Modern art fundamentally reflects the thinking, behavior, and views of its era. Our world is no longer a simple place. What modern art, whether it be two-dimensional or performance art, seeks to express is the artist's emotional response to the mixture of new and old, the confusion of values, the information explosion, and the commercial inundation of this era.
現代藝術基本上反映這個時代的思想、行為、觀念，盧天炎說，我們的世界早已不是一個單純的、窗明几淨的、雞犬相聞的年代，現代藝術無論是平面藝術，或是行動藝術、裝置藝術，所表現的自然是藝術家感應到這個時代的新舊雜陳、價值混亂、資訊爆炸、消費淹沒一切的現象。
