夏星（1958—）北京人。1988年毕业于中央美术学院靳尚谊工作室，现为职业画家。1991年结业于法国写实主义画家克劳德·依维尔油画材料技法研究班。曾参加“国际青年美展”、“中国油画精品展”等海内外大型展览。作品《鸽子》获国际青年美展铜奖。2005年加入中国写实画派。 　　在当今的写实画中，最不可去掉和折省的语汇基础，便是始于西方近代科学的由镜头所记录和表达出来的带着当代极强的务实精神的客观语言。现代性疏远了人文精神，务实的活法又使人毫无幻想。这是我对写实画中基础的客观语言从崇尚到远离的真正的理由。我想起去年的一位画家前辈，在其妻有孕时家厅正壁上匾画一“美人像”，曰，妻平日养眼，娠时必得媚丽千金。照我看，这法子才是写实画中之正法。重视编撰，轻视写生，强调幻想的感觉，去掉明暗远离镜头，宣扬“人文”的态度。这才是中国的新的写实主义的方法。 ^_^
