用视觉艺术感悟中国的古老文化之道
用视觉艺术感悟人类如诗如仙的繁衍生息之道
用视觉艺术感悟华夏民族文明的精粹——道教之道

中国的当代美术作品，应是具有崇高的精神内涵，有着深厚民族文化积淀的产物。中国的悠久文化的主脉，来源于中国的道教文化。这是崇仰黄老之道，以神仙家的术说及道家学说为中心，融合传统宗教习俗以告谕、教化世人，追求宇宙和谐、国家太平及相信人们修道积德定能安乐幸福、长生久视的宗教。

鲁迅先生1918年8月20日《致许寿裳》的信中说:“中国的根柢全在道教，此说近颇广行。以此读史，有多种问题可以迎刃而解。”这句话卓识而深刻，是对道教文化在中国历史中的作用予以了高度肯定。西方的科学家、哲学家、艺术家都对中国的道教文化给予了高度评价。英国科学家李约翰说：“道家又能将自己的理论付之实行。所以东方的化学、植物学、动物学和药物学都渊于道家。中国如果没有道家，就像大树没有根一样。”美国著名导演卡普拉说：“在伟大的诸传统中，据我看，道家提供了最深刻并且是最完美的生态智慧。”道教文化被中国的历代帝王和墨客所推崇，为民间所崇敬。宋太宗曾在《圣学》中说：“伯阳五千言，读之甚有益，治身治国，并在其中。”在当下构建和谐社会主义精神文明建设具有重要意义，原中国共产党总书记江泽民在视察泉州的讲话中说：“要多宣传老子的辨证唯物主义思想，要把民族的传统文化精粹整理好、宣传好，使‘三胞’和外国朋友了解中国的历史和传统文化的魅力。”

道教文化几千年来流传了许多唯美、可颂的典故和美如仙境的名胜古迹。为传播中国的文化精粹，让全世界人民了解中国，了解中国的文化。现为中国艺术家协会理事、中国美术家协会湖北分会会员的陈军琪先生，潜心收集了200百多个中国道教文化典故，他用现代人的人文观念，采用西方近百年流传于中国的油画工具，用视觉艺术解读中国的道教文化，为之开启了艰难而漫长的《悟道之旅》。

陈军琪先生八岁随父曾定居在美如仙境的道教文化圣地——武当山脚下，曾多次到此写生，也曾到中国的祖先炎帝神农氏尝百草、八百里奇山怪岭的神农架体验生活，从中感受中国的道教文化精神。中国的道教文化深深地影响着他的美术创作，在他以往的人物画和诗情画意的风景画里，无不透露出中华民族文化道教思想的感应。陈军琪先生的书画作品曾多次在全国展览中获奖，其作品也曾多次在国内外一级刊物发表。 2008年中国文化部文化艺术人才中心，鉴于陈军琪先生在艺术创作所取得的卓越成就，将他的作品5幅选入“影响中国的100位艺术大家”经典作品卷中。

《悟道之旅》油画长卷，采用超现实主义与浪漫的写实表现手法相融合，讲诉中国道教文化的典故。作者运用了中国式的散点透视法和西方式的焦点透视法相结合，画面划破时空，较为突出地表现了每单元的主体，使得风景与人物有机地穿插，构成天、地、人合一的表现形式。作者充满激情，用他饱含丰富色彩的画笔，将油画的表现力——光与色的变化与中国传统写意用笔的有机结合，造型简洁而生动地将传说中的神话赋予当代文人新特性，从新层次地解读了中国道教文化的起源和发展。《悟道之旅》首创用油画长卷分单元的形式，表现中国道教文化人物的系列作品。作品分为三个递进层次，第一层；《悟道之旅》为整个系列的主脉，由N个独立单元构成，贯穿于作品的灵魂。第二层；以每单元为中心，每个单元由三幅画组成，构成这个单元为主题的独立文化典故。第三层；在每个单元的三幅画中，每幅画又可分离为完整内容的独幅画，在这完整的独幅画中表述这个单元的其中内容之一。 《悟道之旅》通过从整体到局部再由局部到整体，构成气贯长虹、要素统一、互相关联、时代完整的长卷。在作品中，让人们感悟到中国道教文化的气韵之美。
