“边缘效应”是生态学的专业术语，她意味：
在森林和草原的交界，鸟儿的种类更多；
在河口处，鱼儿和其它水生更为活跃；
边缘效应，不仅仅是自然生态系统现象，同时也是人类文明社会的现象。
森林里的树木，不断用树叶竞争边缘空间，用根茎竞争边缘土壤，
形成完美的生态系统；
边缘效应以竞争开始，以和谐共生为荣。
我们，身处异乡，不为异客。
人类文明也是从水陆交界处繁荣昌盛起来。
The Edge Effect is an ecological concept that describes how there is a greater biodiversity of life in the region where the edges two adjacent ecosystems overlap.
Such as at where the forest and grassland meet, there are more kinds of birds; At where the river and the ocean meet, there are more types of fish.
Edge Effect also happens in the human society where different cultures and type of arts overlap.
此次 “边缘效应-袁子涵及多伦多青年艺术家联盟作品联合展”由袁子涵个人作品和多位多伦多青年艺术家作品组成，还特别邀请加拿大著名画家“七人画派”（group of seven）的传人迈克尔.简森Michael Janzen ; 香侬.麦 克马纳斯（Shannon McManus）；庄翰.可克纳俄斯（John Kokkinos）；克里斯•克宁（Chris）；孙昌茵；冯玉薇；王建鹏；郑霞娟(Judy Zheng)；梅实 为学术支持。本次展览以生物学的边缘效应为题，完美地总结了此次画展风格多样，主题丰富，并且具有像“生态圈交集”的跨界合作新艺术。

The Exhibition is going to display art works including oil painting, print making, mix media, digital art, sculpture and photography. The topics varies from Chinese traditional art to Canadian aboriginal art, from oriental aesthetics to recent trending topics, enabling us to experience art from different perspectives and culture stand point, and boost culture exchanges at the same time by introducing Chinese traditional art to the Canada main stream culture. Let young Chinese artists who are away from home no longer feel themselves like strangers.

In the special unit of the exhibition, we can see the works from students of GetArt Art School, including who started to learn art from zero. With the help of GetArt, they allow art to change their world, discover and preserve the beauty in their everyday lives. Some of the works will be in the auction and all the income from the sell will be donated to Autism Dog Services (ADS) center. During the exhibition, multiple events, both online and offline will be held, to share the art works from participants. GetArt will collaborate with Spiritual Wealth Club and organize numbers of art related events in Toronto Area, in the objective of sharing knowledge and let more people experience the trend of modern art.
本次展览目的旨在推动中加青年艺术文化交流，“边缘效应”是生物学上的一个概念， 是指在多个系统产生作用的区域，由于某些因素而导致系统中的组分及行为不同于系统内部的现象。而用“边缘效应”为展览主题即是说明了每个艺术家的视角和观念像是每个小的生态系统，而多伦多青年艺术家联盟则是让这些独具一格的小生态系统碰撞，边际产生交集，从而产生新的生态多样性，实现艺术家的跨界创新。
The exhibition aimed at boosting the culture exchange between Chinese and Canadian young artists. The theme of the exhibition- Edge Effects, as a ecological concept, explaining the phenomenon where different ecosystem overlap, the biodiversity in the overlapping area increases. It sometimes generates a whole new system whose behaviors may be completely different from the original system. In the exhibition, each group or individual represents an ecosystem. Canada Chinese Young Artist Association proved a platform for those unique systems to overlap and have chemical reactions, which gave us more possibility to generate new crossover art form and increase the diversity of the art ecosystem.
我们因艺术相遇，我们因热爱相知，我们因执着同行。
We meet through art;
We learn with passion,
We pursue together.

《漂浮》2016综合材料 38×38×10cm 袁子涵
《漂浮》是系列中最全面的作品，成为可以多方向观看的架上绘画作品。 重要的是我所希望用画面记录下来我身在社会大变革与转型其中的一些感受。 我们就像乘着小舟漂浮在河中………。
《白日梦》2015 铜版画37×28cm 袁子涵
也许人们最美的梦，即是白日梦。很多时候我找不到比绘画更好的表达方法，所以将这白日梦描绘出来。。。
《A.D.1990》2015综合材料 37×28cm袁子涵 2016
《A.D.1990》是我“90后”系列其中的第一幅，以“我”作为主体开始故事。
《A.D.1938》综合材料 37×28cm 袁子涵 2016
《A.D.1990》和《A.D.1938》分别是以“我”作为主体开始故事，反映隔代人不同的心情处境和人生态度。作为90后的一代，并非是要矫情地突出我们这一代与前后有多少与众不同，在我看来也不过是大树上最普通不过的一片叶子。然而，重要的是我所希望用绘画记录下来我身在社会大变革与转型其中的一些感受。我利用平时的银行票据，购物收据，超市小票作为其中的一种载体。有时我们很自然地会忘记很小的事物，也会忽视看似很小的选择，就像面对惊讶的事物我们表现出诧异，但是内心却并不了解其所以然。
《ADRIFT》2015 丝网版画37.5×28cm－袁子涵
我们就像乘着小舟漂浮在河中，其实很多时候我们特别容易忘记自己是在一条河里而不是在一条船上。我想大家都在河中或是船上找到了一种所谓的方向，就这样，大家一起汇入海洋。
