田卫 Tian Wei
出生于1973年，现工作生活于北京。与盛行的观念艺术相反，田卫的创作恰恰是企图剔除艺术创作中的智慧和明确的想法，以“行动”本身来说明艺术的当代意义。或许，这就是绘画作为一种“行为”对现代人浮躁焦虑心灵的净化；而画面中闪耀的一线一点，恰似生命与精神的原点。
田卫曾于北京今日美术馆、北京798东京画廊、上海朱屺瞻艺术馆等举办个展。且作品先后于中国美术馆、北京民生现代美术馆、上海多伦现代美术馆、四川美术馆、山西美术馆、西安美术馆等展出。
Born in 1973, now works and lives in Beijing.Contrary to popular concept art, Tian wei attempts to eliminate the wisdom and explicit ideas off artistic creation, but illustrates the contemporary meaning of art by “action”. Perhaps, this is a purification of the modern people's anxieties using painting as an “action”. The glimmering line and dot in the picture are like the origin of life and spirit.
Tian has held solo exhibitions in Today Art Museum, Beijing; Tokyo Gallery, Beijing; Zhu Qizhan Art Museum, Shanghai. His works have been exhibited in The National Art Museum, Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum, Shanghai Ai Doland Museum of Modern art, Sichuan Art Museum, Shanxi Art Museum and Xi 'an Art Museum.

光
“光”的造字甚奇，甲骨文里是人字上面一个火字。今天西方科学发现人身有光，且头部之光最为明亮。先人造字象形而作，此字或可解为人首有光如火，殊有神趣。更为有趣的是，我们习惯的成语“回光返照”竟也被德国学者所证，人于濒死，身光增亮百倍之多。据密宗生死书所载，人死后将有两次获得解脱机会的明光出现，很多科学濒死实验也验证了明光确有其事，只是认识不同，称谓有异。光在印象中总是美好而温暖的，宗教中的光更似乎隐着解脱的路径。佛道两家典籍里记载了很多光：慧光、蟾光、真光、性光等，每每读到常心生向往。
时间于我而言如净化器具。心灵一遍一遍在漫长的时光里洗沉，去除自以为是的机巧，那深深隐藏的一线光芒慢慢在画面里呈现出来。虽只是一星一点的微光，却充满生机与希望，指引我穿越黑暗的过去与同样黑暗的未来，前往生命与精神的原点。
The creation of Chinese character of "光(light) " is very interesting. ln oracle bone script, it is a combination o ''fire (on the top)" and " people (at the bottom)" . Nowadays, western science has found out that there is light in human beings; head is the brightest part. Our ancestors created characters by imitating the image they represent, so interestingly, the character "light” can be interpreted as follows, there is light as bright as the fire in the head of human beings. More interesting is "momentary recovery of consciousness just before death” is proved by German scholars: the light within people is hundreds of times brighter just before death. According to the Book of Living and Dying of Vajrayana, there are two lights that would bring about relief. Many scientific experiments conducted at the time of impending death have proved the light does exist. So only the understanding and naming of it are different. Light impressed people with its good and warmth. ln religion, light indicates the access to relief. Both Buddhist and Taoist classics record various lights, like Huiguang light (light of wisdom), Changuang light (moonlight), Zhenguang light (light of truth), and Xingguang light (light of nature). l am attracted every time l come across them in reading.
Time for me is a purifying instrument. My heart has been washed time and again for a long time. When conceited contrivance was washed away, hidden light showed up. Vague as it is, the light is dynamic and promising, which leads my way through dark past and future to the original point of life and spirit.
