内容提要
序
2010年11月，我到上海出差。一天晚饭后，和几位老友漫步新天地，暮秋的上海，仍有几分暖意，气候宜人，中西合璧的建筑包裹着中式与海派内容的新天地，人群熙攘，热闹非常。偶然间我们发现一处名为“帝豪尼”的画廊，想不到繁华的街头，竟有如此静谧之处！信步走入，便被一幅幅精美的静物油画所深深吸引。
油画，是立体、高雅、严肃的造型艺术。这里的每一幅静物油画，都是那样独具匠心，光线、色彩与逼真的画面，淋漓尽致地刻画了物象内在的情感与唯美，无不沁人心脾。饱经沧桑的《石库门》、倾诉人生的《小提琴》、欢快跳跃的《乐谱》、永不凋零的《花束》……构图稳重，技法纯熟，刻画细腻，栩栩如生地再现了或忧伤、或凄美、或典雅的生活景象。站在每一幅生动、多变、和谐统一的画作之前，白日工作的辛劳已然忘却，门外的喧嚣也荡然无存，留下的只有我和画作间的心灵沟通与情感交流。
经画廊主人的介绍，方知这些画作出自年仅38岁的画家宋宇之手。齐白石先生曾说过：“外师造化，中得心源。”在一些人热衷于追逐名利、心态浮躁的今天，作为一位年轻的画家，能以对艺术严肃认真的态度，刻苦学习，潜心研究，打下深厚的绘画功底，并能用心体验生活、观察事物，精心创作，实在难能可贵！

I came to Shanghai on business in November 2010.One night after supper I was having a stroll at Xintiandi together with some old friends of mine. Though it was late autumn in the city, the weather was quite warm and comfortable. There was a hubbub at Xintiandi, a place featured with a combination of Chinese and western architectures embracing the content of Chinese characteristics and subculture of the city. While wandering, we by chance caught sight of a gallery named THIHANY. Never did we think that there was such a tranquil spot amidst a scene of bustling activity in Xintiandi. As we dropped in we were deeply entranced by all exquisite still life oil paintings in the gallery.
Oil paintings are elegant and serious art with three-dimensional effect. All the still-life paintings exhibited here are of unique workmanship and featured with light and colors so vivid that the inner beauty and feelings in them are expressed to a fullest extent and are impressive to eye. The weather beaten ‘Shikumen building’, the life-story telling ‘Violin’, the vibrant and vivacious ‘Music Score’ the never withered ‘bunch of flowers’,and so on, all of which are steadily composed, skillfully painted and finely depicted, give a vivid representation of facets of life of distress or affection or elegance. Standing in front of those vivid, varied and harmonious works one would forget all fatigue of the day and the hustle and bustle outside, and what remained seemed to be the spiritual communications between those paintings and me.
As introduced by gallery owner I learned that all those oil paintings are the works made by 38 year old painter SONG Yu. QI Baishi, the master painter once said, ‘work of art comes from real beauty but is a recast with the subjective feelings of the creator? Different from those who are indulged in running after fames and gains nowadays, SONG Yu has taken a serious and earnest attitude towards art. By working and studying hard he has laid a solid foundation in painting, meanwhile he is diligently experiencing life, carefully observing things around and is wholeheartedly devoted to his art creation. Such a young painter is estimable.
