前言

这是一场感性与理性的视觉对话与碰撞交流，展示了自然科学与艺术灵感的相辅相成。艺术作为连接自然与科学的桥梁，在学术理性的支撑下绽放出丰富多样的形态。

本次展览将围绕水墨画、水彩画、版画等以“情感表达”为主的作品，以及侧重“科学研究”的植物科学画展开。

观察，是艺术的开始，也是科学的起点。当我们观察自然时，我们究竟在看什么？又是如何去“看”的？这些看似简单的问题背后，映照着艺术与科学交织发展的漫长历程。一幅幅以植物为主角的视觉艺术作品，不仅呈现了人与自然关系的变迁，也承载着观察方式与视角的演进，揭示了人类认知世界的多重维度。

绘画艺术与科学插画尽管创作目的不同，却有着共同的核心——对自然的尊重与观察。艺术创作通过情感化的表达展现自然的意境，而科学插画则通过理性的笔触揭示自然的结构与规律。艺术注重氛围与情感，科学插画则追求精确与真实。

展览透过两种视角的并置，揭示艺术创作与科学研究如何在对自然的深度观察中融汇补充、激发灵感；更通过比照观察自然、表现自然的不同方式，展现科学与艺术在植物描绘上的异同与融合，引导观众思考人类如何从不同视角观察和理解自然。

深圳是全国首个系统性提出建设“儿童友好城市”的标杆城市，而深圳美术馆以“聚焦深圳、专注城市”为导向，此次携手深圳市求真插画博物馆（筹），并邀请深圳市仙湖植物园共同在暑期开启一场特别为小朋友设计的趣展融合之旅，展览从作品、展陈及公共教育活动等方面，通过结合艺术与小观众们的需求，探索美术馆公共文化服务的创新模式。展览试图呈现一场具有启发性的艺术文化体验，希望不仅借此丰富儿童感悟自然、获取知识、培养审美的方式，也共同重塑社会对童年价值的认知一一将儿童从被动的观看者转变为主动的创造参与者，希望孩子们在艺术参与中获得成长与快乐。

FOREWORD

This exhibition presents a visual dialogue and encounter between sensibility and rationality, highlighting the complementary relationship between natural science and artistic inspiration. As a bridge between nature and science, art manifests in diverse forms when supported by scholarly and intellectual frameworks.

The exhibition centers on two primary perspectives: one featuring ink paintings, watercolors, and prints that emphasize sensibility and emotional expression; the other focusing on botanical scientific illustrations grounded in scientific research.

Observation is the starting point of both art and science. When we observe nature, what exactly are we looking at? And how do we “see”? These seemingly simple questions reflect the long and intertwined history of art and science. Each plant-centered visual artwork not only reflects the changing relationship between humans and nature but also carries the evolution of observational approaches and perspectives, revealing multiple dimensions of human understanding of the natural world.

Though created with different objectives, artistic painting and scientific illustration share a common foundation: a deep respect for and attentive observation of nature. Artistic practice expresses the essence of nature through sensibility and subjective interpretation, while scientific illustration captures its structure and patterns through precise, methodical rendering. Art emphasizes atmosphere and feeling; scientific illustration seeks clarity and truth.

By placing these two perspectives in dialogue, the exhibition reveals how artistic creation and scientific study converge through detailed observation of nature—informing and enriching one another. It invites viewers to consider the diverse methods by which humans perceive, represent, and relate to the natural world.

Shenzhen is the first city in China to systematically propose the concept of a “Child-Friendly City.” Guided by its mission to “focus on Shenzhen and highlight the urban,” Shenzhen Art Museum is partnering with the Truth-Seeking Illustration Museum of Shenzhen， and inviting Shenzhen Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, to jointly present a summer exhibition specially designed for younger audiences. From curatorial choices to educational activities, the exhibition integrates artistic expression with the needs of children, exploring innovative approaches to public cultural service within the art museum context.

This exhibition seeks to provide an enlightening and inspiring cultural experience—one that not only broadens children’s ways of sensing nature, acquiring knowledge, and developing aesthetic appreciation, but also reshapes how society values childhood. It encourages children to move beyond passive observation and become active participants in artistic creation, allowing them to grow and find joy through engagement with the arts.
