “abstract expression.” The lack of solid foundation in Chinese learning and long lasting inner tranquility and introspection will not lead to its true essence.
The accomplishment of “writing,” “lettering” and “abstract expression” presented by calligraphy will eventually lead to a realm of “creation,” thus posing the real challenges to a calligrapher who will start to demonstrate his actual strength.
Having dedicated my life to calligraphy more than four decades, I have found Chinese calligraphy a remarkable work in the global realm of arts with the advancement of age and experience. As an artist of Chinese descent resided in US for two decades, I can assure myself that it’s rare for someone like me as an artist who still keeps delving in the world of calligraphy and searching for the breakthrough to produce extraordinary results. Alongside being engrossed in the wonder of the calligraphy, I am in high expectation of producing distinctive works of calligraphy to embody the signification and spirit of era and make great contribution to calligraphic art, in hopes of turning myself into a new “leading man” in the international world of calligraphy.
I sincerely look forward to having your visiting and feedback, and hope my works will bring joy and meaning to your life.

作者的話
自六歲受外祖父啟蒙習字至今，匆匆已過數十寒暑，雖然中間曾有間斷時刻，也曾有過怠惰情緒，但内心對於書法的熾熱卻從未消減過。
中國書法的歷史淵遠流長，做為一個藝術項目來說，它的變化和轉折絕非三言兩語可詳述的。做為一個習字數十年的人來說，我除了對中國歷代書法家所做的努力和成果投以最大的尊敬外，也對自己否能在二十一世紀的書法藝術領域裡開創出一個新局有著極大的期許。
我認為中國書法是“寫”和“書”出來，或可說是“意”出來的，而非“畫”出來的。而“意”與“畫”之間最大的不同就在於外在筆法和內在精神的體會。
任何對中國書法稍有了解的人都知道，要想寫得一手好字就少不得長時間的苦練。也因此許多人把練字當成是修身養性的好方法。但書法絕非僅僅一個“永字八法”的結構組合，簡單的涵蓋點、横、豎、撇、捺等筆法表現，或是作一些變體的圖案展示而已，更多的是中國數千年文化藝術深度凝聚的整體展現。所以，要“寫”或是“書”好書法，除了苦練之外，根本之務是要能 “意”好書法。而要進入“意”的境界，沒有扎實的國學根底，長時間的心靈沉澱和反思，是難以領略其中真諦的。
而在“寫”、“書” 和“意”好書法之後，最終還要能進入“創作”的境界。而此時才是挑戰和展現一位書法家實力的時候。
在書法的世界裡浸淫已超過四十寒暑，隨著年歲和閱歷的增長，越發覺得中國書法是世界藝術領域裡的一個奇葩。做為一位居美二十年的華裔藝術家，我相信目前像我這樣仍孜孜不倦的在書法世界裡鑽研、尋求突破並能交出成績單的畫家並不多見。而在醉心於享受書法美妙世界的同時，我希望自己的書法作品能不斷更新，展現個人的特色和時代的意義與精神，為書法藝術作出貢獻，進而成為國際書法藝術界的另一個“山頭”。
之所以為作品取名《傳家寶》，是藉用中國書香世家均會在大廳中堂懸掛書法作品以為後代子孫家訓的傳統文化，一方面期許自己的作品能成為他人的傳家之寶，同時也希望書法藝術能走入家家戶戶，獲得實用與重視。最後，誠摯的歡迎和感謝您的光臨，並不吝給予批評指正。
