繼2008年中國當代藝術家紙上作品群展“畫紙藏龍”的成功舉辦之後，F2畫廊又再度推出“染紙傾懷”紙上作品展，本次展覽英文名字“In the Mood for Paper”的靈感來自於電影《花樣年華》的英文名“In the Mood for Love”。 而較之當下的經濟環境，在大多數人都受到全球經濟危機壓抑的時候，此次展覽的標題也給這個氛圍增添了些許輕鬆的意味。
儘管展覽的標題略微戲劇化，展覽本身同其他許多展覽一樣具有自己的深度、激情和堅定性。這是一次對話的展覽，它不僅通過漢語、印度語和波斯語，更通過藝術家的筆觸，將藝術家們的靈魂融入其中，將我的夢想融入其中，這其中也可能融入了你的夢想。畫紙很薄，但卻已經足夠承載作品所要表達的意義，作品以相同的方式在闡述不同的語言。展覽將向觀眾陳述時代所擔負的苦難，描述克服這些困難所感受到的喜悅，展現心聲有可能被聽到的興奮之情，害怕被發現的忐忑不安，渴望去觸碰的心情和對於未知的困惑。人不得不去聽那批判的聲音、希望的聲音和鼓勵的聲音，這聲音如此之大以至於人們只有一個選擇那就是逾越偏見。
紙張是一種媒介，它是最簡單最初始的媒介，也與藝術家有著更親密的關係，它能將觀眾和藝術家拉得更近，觀眾幾乎能感受到藝術家在紙張這脆弱的表面所做的每一個動作。
在這次展覽中，我們有機會可以同時欣賞到來自中國、印度、伊朗的三十多位當代藝術家特別激勵人心的創作。作品來自世界上污染較為嚴重的幾個地區，但是展覽中的作品將讓觀眾感受到新鮮空氣，鑒賞大量優秀作品的不同品位、風格和繪畫技巧。
中國、印度和伊朗都是世界歷史上主要的古文明國家，都有著悠久而豐富的藝術傳統，除此之外還有一點重要的共通點就是他們都已經開始重新崛起。他們將多年以來遭受的偏見拋諸腦後，他們需要得到認可需要被聆聽，他們渴望不再被先入為主的成見所挑剔，因為那都是媒體和政治所灌輸給這個社會的。最好的方法就是通過藝術來描述這種轉變。
“In the Mood for Paper”的參展藝術家將向觀眾展示他們現實中的某些狀態和他們與生俱來的豐富的人文精神。展覽將闡述世界同一的主題：愛和夢想，對於藝術的熱愛，包括中國、印度和伊朗在內。

'IN THE MOOD FOR PAPER"
Inspired by the title of the movie "In The Mood For Love", "In The Mood For Paper" is a follow-up of the acclaimed "Crouching Paper, Hidden Dragon" works on paper show held at F2 Gallery in 2008 - a group show of solely Chinese contemporary artists. Here's an opportunity for the first time to experience three influential regional and international powers, China, India and Iran, simultaneously through the eyes and fingertips of over thirty established and emerging contemporary artists, all creating exceptional inspiring works of art. The "lighter" title reflects the very different economical situation in which this show finds place; a severe global crisis that has put a damper on everyone's mood for quite sometime now. Now that the word 'investment" has shifted to the back seat, art is again back for the art lovers and art itself.
Despite of its playful title, the show is one of depth, passion and determination. It's a talking show. It talks to you not in Mandarin, Hindi or Farsi but through the strokes of the brushes dipped in the colors of the artist's dreams, mine and perhaps yours. Through the thin layers of paper strong enough to hold all that it bears to say, every single one speaking the same language of oneness yet so unique. It talks about the pain carried through decades, the joy of making it through, the excitement of the possibilities of being heard, the fear of exposure, the lust of a touch, the uncertainty of the unknown. One can not help but to hear the voices of criticism, hope and encouragement so loud and is left with the choice of crossing the sheer line of prejudice.
The works have been made in some of the most polluted parts of the world, but walking through this exhibition, one will not fail feeling the breathe of fresh air, witnessing a vast amount of diversity in taste, style and technique.
"In The Mood For Paper" is bringing the contemporary Chinese, Indian and Iranian artists together to present some aspects of their reality and the rich civilization and culture that's embedded in their DNA and genes. Its a show that talks to you in the universal language of love and also tells you about a dream. A love for art and a dream that includes China, India and Iran.
