前言 Foreword
沈敬东出生于南京，是中国当代杰出的艺术家，通过新的形式和富有表现力的色彩，他创造出小王子、士兵、动物、新闻联播等系列作品，在世界各地广受赞誉。
沈敬东受父亲的影响，从小就喜欢画画，初中毕业后考入陶行知先生创办的南京晓庄师范，在该校美术班正规学习艺术三年，毕业后当了三年的小学美术教师，很早接触了儿童画和儿童教育，这对他今后的艺术创作有一定的影响。后考入刘海粟先生创办的南京艺术学院，学习版画，版画的学习使他对艺术的概括能力和表现手法有了进一步提高。毕业后，他在著名的南京军区前线文工团从事舞台美术工作十八年，特殊的当兵经历和舞台美术的多种手段运用，为他的艺术提供了丰富的养料和经验。
沈敬东的作品多以小眼睛卡通化肖像呈现。仔细看来，这些形象都和沈敬东有些神似。而画面中的小眼睛已然成为沈敬东的经典性的语言符号。如今沈敬东的展览已走遍国内外，他带着作品中小眼睛看遍大世界。对他来讲，创作是要在题材上、形式上不断有新的变化和新的内容，让自己绘画越来越丰富、越来越有意思、越来越自由，越来越像自己。他希望通过个人的视角来看待这个社会，用一种幽默的旁观者的姿态来看待现实生活。他的艺术不仅为这个时代抹上了一笔光彩夺目的颜色，更重要的是，还为中国当代艺术拓展了一种乐观向上的精神维度。
Shen Jingdong is an outstanding contemporary artist from Nanjing, Jiangsu China. Through new forms and expressive colors,he created a series of works titled Little Prince, Soldier, Animal and News Broadcast, which have been widely praised around the world.
He enjoyed painting when he was young and was strongly influenced by his father. After graduating from junior high school,he enrolled in Nanjing Xiaozhuang Normal University, which was created by Mr Tao Xingzhi, and attended art classes at the school for three years. He worked as an elementary art teacher for three years after his graduation. His contact with children and children's education influenced his future artistic creations.he was then admitted to Nanjing Art Institute which was founded by Mr. Liu Haisu. His study of engraving has further improved his ability to summarize art and techniques of expression. After he graduated, he engaged in stage art for 18 years in the famous Front-line Art Troupe of the Nanjing Military Area Command. The variety of soldiers' experiences and stage art applications provided a rich background for his art experience.
Most of his works are presented as cartoon portraits with small eyes. If you look carefully, you will see that these images have a spiritual likeness to him. However, the small eyes in the paintings have become a classic symbolic language of himself.
Nowadays, he holds art exhibitions all over the world and takes these works with small eyes to look at the big world. For him, creativity is to constantly have new changes and new content in subject and form, to make his painting more and more plentiful, interesting and free, much like himself. As a humorous observer,he wants to portray society and real life through his own personal perspective.His art not only adds a brilliant color to this era, but more importantly extends an optimistic spiritual dimension to Chinese contemporary art.
