《我这一家子》

刘小东具有典型的东北男人情怀，故土根素性重，家庭观念深。第一次，他将家园敞开，从《金城记忆》开始。在那时，艺术家身份重新回归到故土老家中的儿子和小时伙伴记忆中。《我这一家子》深入地将情感触接到一个自我家庭单元中的丈夫和父亲的角色。这是一种故事情节的延续，而温暖增倍，艺术家已经将《金城记忆》中存有的学术和艺术探讨印迹刻意淡化没有踪迹。他，作为生活本体的个体，轻松地享受着家庭私密而自由的生活景致。随性的纸，随性的笔触，画出了他温柔的心和对家人的爱。让走进它的观者也被这种淡淡的表达留恋住。参比之前，他色彩饱满浓烈地记录这个时代“非历史”人物的作品，此刻的《我这一家子》尤为珍贵和内心宁静。

《我这一家子》来源于刘小东2012年《纸非纸》展览，艺术家通过“纸”作为媒介，完成“纸”的使用价值，升华了它的无价性。简单，沁人心扉的清新。
