Belief that never changes

The art that originates from deep inside the artist is inevitably multi-faceted.

It is a good thing to see that China’s contemporary art prospers and radiates in great charm in an age of the full development of individuality and a revisit of the nature of art.

For the past 21 years, Jiade has been providing a platform for trade in art works and leading in China’s growing passion for art collection. We spare no efforts in promoting modern art and displaying the best works in this field. We feel it a great honor to be able to facilitate and influence, to some extent, the development of artists’ work and their careers.

Mr. Yu Runde has been for all these years devoted to the practice of modern art and made impressive achievements after persisting research and innovation. His present show, themed “the temptation of alienation”, is clear in its aspiration and sentiment and distinguishes itself with its unique style and art expression. A reflection on both the contemporary society and life itself, Yu’s works on display originates from his deep inside and in turn affects his mind. If it is the painter’s motto to feel and express human’s inner world and sentiments, Mr. Yu Runde then is living up to that all the time with his belief and elegance.

With the new year around the corner, Jiade and Mr. Yu work together to hold this exposition to share and appreciate art with the public and art collectors.

源自心灵的艺术，必然是多元化的。中国的当代艺术处在可以释放个性和还原本真的时代，艺坛一派异彩纷呈的景象，当是幸事。21年来，嘉德搭建了坚实的艺术交易平台，同时，引领艺术收藏的风尚，力推当代艺术，倾力展出其精品力作。

能对艺术家的创作和艺术事业的发展起着积极的推动作用和影响力，我们深感欣慰。余润德先生多年来致力当代艺术的创作与实践，孜孜不倦的探索与创新，业已取得骄人成就。此次，余润德艺术画展以“疏离的诱惑”为主题，其欲意表达的深刻精神诉求和情感表现可见一斑，其独特的个人风格和丰富的艺术语言，亦将让人产生强烈的情感与思想的认同。

其作品的精神内核和表现形式，是对当今社会的思考，亦是对人生的思考。渗透着画者内心净灵般的轨迹和抒写，涤荡着画者自我的心扉。如果说通过艺术，感知和表达人的内心和情感是画者的信仰，余润德先生无时无刻不践行着他内心淡然纯粹的信念和与众不同的文性和雅气。新年伊始，在嘉德和艺术家余先生的共同努力下举办这个展览，期待艺术家、艺术爱好者和收藏者，获得心灵的共鸣，谨共享、谨共鉴。
