2009年6月20日15：30分，主題為《江湖的傳説》的王立偉個人油畫展在觀音堂畫廊街北京油畫學會開幕。王立偉，來自大西北的一位畫家，他的畫作首先帶給我們一種撲面而來的純樸氣息和別樣的生活視角，透過其作品特別是暖灰的色調與彪悍的人物，又似乎有一種中國西部的氣息，這讓我聯想到中國的一部西部片《雙旗鎮刀客》，電影中時時讓我們感受到一種恐懼感，更確切的説是大盜即將來臨的一種壓迫感，這種壓迫感通過雙旗鎮上的居民的表情傳遞給了觀眾，最終人單勢孤的少年刀客戰勝了兇悍的大盜，但實際上他的勇氣卻是來源於腿有殘疾的老爹，從那位老爹身上我們領略到了真正意義上的英雄主義。俗話説種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆，王立偉自幼深受這種英雄主義的影響，童年時代在小人書裏看到的那些英雄形象長大以後成為在他心底裏時時涌動的激情。那些代表中國傳統文化中英雄主義、俠義精神的形象，承載了王立偉兒時的記憶、少年時的希望和成年後的夢想，這些形象並不是某一位或某幾位俠士，而是久久留存于畫家心中的俠義英雄形象的一種凝聚。創作的過程同時又是對兒時生活的一種回味，有時自己也似乎變成了畫中的人物。我想他們也同樣能夠引起許多觀賞者的共鳴，作品把我們又帶回到了童年，帶到了已經逝去的久遠的英雄主義年代。
展覽時間截止至7月20日。

At 15:30, June 20, 2009, Wang Liwei’s personal oil painting exhibition titled with Legend of Jianghu will be opened in Guanyintang Wenhua St. Beijing Arts Academy and a good many personages in artistic circle will be invited to present..Wang Liwei's works, succinct in picture, is an artist who came from the northwest of China. His works bring us a smell of simplicity and alternative angle of life all of sudden. The warm gray tone and fierce figures in his work, which is also the smell of west China, reminds me of a Chinese western movie The Swordsmen in Double-flag Town. In this movie, we feel uneasy off and on. To be specified, it is oppressed feeling when the robbers are coming which impresses viewer by inhabitant’s expression. Eventually, the disadvantaged youngster swordsmen beat the robbers with the courage from the crippled father. It is the father that we appreciate the true heroism. As a saying is as you sow, so will you reap, Wang Liwei, from his childhood, was profoundly influenced by heroism. Heroes’ image in childhood picture-story books become enthusiasm constantly springing up in his heart after his grown up. Those image representing heroism, errantry spirit in Chinese traditional culture and carrying his childhood memories, boyish wishes, dreams of grown up, is not merely one or several heroes, but also a condensation of errantry hero image in the artist’s heart perpetually. The process of creation is also a recollection of his childhood life. He himself sometimes becomes a figure in the painting. I think they can also be empathized by many views, which bring us to childhood and heroism era ceased long before.The exhibition will close in July 20.
