莱比锡绘画是少数以特定的地域命名的绘画艺术流派。位于前东德地区的城市莱比锡，由于特定的历史背景和社会现实，产生了一批以在莱比锡平面与书籍艺术学院和这座城市学习和生活背景的艺术家，他们的绘画延续了根植于东德传统绘画风格、技法与观念，从60年代开始，并于90年代后在国际艺术界崭露头角。

New Painting in Leipzig is a rare school of art that is named after acertain location. Leipzig is located in the region of former East Germany. Its special historical background and social realism have given birth to a group of artists who have studied in Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig) and lived in this city. Their artwork, which started to become known beginning in the 1960s to after the 1990s, maintains the traditional artistic style, techniques and ideology of East Germany.

他们写实性绘画技法在严格的基础训练中被保留下来，在东西德统一和全球化的今天，莱比锡绘画的艺术家所面对的现实和环境已大不相同，但作为一种以绘画展开和感知世界的方式，被延续下来，并启发了具象绘画在当代的复兴，其精神至今仍绵延不绝。正如《莱比锡百科》中提到：“莱比锡画派的特色在于它是一种要求深入精神及知识，拓展认识层面的现实主义”。

The techniques of their realistic painting have been preserved by strict basic training. In today’s environment after the reunification of West and East Germany together with globalization, the realities and environment which Leipzig painting artists are facing have changed. As a medium for developing painting and understanding the world, it has been preserved and inspired a renaissance in figurative painting in the contemporary era, and its spirit is still alive today. In the “Leipzig Encyclopedia”, it says, “The uniqueness of the Leipzig school lies in that it is a type of realism that stimulates a broad intellect and expands knowledge.”

随着一代代莱比锡的绘画艺术家在具象绘画领域的拓展，莱比锡的新绘画已然成为世界艺术中的一处特别的风景。由于疫情原因，这次展览未能全面展示莱比锡新绘画的整体状态。但仍然邀请到了六位出色的艺术家，以此为契机，希望我们能更多更深入的了解正在发展中的莱比锡的新绘画。

Through the expansion of Leipzig artists in field of figurative painting over generations, the new painting in Leipzig has already become a special trend in the world of art. Due to pandemic, this exhibition is not able to show everything about New Painting in Leipzig in its entirety. Six exceptional artists were invited with the hope that this would be an opportunity for us to better understand the presently developing new painting in Leipzig.

此次展览也旨在致敬中德之间艺术的深刻渊源，以及两个国家文化、经济、生活的密切联系。中德建交50年之际，美好的艺术作品成为我们情感和精神交流的纽带。

This exhibition also aims to pay tribute to the deep roots of art between China and Germany, as well as the close ties of culture, economy and life that both countries share. As China and Germany mark 50 years of diplomatic ties, beautiful works of art have become a bond of emotional and spiritual exchanges between us.
