Wei Jingsheng Attends Artist Shan Shan Wei-Blank’s
Exhibition, Two Worlds – China and Germany ("Zwei Welten - China und
Deutschland"), in Hamburg, Germany
[The Epoch Times June 10 news, by reporter Liu Min
in Hamburg, Germany] On June 5 the town of Wedel, which is just next to
the wealthy district of Blankenese on the north bank of Elbe River, held its
second Cultural Festival. An opening ceremony for the art exhibition by
Shan Shan Wei-Blank, a Chinese artist in Germany, was held in the city hall of
Wedel at 6pm as a main program within the festival.
The chair for the Cultural Forum of Wedel Ms.
Dohmen, the official in charge of Wedel’s Cultural Bureau Mr. Wassman
(Waßman), the head of Hamburg’s AIDA (Internationale Vereinigung zur
Verteidigung verfolgter Künstler überall auf der Welt/Association
internationale de défense des artistes de la répression dans le monde) Mr.
Schildt, the head of Greenpeace, and the elder brother of Shan Shan WEI-BLANK,
the well-known human rights activist WEI Jingsheng, spoke at the opening
ceremony.
Ms. Dohmen said that when she learned that the
Wedel Cultural Festival meant to find an artist for the art exhibition in the
city hall, she immediately thought of Shan Shan Wei-Blank. Between 1991
and 1997, Wei-Blank had her own art gallery in Blankenese. Ms. Dohmen
remembered that Wei-Blank sold a lot of her paintings, which was not easy.
“When I showed her paintings to the other
organizers, everyone agreed that she was the most suitable person. Her
paintings have their own characteristics, both modern and classic. Her
watercolors and oil paintings have strong characteristics of Chinese ink
paintings. She does well in landscaping paintings with good decorative
effects, yet does not try to avoid political topics. She is a very good
annotation for the main theme of this cultural festival: “nature, homeland,
culture, and the people.”
Wei Jingsheng told the audience about his sister
in his speech. In 1997, in an effort to rescue WEI Jingsheng, Shan Shan
WEI-BLANK had to close her successful gallery as she ran all over the world
while holding her infant son. Later, as the elder brother got his
freedom, she lost her own opportunity to have her own gallery.
Shan Shan Wei-Blank liked to paint since her
childhood. She was the last disciple of the well-known artist Huang
Zhou. After the Cultural Revolution, she excelled to be admitted into
Beijing’s “Central Academy of Arts and Crafts” when thousands students would
compete for one admission.
Wei Jingsheng said: “Now, finally, she has this
opportunity to hold her own art exhibition. I am happy for her. In
particular, I really like her several paintings of political topics. I
think artists should reflect the reality of the society, especially an
autocratic society like China. When your compatriots are suffering, how
could you pretend not seeing it if you have a conscience?”
The portrait of Wei Jingsheng’s self defense in
court in 1979 by Shan Shan Wei-Blank received an extreme response from the
audience. In particular people were shocked to learn that Wei Jingsheng
received a sentence of more than one decade in jail for asking for “the fifth
modernization” – democracy.
The art exhibition was held by the Wedel cultural
groups and businesses. More than 100 people, including the mayor of
Wedel, various cultural groups, and people from all walks of life attended the
opening ceremony. Germany’s national television ARD (Arbeitsgemeinschaft
der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland –
"Consortium of public-law broadcasting institutions of the Federal
Republic of Germany") interviewed Shan Shan WEI-BLANK and WEI Jingsheng
before the opening ceremony.
Shan Shan Wei-Blank’s art will be exhibited from
June 5 to July 9. Two landscaping paintings were already marked with
“sold” signs at the opening ceremony.

旅德画家魏珊珊“故乡和新家园 —— 两个世界的印象”画展开幕 魏京生出席
【大纪元6月10日讯】（大纪元记者刘明德国汉堡报导）6月5日，易北河北岸紧临汉堡富人区布朗肯内斯（Blanknese）的小城威德市（Wedel）举办第二届文化节。作为文化节主打节目之一，旅德华人画家魏珊珊画展当日晚6点于市政厅开幕。
威德市“文化研讨会”主席多曼女士，市文化局负责人，“艺术家声援艺术家”（AIDA）汉堡负责人施特先生，绿色和平组织负责人以及魏珊珊的哥哥--著名人权活动家魏京生在开幕式上发言。
多曼女士说，当听说威德文化节想找一个画家在市政厅办画展，马上就想到了魏珊珊，1991到1997年间，她在Blanknese有一个画室。多曼说，当时她印象最深的就是魏珊珊的画卖得很好。这是非常不容易的。
“当我把她的画拿给其他主办者看后，大家一致认为，她是最适合的人选。她的画风格独特，既现代又文雅古典，她的水彩画和油画具有中国国画特色，既有装饰效果很好的风景画，也不回避政治题材，对文化节主题‘自然、家乡、文化和人’是很好的诠释。”
魏京生在发言中介绍，魏珊珊在97年为了营救哥哥，不得不把当时经营很好的画室关闭，抱着只有几个月大的儿子在全世界各地奔波。后来哥哥被救了出来，她却失去了再办个人画室的机会。
魏珊珊自幼喜欢画画，曾是著名画家黄胄的关门弟子。文革后考上北京中央工艺美院，当时全国的录取率是几千分之一。
魏京生说：“现在她终于又有了办画展的机会，我为她感到高兴。我很喜欢她的几张政治题材的画，我认为画家应该反映社会现实，特别是像中国那样一个独裁的社会。你的同胞在受苦受难，作为有良心的艺术家怎么能视而不见呢?”
魏珊珊为哥哥魏京生1979年在法庭做自我辩护所画的肖像引起观众极大反响。特别是当人们听到魏京生当时只是提出要实现五个现代化，也就是民主现代化就坐了十几年牢时，全都震惊。
画展由威德市文化团体和几家大企业联合主办。威德市长，各文化团体及汉堡和威德各界人士约100多人参加了开幕式。德国国家电视一台在开幕式前采访了魏珊珊和魏京生。
魏珊珊画展从6月5号到7月9号展出，开幕式上有两幅风景画被标上已出售标志。
