清华大学美术学院博导、基督徒艺术家岛子的诗书画作品展将于4月3日下午3点在上海开幕，本次诗书画作品展的主题为《白昼将近》。
著名画家、文艺评论家、作家陈丹青将为本次诗书画作品展做艺术评论。
岛子本名王敏，是著名基督徒艺术家，他还是清华大学美术学院教授，著名诗人、艺术批评家。获文学学士、文艺学硕士学位，他从事美术学教学、视觉艺术研究、艺术批评及诗歌写作，并策划艺术展览。曾任西安市文联《长安》文艺月刊副主编，四川美术学院教授、美术学系主任，重庆市文艺评论家协会副主席。
2014年，岛子水墨作品《上帝与黄金》获德国第20届米苏尔社会发展基金艺术创作奖。《上帝与黄金》，以基督精神观照和反思消费社会的肉身物欲。作品被印刷和制作成三千多件巨幅幕布，于五旬大斋期悬挂于德语国家及欧洲三千多个教堂的祭坛，用以祷思冥想。
岛子曾谈到他近年来研究的内容是关于基督教艺术的促进化，就是跟我们的现实、经验、历史的关联（Connect），他认为只有这样人们才能够更能从基督教艺术中感受到一种现实性、真实性。
