1月10日，由中共重慶市委宣傳部、市政府外辦、市文化和旅游委、市商務委、沙坪壩區政府、西永綜保區管委會指導，重慶泓藝九洲國際文化藝術中心和德國帕斯敏藝術畫廊共同主辦的重慶國際現當代藝術邀請展在重慶泓美術館開展。來自歐洲二十多個國家的47名藝術家攜430件藝術作品參展，為山城市民奉上了一場藝術盛宴。這是迄今為止重慶舉辦的規模最大、國別最多的一次國際性展覽，將展出至3月31日。

展覽開幕當天，“重慶（西永）對外文化貿易基地”正式啟動，德國、英國、白俄羅斯3個國家文旅館簽約落戶。該基地是重慶市首批重要對外文化開放平臺，將以西永綜合保稅區為依托，充分借助其保稅優勢和通關便利，共享西部物流園、四川美術學院等周邊配套資源，重點打造非物質文化遺產推廣中心、國際藝術品展覽及倉儲物流中心、國際文旅合作促進中心、國際版權合作促進中心，進一步推動中外文化藝術交流，擴大重慶的國際交往朋友圈。

本次重慶國際現當代藝術邀請展主題分為現代和當代，作品總價值超過1600萬歐元，有經歷百余年的印象派油畫力作，也有別具造詣的西方當代藝術作品，作品創作時間跨度約200年。

現代主題展廳，以特展的形式呈現瑞士印象派先驅尤利亞斯·福克利（1879—1944）的作品。據他的孫子漢斯·福克利介紹，本次特展的展品約80件，包含靜物畫、肖像畫、風景畫等種類。

尤利亞斯·福克利創作于20世紀初的油畫《意大利男孩》用含蓄的色彩描繪出男孩的青澀，讓觀眾感受到藝術家對人物神態的塑造能力;其作品《比爾湖畔的拉特里根鎮》《風景》等具有典雅、寧靜的氣質，引人無限遐想。

當代主題展廳，油畫、雕塑、藝術裝置等集中呈現了歐洲各國藝術家不同類別的作品。藝術家阿斯卡納迪創作的《想象空間》，充滿了互相疊加、補充的線條，幾何圖形創造不同維度和空間的幻象，以及對于內心冥思的象征性表達;奧雷娜·布萊希區克·林澤創作于2015年的《向前一步》，用抽象的線條勾勒出正在前進的人體，畫面中的曲線和色彩韻味十足;莎莎·馬卡洛娃擅長用鮮明的色彩烘托女性自信的魅力形象，她創作于2019年的《我很喜歡和你待在一起》，在畫面前景中央塑造了一個女性的半身像，身體微微向左側轉，臉龐直面觀者，身上的黃裙和背景中的綠色形成鮮明對比。

展覽中，不乏西方藝術家對中國文化的詮釋。戈蘭·內澤維奇創作的《秦始皇帝》和《孔夫子》裝置作品，運用金屬塑造了秦始皇和孔子的形象，作品的線條具有中國畫的意蘊，但表現形式卻十分當代。

“中西方文化藝術交流碰撞由來已久，此次展覽將西方藝術引入重慶，不僅能深入促進中外文化藝術交流與進步，更能讓市民在本地欣賞到西方藝術盛況。”展覽主辦方負責人表示，希望本次展覽架起溝通東西方文化的橋梁。重慶市美術家協會秘書長魏東評價此次展覽作品藝術水準較高，觀賞性極強，對于促進重慶對外文化交流有積極的意義。

展覽期間，主辦方還組織參展藝術家體驗重慶一日游活動。十多位來自歐洲各國的藝術家探訪了以渝中區為主的重慶文旅地標，在重慶中國三峽博物館、鵝嶺公園、解放碑，尋根巴渝，鳥瞰重慶，漫步古道，品嘗美食，中西方文化的交流與碰撞，讓他們充分感受到了重慶的發展與魅力。

In the contemporary exhibition hall， oil paintings， sculptures， artistic installations， etc. are exhibited to showcase the works of European artists with different genres. Imagination Space， created by artist Askanadi， is full of overlapping and complementary lines， creating illusion of different dimensions and spaces through geometric figures and presents a symbolic expression of inner meditation.
