西南地区当代艺术有一条清晰的脉络。就是从“伤痕反思”到“乡土写实”，从“新具象”画展到“西南艺术群体”，从文献展到“中国经验”画展，然后发展到九十年代，在世纪之交形成三代并存、各有成就的格局。这种渊源在中国大陆的当代艺术中是独一无二的。
在这种延续性中，寻找代表性形象符号成为年轻艺术家表达自身体验的创作手法。但由此也带来值得反省的危险，即样式的功利性和图像的同质化。
置身于丰富而又躁动的创作氛围，四位年轻的在校研究生自愿组合举办“三加一”当代绘画展，更多注重于艺术的实验性，他们尚在变化中而不具备完成的样式。然而，正是跋涉过程中的探索，表达出对于艺术的由衷热爱，令人深深感动。警醒并不意味着回避，恰恰相反，他们能够把各自近期作品予以呈现，与观众交流，秉承的正是西南艺术家直面问题的勇气。只有在问题中不断思索、不断反省，其艺术创作才能真正成熟起来。
四位年轻艺术家的生活经验和生存体验不尽相同，有来自遥远的非洲加纳共和国的约瑟夫、有来自昆明湖畔的邢亚梅、还有两位长期生长在西南腹地的杨晖与张彬。约瑟夫那充满宗教色彩的作品，激扬悲情，狂放而又浓烈，与邢亚梅具本土情境的表现主义作品相得益彰；杨晖与张彬汲取中国传统文化特质，在微妙异样的当代心理体验之中进行尝试性的转换，前者冷峻内敛，后者调侃放松。
对观众而言，每位参展艺术家都是具有独立创作精神的个体。这一点对西南的年轻艺术家尤为重要。只有这样，才能在倾听历史回声的时候发出响亮的应和，才能在当代社会的问题情景中植入对艺术的责任与期待。

Foreword
Zheng na
In southwest of China the contemporary art has a clear thread.It is just that from "wounds Reflection" to "native realism," "like a new" art exhibition to the "Southwest art groups" from the literature show the "China experience" art exhibition, and then developed in the 1990s, formed at the turn of the century three generations co-existed, and each group achieved it purpose. Such origins in mainland China in the contemporary art is unique.
In such continuity, and in the search, the symbols represented by these young artists are to express their own experiences in a creative way. But the resulting self-examination should also bring the risk that the pattern of utilitarian and the homogenization of images.
Outside the rich and restless creative atmosphere, the four young graduate student in the school organized a voluntary portfolio "three-plus-one" Contemporary Painting Exhibition, more focus on the experimental art, they are still without a complete change in the pattern. However, the journey is in the process of exploring, expressing their sincere love for the arts, it is deeply moving. The alert does not mean avoiding the contrary, they are here to show their recent works and the audience exchange at home, ‘southwest’ and these artists faces the question of courage. Only in the question constantly thinking, constantly reflect on their artistic creativity can truly mature.
There are two long-term growths in the hinterland of the Southwest, Yang Hui and Zhang Bin. Joseph then filled with religious themes and works by enhancing the Sadness, Wild and thick, with the situation with local criminal Ya-mei,s performance of works complement each other; Yang Hui Zhang Bin studied the traditional Chinese cultural peculiarities in the delicate strange psychological experience of a contemporary art. The conversion attempt of the former冷峻restrained, the latter fun relaxed.
To a viewer, each participating artists has an independent creative spirit. This is particularly important in southwest for every young artist’s life. Only in this way we will be able to listen to the historical echo of the times and seasons we live in.
