展览介绍
尼古拉斯·埃雷拉是“吉莉安·赛克勒女爵士国际艺术家展览项目”2017年推介的艺术家，本次展览以“迷人的自然：森林砍伐与环境”为主题，由12幅大型画作和61幅小型绘画组成，展期共计三个月。
尼古拉斯·埃雷拉的绘画灵感来源于令人惊奇的亚马逊森林，以及现代化与社会发展所导致的令人惋惜而又可以预见的后果。亚马逊森林孕育和保护了成千上万种动物、鸟类和昆虫，然而砍伐森林破坏了一切，原生树木每年减少上千英亩，极大地影响了环境，改变了维持生命的气候和生态系统。
尼古拉斯回忆道，在他家乡的安第斯森林中，飞翔着充满活力的鸟儿，它们融入林间，在叶梢复苏。在他的画中，森林祈求怜悯、反对砍伐，美丽非凡的树木们模仿着为大自然的魔力所倾倒的人类和其它梦幻般的生物。
因此艺术家在本次展览中，始终强调和谐共处、强调爱，突出保护环境的重要性，希望人类意识到所有生物都存在于同一个空间并相互依赖。展览中的艺术作品都是为了反思、为了冥想、为了表达对生命的尊重而创作。

艺术家介绍
艺术家尼古拉斯·埃雷拉
尼古拉斯·埃雷拉作为目前拉丁美洲最著名的艺术家之一，在他的家乡厄瓜多尔曾荣获许多重要奖项，其中包括安巴托的第一届“路易斯·A·马丁内斯全国印刷奖”以及基多的第一届“沙龙马里亚诺·阿奎莱拉全国印刷奖”。他在厄瓜多尔的伊瓦拉市建立了个人博物馆以收藏并展示自己的绘画、雕塑以及其他艺术家的作品。除了在厄瓜多尔本国的展览，埃雷拉的艺术创作还曾赴美国、德国、法国、西班牙、瑞士、以色列、哥伦比亚、巴拿马、智利、秘鲁和墨西哥等国展出。
本次展出的12幅大型油画作品是埃雷拉从他的61幅绘画作品中选出，在北大赛克勒博物馆历时一个月不停歇地创作而成。艺术家通过表现元素组合和明亮色彩的个人风格来强调保护森林的重要性；画面题材包含树木、鸟类和动物，但这里的树木变成了人类的形象，树枝变成了武器，树叶变成了鸟、动物或昆虫。这些作品充满了魔力，能激发观众对环境的想象。

Dame Jillian Sackler International Artists Exhibition Program——Nicolas Herrera “Enchanted Nature Deforestation and the Environment”
Location：Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art And Archaeology at Peking University
Date: September 29 — December 29, 2017
Opening Hours: 9:00 — 17:00 (Daily)
Ticket: Free
Introduction to the Exhibition
The exhibition consists of a set of 12 paintings and more than 61 drawings. It will be on display for three months at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at Peking University.
The drawings and paintings derive from the amazing Amazon forest and the lamentable yet predictable consequences of modernity and progress. Thousands of acres of native trees are cut yearly, and this greatly affects the environment as it depletes the supply of oxygen for the world. A forest gives birth and protection to thousands of species of animals, birds and insects and deforestation destroys everything, which changes climate and ecosystems that sustain life.
As Nicolas Herrera said, in his hometown, Andean, forests populated with birds without pause or time that merge with the trees and sprout again from among the leaves; forests that cry for mercy saying no to deforestation, trees with singular beauty simulating people or fantastic beings dazzled by their wild magic. Works that exalt the importance of preserving the environment, living in harmony, with love, knowing that we are beings who inhabit the same space and depend on one another. Works created for reflection, meditation and respect for life.
“Prayer”
Aritist：Nicolas Herrera
Nicolas Herrera in his native Ecuador received numerous awards, including the prestigious Luis A. Martínez’ First National Printing Prize, Ambato and First National Printing Prize from Salón Mariano Aguilera, Quito, among others. By selling one painting at a time, he built his own museum in Ibarra to house and exhibit his paintings and sculptures and to exhibit works by other artists. Apart from numerous exhibitions within Ecuador, he has exhibited widely, including in the United States of America, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, Israel, Colombia, Panamá, Chile, Perú and Mexico.
From 61 drawings, 12 will be selected and painted on-site. Herrera arrived with pencil and brush in hand to work non-stop for one month. His style, composed with elements and bright color palette has dramatized the importance of preservation and conservation. These works include trees, birds and animals, but here trees become human figures, branches become arms, leaves become birds, animals or insects; it is all magical, composed to excite the viewer’s imagination about the environment.
