Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University

The School of Art at RMIT University introduced the Master of Fine Art degree to students in 1993. It has proved to be a popular

and highly respected program within Australia and also as an off-shore programme in countries such as Singapore, Papua New

Guinea, Indonesia and New Zealand where it has helped establish

artists to further extend their practice and given many emerging artists a pathway and perspective in which to establish their work

in the arts community. With the exciting and eagerly awaited introduction of the MFA program to Hong Kong, as an extension of the highly respected

and well established collaborative partnership of Hong Kong Art School and the RMIT University School of Art in 2004, this

exhibition marks a significant milestone. It is a milestone for which both institutions have good reason to feel proud as it celebrates the graduation of the first cohort of candidates from the MFA program. Over 2 years of rigorous study these MFA candidates have

demonstrated themselves to be artists of commitment and

passion, individuals who have embraced a program that has challenged them to achieve the greatest possible expression of

who they are and has given them the courage to strive for their ultimate goals. I have every confidence that individually and collectively they will continue to make a significant contribution to

the cultural development of Hong Kong and also within an international context. It is with a sense of pride and great pleasure that I congratulate all of them on their fine personal achievements and wish them a

successful and exciting future.

It has been immensely satisfying to witness the artistic development of each of the graduates represented in this

catalogue. They have worked with a tireless commitment and

enthusiasm to meet the challenges posed by post graduate study

within the Master of Fine Art program and the work they have produced is an eloquent testament to their spirit of exploration

and quest to both refine and develop, uniquely personal explorations of both seen and imagined worlds.

It has been a great pleasure and privilege to have worked with them in both the personal intimacy of their individual studios and

collectively, as a group. They have all shown an immense generosity of spirit in the regular interaction between staff and students, providing a mutually supportive foundation for critical debate and analysis of differing points of view and shifting

perspectives. Equally rewarding, is the tangible evidence this catalogue provides

of the ongoing development of the strong and fruitful collaborative partnership between Hong Kong Art School and the School of Art,

RMIT University, nurtured by the dedication and commitment of

academic and administrative staff from both institutions. However, in the final analysis, the work presented in this catalogue belongs entirely to the graduates and it is they who are

to be principally congratulated. I would like to commend them on

their achievements and wish them every success in the future.

As the Chairman of the Hong Kong Arts Centre, I would like to congratulate the 23 students on their graduation, and to express

my appreciation to the teaching staff of both our Hong Kong Art School and RMIT University, whose consorted efforts in the past two years has made this programme a successful one.

In the pursuit of an artistic profession, the development of

technical virtuosity, aesthetic sensibility, as well as a broader perspective of culture are crucial elements. This Master programme co-presented by HKAS and RMIT University, has

gathered 23 students from various professions such as designers,

artists, art teachers, business men, and other from different walks

of life. With their passion in arts, they joined the programme and Hong Kong Art School has provided them the nurturing ground to

complete their journey, I congratulate them and wish them all the

best in their future artistic career. Being an art lover myself, I have been participating in art creation

so that I truly understand the struggle the artists have to face during the process, and the satisfaction brought to them by going through it. I wholeheartedly wish this graduation show a great

success, and wish this programme, as a cradle of local art talents,

will be nurturing more talented artists as well as enriching the local cultural life in the years ahead.

self-exploration during the past two years. After 6 years of active development, HKAS now boasts one of

programmes in Hong Kong. For the past four years, about 230 new and practicing artists have graduated from the School’s

award-bearing programmes each year, making HKAS a major

source of trained creative talents for Hong Kong. The introduction of the MFA programme offering art education at a higher

academic level is yet another important milestone for HKAS. Today we witness the graduation of the first cohort of 23 graduates. Despite their varied background, they share the same

passion for art and the belief in engaging the general public through their artistic expressions, whichever form these may take.

The first MFA programme has now been successfully completed, but the journey of artistic exploration never ends. I sincerely congratulate

our

We all grow up differently, and we have our own unique memories. We all have people that have played important roles in our lives, events, encounters or experiences that result in good (or bad) memories. Even minor things that happened when we were young and seemed insignificant at the time can occupy a tiny part of our brain and resurface as a memory from time to time.

As we grow older we seem to become too busy in life, failing to find the time to stop and look back, reminisce about the years gone by. Memories seem to get washed away little by little, and fear sets in that one day they will be gone forever. This project provided a valuable opportunity for me and for my friends to take the time to pause at an interval in our lives, to remember one more time. I had the opportunity to talk to 23 people, most of whom I have known for a long time. Others are “new” friends. Through the interviews they all shared with me their “untold” stories, many that I assume very few people know about, and I saw through this process of sharing how they each looked when they were young children. An interesting realization I came to is that we are rarely asked to look at other people’s old photographs, even by close friends. When the participants showed me their baby photos I was amazed at how they looked so alike or unlike to how they look now, and I felt honored to be allowed a glimpse into such precious territory.

Different participants reacted differently to the questions in the interview, some of them were brave enough to unfold their past and reveal it to me. It was never my intention to disclose the secrets of the participants and the most valuable aspect of the process was the honesty and trust afforded to me by the participants. During the process, someone asked me if it was too much of a burden for me to listen to all the personal stories and information of the participants. The reality is that I didn’t feel any pressure to become personally responsible for the experiences of my participants but the funny thing is that I simply couldn’t help myself but take part in the conversation as a friend more than an interviewer. After completing my 23 interviews I felt closer to my friends with the better understanding I had gained of each one. Life is simple, if you can look at it in a simple way. Everyone, including you and me, is the beloved son or daughter of two parents.

I am so happy to have had the opportunity to create, compile and complete this project. To me it is a work of art, the art of friendship and humanity. I don't know how many people will come and see this project and out of those who do, how many will be moved by it but I hope that at a minimum this process has helped my friends in their journey through the future.

Firstly, I wanted to conduct a long term project. The plan was to observe the changing shape of my body over a period of time. The methodology employed was to document my body form through casting and copying processes and to record the shape of my body at certain stages and then to exhibit the different shapes of my body to reflect how my appearance changed over time. When I looked at the first plaster copy of my head, I felt amazed and curious because I had never seen myself in the third-dimension before. The copy was so familiar to me and the impact was very different from seeing an image of myself in a photograph or in a mirror. It had weight and occupied space. I could also touch, feel and observe the shape as a three-dimensional form. Of course I am aware that it is not <4meM but it made me question what it is to be "me" and how do I appear as “meÿÿÿ

I began my life in this world without knowing the reason over thirty years ago. My life network was developed in the process of meeting people, learning and living in my universal space. My life journey is constructed by my memories and the people around me. Simultaneously, I think the plaster copy should have its own life journey when it started to occupy a living space and left memories in someone’s mind. The cast copy from my body was created by me and it looked like me. People could recognize me from before. Others can learn that it is me even if we had never met before. So it can be described as part of “me” but as a stand alone object. The material ingredients became the identity and character of the copy. My work is to record a part of my life journey as well as the life journey of my copies.

I used foam to reproduce my body parts and then I put them into concentrated copper sulfate solution to crystallize. The foam will become totally covered by crystals from the chemical reaction and turn the foam blue. I cannot control the chemical process and the crystallized form is unpredictable. The foam is soft, flexible and elastic which makes it different from traditional casting materials, e.g. metal, steel and copper. The traditional materials are usually more durable and can last for a life time. In fact, all materials will be compromised structurally over a period of time and using foam to make sculpture as an alternative material will have a limited life span by comparison to traditional materials.

026 I 027


If using traditional materials to make sculpture is looking for a longer life time, then using foam to make sculpture is for a lesser time frame. In chemical practice, copper sulfate is used to reduce the decaying time frame. The foam may become more stable when covered by copper sulphate. The crystal of copper sulfate, however is easy to break and may change shape when it interacts with particles in the air. So I also have to accept the unstableness of copper sulfate when using it for my crystallized body sculpture.

Time and changes deliver us into unknown space in the future.

結晶身軀

原先 ,這只 是_ 個對自 己外表 作長時 間觀察 的計劃 ,方法 是倒模 和複製 自己 的身體 把 自己某 一時刻 的外貌 保存紀 錄下來 。當我 把不同 時期自 己外貌的複製 品並列 展示時 ,我看到自 己的外 形隨著 時間而 轉變。 1

當第 一個自 己頭部 的石裔 複製品 出現後 ,看 著這個 「我」 時 ,心裡 泛起 了一種 莫名的 新鮮和 陌生感 ,可能 是我以 前從沒 有這樣 看過立 體的 「我」 。有別 於平面 的紀錄 ,複製 品本身 是佔有 三度空 間的物 件 並擁 有重量 ,和 我亦十 分相似 。以 往只有 透過相 片或鏡 子平面 地 看自己 ,如今 終於可 以立體 地觀察 ,更可 以觸摸 。它 雖然 外表和 我十分 相像, 但它並 不是我 。那麼 「我」 是 甚麼? 「我」 又如何 |

|

形成?

We cannot catch and stop the time. We can only realize the existence of time through changes around us.

三十 多年前 ,我 被?進這世界 ,無故 地開始 存在, 經歷著 時間的 流動, 我和周 遭的人 、物 和空間 構成無 數的關 係網絡 ,而 這關係 網絡就 分別紀 錄在自 己和他 人的記 憶中。 「我」 就 是由那 些自己 的回憶 和他人 的敘述 中建 立出來,成為 「我」 自己 生命的 歷程。而那個 複製的 我是被 我帶進 這世界 ,佔據 著空間 和經歷 著時間 •它 理應有 自己的 旅程。 自我身 體的複 製品, 由我創 造出來 •並 擁有我 的外表 。認 識我的 人知道 它是 從我的 身體模塑出來 ,不 認識我 的人可 以觀察 這複製 品而得 知我的 外貌 •任何 人可以透過它 回憶起 我或是 認識我 所 以它是 「我」 的一部 份 。另一 方面, 複製品 本身是 一件獨 立存在 的物件 它有 自己的 變化歷 程 ,而 用甚麼 物料模塑出來 ,便成 了這複 製品的 個特徵 ,亦是 它的身 份和 個性。 |

|

我的作 品就是 _次 對這既 是我的 生成和 變化的 紀錄。

部份; 也 是一件 獨立自 存的複 製品的

我先用發泡乳膠把我 的身體部份模 塑出來 然後 將它放在濃縮的藍礬 (硫 酸銅) 溶 液內任由它自然結晶 ,直至 藍礬的結晶覆蓋著整 個表面,把 自己 的外表隱藏在藍色 的結晶 底下。 |

柔 我選擇 用發泡 乳膠先 把我的 身體部 份模塑 •是因 為乳膠 的個性 軟 、富 有彈性 和容易 變形。傳統鑲 模人像 ,通常 會採用 一些堅 硬的物 料 例如銅 、鐵 等金屬 ,期 望塑像 可以經 歷外在 環境的 變化而 不變, 以 垂長久 之紀念 。用 金屬鑲 成的人 像可能 比起真 人存在 得長久 一些, 但 它是否 永久不 變呢? 事實上 ,任何 物料也 會腐朽 和破損 ,只 是時間 的長短 罷了。 1

若果用 堅固的 金屬鑲像是喜 歡它變 化得慢 ,那 麼用 發泡乳 膠就是 喜歡它 變化 得快。 工 業上藍 礬可作為防腐 劑使用 ,從象 徵的層 面來? ,被藍 礬結晶 遮蓋著 的乳膠 塑像應 會變化 得慢些 ,但藍礬 的結晶 本身是很易碎 和不穩 定的, 所以 我的結 晶身體 跟本不能長期 展示而 不破損 我 必須要 接受它 的不確 定性。 |

捨傳 統的耐 久物料 而用易 變的發 泡乳膠 ,借 用藍礬 防腐保 存的象 徵意義 但同 時要接 受它脆 弱的物 理狀態 ,種種 不確定 的變化 因 時間的 流轉帶 著 我們進 入無盡 未知的 空間。

Existence is built up by memory. Man tries to capture his existence through recording his experience. This is translated into activities like writing, painting, sculpting and taking photographs. On a communal level, memorials are set up for collective memory. Through these activities, mankind makes an unceasing attempt to gather and store up experience. Recollection, the process of retrieving memory, literally refers to the re-collection of 'gathered material’.

Yet, partialness is a standing feature of memory. Forgetting is an inbuilt function of memory. Many a time, oblivion becomes a motivating force for remembrance. Indeed, if there is no forgetting, there is no need for remembrance as such. In the process of recollection, there are images, words and so on to focus on, followed often by doubts about materials that have not come to the foremost attention, and those that have. As a result, there is often a tension between attention and distraction, which is not often systematic in its presentation. With the advance of modern technology, we congratulate our increased capacity to capture and retain our experience. Yet as long as we, the human beings, remain the subject to process the captured materials, the memory is never complete. That is, we are destined to be haunted by, or blessed with, the tension of remembrance and oblivion. When memory is shared, oblivion is also shared, albeit not always on the same note. The reading of another person’s memory (or oblivion) would also invite the exploration of one’s own memory and /or oblivion.

記起,記不起

忘了, 忘不了

存在可 ?是由記憶構 成的。人類透 過書寫 ,繪畫 ,雕塑 和攝影 ,把 經驗 記錄起 來去確 認自己 的存在 。在 群體 的層面 ,集體 回憶也 透過紀 念碑來 得 到確認。回憶 ,從英 文的字 義來? 就是重新收集 存好的 東西。 I

然而 •記憶 從來就 不是完 整的。有記憶 ,就 有遺忘 。很 多時候 遺忘 甚至成 了記憶 的動力 。試 想想 如果 沒有遺 忘這現 象的話 ,又 何需記 億呢? 在 記憶的 過程中 ,我 們會把 焦點放 在影像 文字等 等之上 卻 往 往會記 掛未有 在記憶中出現 的東西 ,也 同時懷 疑所記 得的東 西是否 正確 。結果 形成了 注意和 分心之 間的一 股張力 ,而 這股 張力往 往沒有 一定 的表現 模式。 I

科 技進步 ,令人 類對自 己記錄 經驗的 能力信 心大增。可是 只要 是由人 去 主宰經 驗的記 錄的話,遺忘 還是免 不了的 。不 管是 祝福還 是咒詛 ,這 股 記憶和 遺忘之 間的張 力還是 會緊隨 左右。 I

分 享記憶 的同時 ,也分 享遺忘 ,雖然 牽涉的 內容不 儘相同 。當 我們? 讀別人 的記億 (或 遺忘) 的時候 ,亦 會引 發自己 去探索 個人的 記憶及 /

2005

I like to explore possible methods of rendering Modern Chinese Ink Painting based on my personal conceptual target to indicate that the root of the tree represent the origin of life, It plays the role of a hidden potential of fertility, a rising tide and also a burning volcano about to light up the sky, I no doubt mean these roots as a metaphor for the human race and our ability to endure all obstacles until we see a day of rebirth. “Root” also stands for the beginning of human race. I would like to extend the Chinese Ink Painting culture from the origin to the one at present or even in the future for human race through my devotion in my work. There is an idiom in the Chinese society. It says that a soaring tree must have its own root while the water surrounding the mountain must have its original source. Both the root and water bear the same meaning that life is the main conceptual idea concealed behind. As I frequently apply in my work these two elements water and root, I really hopes that when the viewers see my work, they can grasp and read my conceptual meaning in my recent creative pieces of work, which is expressed by applying another form of water images like snow and cloud etc.

我的作 品是以 樹根為 主題, 把根的 生態活 現在觀 眾面前 ,給 人一種 潛藏 於內的 生命力 的感受 ,藉以 歌頌生 命的源 頭一根 。在我 早期的 作品中 ,經 常可以 看見光 禿禿的 樹枝, 在冰封 千里的 大地上 ,幹根 依然挺 起腰板 ,力 抗嚴寒,苦難 壓不倒 ,反 之把 它們磨 練得更 有生命 的力量 ,在幹 根體內 ,隱然 流著火 熱的血 ,只 待冰消 雪解, 春回大 地 ,便 再次萌 芽發枝 ,化 出蒼翠 美麗的 大地。[根] 是生 之源; [根] 也 是 代表民 族之始 ,但 願以此 能尋找 民族文 化之源 ,把 蘊藏在 內心無 限的 熱情凝 聚於水 墨之中 ,傳達 出我對 生命的 熱愛,對民族 和人類 未來 的寄望 。中 國民間 有兩句 ?話:「參天 之木必 有其根 ,懷 山之 水 必有其 源」。 「根」 與 「水」 同時 隱藏著 「生命 之源」 的 含意, 故在我 近期的 作品中 ,也 經常 運用到 「水」 的另 一狀態 ,如 「雪」 和 「雲」 等表達 途徑來 舒發我 內心的 感受。

“When a passer-by slows down, starts sensing the ground and his surroundings, recalls his memory of the landscape and looks for his proper position in it, he might discover himself located in an intersection of complex connections with diverse materials, structures and beingsÿ where all elements undergo years of transformation, conflicts and interventions, they are now co-existing or merged together to form the space he lives

Along Campus Circuit East in CUHK, on the pathway situated in an unpopulated green area, I regularly practice a 25 minutes walk connecting the way from home to the outside world. The routine walk, started for a practical need, grew into a consistent habit, then turned into an artistic exploration, it witnesses an ordinary act progressing into an environmental event, derived from curiosity of a neglected association between an individual and his/her existing space, focusing ? ? the fading relationship connecting passers-by and their stepping ground.

Walking on the pathway, sensing its surroundings and thinking of a ? individual’s role in it - day after day I cross the familiar landscape, with prompt strides in the morning light and leisurely steps under the sunset glow, experimenting intimate sensations and secluded feelings in a public space. Behind its organic artificial setting, in response to the delicate sequence of the natural world or the hasty interference of mankind, numerous energetic activities are concealedÿ subtle or perceptible, they challenge the instinct of the passers-by, awaken their physical senses, urge them to sense the site with novel perspective, thus stir up erratic excitement into a monotonous practice. From corporeal to mental, the sensual playground activates physical responses, it simultaneously beneficiates their mind activity. The thoughts of the passers-by are liberated, pursuing their foot steps touching the ground or the perceptions entering their surroundings, to travel inside-out of matters, spirit and time crossing over their boundariesÿ related issues might expand and contract infinitively from personal to public, then return to the fundamental concerns about the origin of one’s existence, value, behaviors and connections in the living environment and their physical and mental relationships in it. Based on a personal journey, the art project Lot No. STTI437RP&Ext - Campus Circuit East is a site specific investigation, focusing on the material and mental interactive connections between the ground and the passers-by. Through the medium of reproduction of found objects transmuted into a series of sculptural ceramic bodies, presented on site or as indoor installations, it reflects the characteristics of an environment fusing natural and artificial elements, exploring the physical and mental interactive responses of an individual engaged in such a space.

To me, when the road to artistic creation is narrowing, it often happens that, seemingly from nowhere, many unforseen possibilities seem to emerge. With this fleeting swirl of chanced ideas and forms, I allow myself to float to and fro in a seemingly bounded sphere and I am able to fully explore my sense of curiosity.

Yet, in order to read into my work, I have always entangled in a juxtaposition of ambiguity with the obvious and obscure. This experience has often been repeated and lingered upon long after the work has been completed. It seems with close scrutiny, the inside nature of the work becomes vividly alive

I have tried to rationalize this situation. This response is to due to the intertwining, seemingly often obscure and constantly evolving state of artistic creation. This state represents my true feeling and thoughts about art. Clay has been my most familiar creative medium. But it has also confined me to a mode of traditional thinking that is not easy to transcend. This confinement is not due to the limitation of the expression of ideas or the physical properties of the material. Very often, it is more to do with my floating and unsettled character, trying to feel at ease within the context of conventional pottery.

Two years ago, I started the MFA program with a clear directionsteer away from using clay to create my work. This has not been successful. From the initial research to the formulation of ideas, thinking in terms of clay has dominated the entire process of development. In conclusion, the finished work is the result of integrating clay with other alternative materials.

‘Brink’ is made up of three pieces of work - ‘Drawn’ÿ‘Uncertainty’ and ‘The Ultimate’. The main exploration is the response of a person when facing something unknown. Trying to combine a familiar medium with new materials is totally different from handling just clay. The challenge, because of the many variable outcomes and situation is a truly memorable experience. Drawn I placed the needles into the soft clay repeatedly thousand of times. The physical changing state of clay created a sense of the "Drawn" from the concentrated attention to mechanical repetition. The distance between me and the needles began to blur as it gradually took its shape. This is one of the works from ‘Brinkÿ. ‘Brink’ is about a state of mindÿa situation that leads to the threshold of unknown space, unforseen danger or unexpected stir. 「引」 「引」 •是 一個緩 慢而不 易察覺 的過程。由 一開始專注的 、重 覆的 ,到 最後無 意識的 陷入一 種不可逆轉的狀態。 「引」 是 臨界 J 作品其 中之一,擬述 的是, 人在臨 界邊緣 面對 即將發 生或不可測知 的未來,所產 生的一 種心理 狀態。

My inspiration is sourced from my observations of the misbehavior of youth. Self mutilation with razor blades has become an all too popular trend among teenagers. They indulge in this practice primarily to gain attention and care from others. As a teacher, working closely with young people, I find it ironic that they often value their clothing more than their bodies. Consequently, using the analogy that clothing performs the function of protection for the body and school uniforms represent the students1 identity, I have symbolically combined the hair from many of my students as a material to 'weave' and integrate into a piece of cloth which I have then tailored into a school uniform. By matching the hair with the clothing in a symbolic manner I hope that it will convey the message to young people that they should treasure their bodies and their lives.

Chung Choong, Esq., my father Simplicity is at the heart of the world’s great ideas. In many ways, the challenge that I faced, the challenge that many artists face, is to create work from within a familiar vocabulary, so familiar as to be called fundamental, but which can express the unique message of the maker. There’s nothing new under the sun, so the saying goes, and what follows is the story of taking basic painting elements, combining them in a novel way, and use this new visual syntax to produce unexpected results. This has resulted, in short, in what I have called the Post-scholar Style.

In China, there is painting tradition with a facet that does not have a parallel in the Western canon, that of the Scholar style*. This scholar style was the umbrella term historically used to group the four hobby arts (music, game of go, calligraphy and painting) practiced by China’s scholars. These arts served as therapeutic releases from the stresses and anxieties that came from the demands associated with intensive studies. Regardless of the tradition or aesthetic position one brings to the studio, painting can deliver a social and psychological function. Contemporary Chinese culture no longer has the social class of scholar, as the road to success has diversified. Today’s businessmen, executives, professionals, academics and homemakers have replaced yesteryear’s scholar class.

Until 2002, I had concentrated my creative efforts within the practice of the calligraphic arts, attaining a skill that was advanced and successful. Beyond brushing inks to inscribe characters, however, I rarely ventured far into the more expressive arts. A few paintings of lotuses, bananas and some illustrations of bamboos were all to be found in my repertoire. These paintings didn’t echo the scholar style, didn’t break authentic, expressive ground, and also failed to evoke deeper meaning or passion on a subjective level. Then, as with all eureka moments, it seems that I was hit by a decisive, watershed moment. To say that it only took a day to discover my unique expressive style isn’t accurate, as I was eliminating ideas all along, leaving one expressive methodology to stand out. Just as writers and composers edit as they go, just as entrepreneurs freeze moving ahead with a product in order to refine and adjust, I was also refining a visual language that would deliver my impulse to canvas. My style merges Chinese and Western traditional techniques and materials, fusing both cultural histories and pooling the advantages from the classic materials. The work’s energy is conveyed by combining stroke and colour in a way that is

identifiably Chinese as well as Western. The colours reach out to I the viewer and the brush strokes keep the gaze moving, all the while anchored in a tradition that is as Chinese as it is Western. Typically, traditional Chinese paintings project power and grandeur through size. Bold brush strokes were rarely used, a feature further undercut by the muted palette that was preferred by the classic painters.

Another method I developed to augment expression is through the power of splashes and flash effects coming from the use of ( colourful paint. By adding the black Chinese ink or strong colour from the reverse side of the thin tree-bark paper, I visually deliver j a flow not typically seen in Chinese works. This underpainting j technique is particularly effective if I use it with a bright light! colour on the viewer-facing surface of the painting.

後文 人風格 「勿 因以簡 單的方 式而獲 得意外 之結果 而失望 。勿 因純樸 而失 望。」 家父鍾 重先生

純樸是世界上 各種偉 大思想 的核心 。有很 多方面 ,我 所面對的挑 戰也是 許多 藝術家 所面對 的挑戰 ,它 正是運 用熟悉 的辭彙 ,熟悉 致可稱 之為基 本詞彙 表 達出創 作者獨 特訊息 之作品。這? 起來並 不新穎 ,無 非是採 用各 種基本 的繪畫 元素,以新方 法把它 們揉合 ,把 當中所 產生的 新視覺 排列帶 來意外 的結果。簡而言之, 這過程 我稱為 後文人 風格。 I

}

在中國 ,有 一個層 面的繪 畫傳統 ,與西方經典 原則不 _致 ,這 就是 「文 人畫」 。這一 學者風 格曾是 個統稱 的詞語 ,歷史 上用來 將中國 文人從 事 的四種 業餘藝 術愛好 (琴 、祺 、書 、畫) 歸類在 一起。那時這 四種藝 術被視 為精神 的調劑 ,以 解除文 人刻苦 學習而 產生的 壓力和 焦慮。

4'

儘管有 人賦予 繪畫在 傳統或美學上 的地位 ,其 實繪 畫也可 以作為 一種社 會和 心理上 的功能 。當 代中國 文化不 再具有 文人這 一階層 ,因為 走向成 功道 路已經 多種多 樣了。今天的 企業家 、行 政人員 、專業 人士、 學者和 持 家者已 經代替 了昨天 的文人 階層。

n

m 卑‘

我的風 格彙集 了中國 和西方 傳統的 技法和 素材, 融合了 兩者的 文化歷 史 ,集中 了來自 經典素 材的各 種優點 。創 作的能 量透過 一種筆 法和色 彩的結 合表現 出來, 其結合 的方式 均可追 溯中國 和西方 的繪畫 。各種 色彩 邀請觀 賞者一 同欣賞 •而筆 觸則使 觀者的 注視點 躍動, 切都源 於中國 和西方 的傳統 。一 般來? 中國繪 畫是通 過大小 來突出 其威力 和 宏偉的 ,過去 很少使 用渾厚 的筆觸 來表達 ,卻 以減弱 墨色的 濃度比 較 為古典 畫家所 喜愛。

我創 作了增 加表現 力的另 一方法 ,就 是使用 豐富油 彩的飛濺力量和閃爍 效果。從 薄薄的樹皮縐 紙背面 添加中 國水墨 或強烈 的顏色 ,我傳 遞了一 種視 覺上的 流動感 ,這 種表現 手法在 中國作品中並 不常見 。若這 一背底 塗技 法在畫 作正面 配合明 亮的顏 色會有 更好的 效果。

FM\ Hi In the studio, my painting compositions are improvisational and spontaneous in character and execution. It may take a long while to build up the ‘feel’ of my next paintingÿbut by the time I stand in front of my painting table, my composition flows, waiting to be executed in a practice that is natural, therapeutic and meditative. This exercise is what I refer back to the scholar’s tradition, one that Chinese culture’s post-scholars can make their own.

在 畫室裡 ,我 的繪畫 創作是 即興的 ,同時 製作並 完成它 。我 可能 要花上 長 時間來 蘊釀我 下一幅 作品的 「感 覺」 ,但 當我站 在畫桌 前時, 構思便 會如同泉水 般源源 不絕, 聽候我 將它躍然紙上 。這是 一個自 然湧現 、有 治療 作用和 沉思的 過程。這一歷 程使我 返回文 人傳統 ,一 個中國 文化的 後學者 可將它 演變成 為自己 特色的 過程。 在我的 創作和 實踐中 ,繪 畫就 是繪畫 的行動 ,大致 是按照 襌宗的 「在喝 綠 茶時喝 綠茶」 之實踐 。專 心繪畫 的行動 ,如 實地表 達事物 ,是 我在自 己的後 學者風 格中的所衍生 的驅動 力和領 略到的 真誠。

In my compositions and in my practice, painting is the act of painting, roughly in accordance with the Zen practice of ‘drink green tea when you drink green tea’_ To be present to the act of painting, to express what is being expressed while it is being expressed, as it were, is the drive and honesty I create in my post-scholar style.

“The conception of this project is purely about dialogues of thoughts between oneself - a confession of belief and conflicting emotions about life and ways of living. Thoughtfully speaking, I see art / artwork as a form of a visual or sensory medium, headed by Philosophy and Spirituality, which are something logical and emotional. The questions of dilemma are balance and interpretation.” “I intend to achieve a conclusion and definition for my ideal art form, which is something natural, simple, realistic and most importantly, to express one’s subconscious and ego, and to construct a sense of self-awareness in order to gain a better understanding between art, mankind and things around me. I believe this is the fundamental principle of my philosophy.”

Fate People live in the city and are easily affected by it. The fate of the people can be controlled by the city? Environment, no one can escape, as the relationship between one and their growth environment is so tight. As a basic example, an unhappy home environment can affect a child? longterm behavior. The memories of one’s childhood can affect their whole life.

However, in this project, the city environment does not directly affect the fate of people. Humans are not the subject, they are only included as a metaphor to the key objects, where they are included, they are according to their nature, situation and condition. They have their own fate and are subject to it. Umbrella / Water / Container This is about the fate of an umbrella. We can see how an everyday object faces the environment under good and bad conditions. This is also about fate of water. We could say that water always lives free in the environment. Water can be transformed by the environment, it manipulate itself, but is manipulated. We should also see the living environment as a container that we all live in. This environment may not be harmonious, but we strive for harmony in our co ? t3in6r. I chose the umbrella in my painting because it is an everyday object and is common to everyone. To the viewer, the image of an umbrella is not strange because it is mass produced and it belongs to everyone. Everyone has experienced holding a ? umbrella on the street, and, perhaps even cradling it when alone and scared. In those moments, the umbrella gives shelter, protecting the user. In Chinese folklore, the umbrella is not only for sheltering from rain or severe sunlight, but also for the ghosts. In those stories, an umbrella is often haunted by a spirit, as it can avoid the sunshine and gives shelter, the safest place for the spirit. Sometimes, it even becomes ?ome?for them. Except for the umbrella as the main image in my painting, the unconscious drip and brush strokes are representing the rain or passion. Perhaps you will question what the container is. Around the world, cities become the large container. Everyday people live in the container. On rainy days, it is full of water, but also holds memories and passion.

During Painting Oil?

關於傘的詩意

Day after day, in the process of oil painting, the dried out pigment is retained on my palette. Starting to paint, mixing the fresh and dried-out pigment onto the canvas. I intend to keep an ongoing process in my paintings, therefore, my palette is similar to my painting. In my painting, the use of dripping layers on the surface of the canvas gives contrast to the dried out pigment. The unconscious dripping creates unfinished layers on the edge of the canvas which is akin to life which we always feel is unfinished.

命運一傘 、水 與容器

一切從 傘出發 。我想 到了關 於_ 把雨傘 的命運 。雨 天晴天 ,雨傘 替人遮 風擋日 。城 市人 ,每人 總有一 把或以 上的傘 子吧! 手握著 傘時, 總是親 切的, 有時是逼切的 ,或許 也是狼 狽的。

Like Rembrandt, and many other painters, coming to the end of a painting I use white paint to provide highlight. A metaphor for our lives, providing highlights to end our day.

在 雨水多 的城市 ,我與 雨傘十 分接近 。我喜 歡雨水 喜歡 想像雨水的型 態, 想像它 從雲端那兒掉 下之前 ,及掉 下來後 與 塵世不同的表 面或物 件 的撞擊 最終化 為不同 的面貌 等種種 ••這 些我 稱之為 雨水的 不同命

是一 連串相 關物之 聯想。

由微 觀到宏 觀一從日常用 物件, 到城市 ,到天 與地。

運。

Memories of Rainy Days 沒錯 ,雨 水也有 它的命運啊!就像 人吧!

My realization of the character of the umbrella might well depict human beings, in emotion and the attitude of encountering problems in the environment. It is when I refresh my memories about those days when I did my paintings in my studio, and it rained hard outside, when I looked down the street and saw those many colors of the umbrellas, and the struggles of people.

我 們每每 受環境 影響我 們的生 活型態 。至於 後來有 關小瓶 子內的 雨傘的 無時無 刻都在 下著雨 ,雨 水像 我一樣 的滴滴 「塔 塔」 地不安 著罷!

意象, 我想是 由於我心中那 個像瓶 子空間 一般的 我居住 的城市

1

傳 ?中有 關鬼魅 在傘內 的故事 ,對 我來? ,是感 人的。 傘在這 些故事 裹 ,成 了容器 ,成了 不能存 活於世 的孤魂 野鬼的 暫時藏 「身」 之所。 每次 撐著傘 ,我總想到這些淒美 的故事 關 於在世人及去 世的人 的處境 等事情。

後來 我畫了 一系列 油畫。沒有像 以往般 用厚重的油彩 ,反 以比較薄及流 動 的筆觸 表達有 關傘與 水的不 同狀況。我 在沒有 上班的 大半個 年頭裏 那 _把 時正是 春夏雨 水之季 ,我 從八樓 畫室眺 望下去 看雨 中的軒 尼詩道 把 的雨傘 ,伴著 忽忙走 過的人 ,也 隨隨 走動著 。然後 ,我 又回 到畫前 ,望 著畫 面上那彷以飄浮於某 個空間 的傘兒 ,望 了良久 ,沈 思著。 |

In our contemporary world sculpture can be employed to translate mass material from one area of significance to another, from plain objects to something meaningful or complex. Sculpture is essentially three-dimensional artwork. The combination of techniques, form, content, shape, texture, balance as well as the principles of order make for it to be a rather compelling discipline. It is defined by a unique language unto itself which is of particular interest to me. The characteristic language of three-dimensional forms and structures together with their subjective and objective references allows me the flexibility to work intuitively within a formal set of relationships.

The aim of my study relates to a focus on nature and natural elements such as the movement of the sky and observations of it’s constant changes which are as important to me as the urban world in which I live. I use the analogy of the sky as being like an artists canvas, full of imaginative options. It has become an example of “self reflection and purifying processes” by which to create my sculptures. I create multiple components and allow them to coalesce into unified forms, to reveal nature’s infrastructure and the way that it can transform and disappear simultaneously. Through a process of documentation and experimental approaches with natural resources I hope to capture the spirit of nature’s journey and energy to reflect the wonder of the cycle of life. For a deeper experience one must appreciate and understand the importance of balance, pattern and texture as well as movement and relationships of time and space. My observations of the sky leave many impressions on my imagination. The uncertain form of the cloud, constantly changing it’s appearance so rapidly reminds me of a natural motion picture. It is so colourful as it and allusive as it drifts through space. At time positive, at other times negative, it is sometime real and then suddenly it disappears out of sight. It contains rhythm, much like music and as I watch I am reminded of a symphony. Large and small, light and heavy, it is full of explosive energy. I can relate the essence of both sculpture and ceramics to these qualities.

Colour is an important element in my work as it is in nature. It has a powerful psychological and expressive content which is complementary to the medium of clay. My passion for working with colour glaze and texture are inseparable. My glazes are my second medium and have been developed through careful research and the testing of successive layers on text pieces. The colours and textures are designed to relate to the structural forms from nature. In order to develop the appropriate surface quality I have to master its density to arrive at the desired tone and to capture the integral sense of rhythm each ceramic piece will have a particular glaze which corresponds directly to it.

The contrasting qualities of light and dark can create such a powerful and dramatic impact, both visually and psychologically on the same image within a given environment. As such it can become a significant metaphor for life. I often feel that my life is a series of steps between dark and light. I recognize through my experience of nature and art that I am on a journey in order to reform my inner world and purify my spirit so that I can reach into the future and make new discoveries.

對於現 代雕塑 ,我 們幾 乎可以 用任何 一種物 料和方 式來演 譯它一從一種 意義到 另一種 意義; 從簡 單的事 物到意 味深長 的形態 和安排。雕 塑作為 立體造 型藝術 ,它 的技巧 、形式、內容 、形狀 、紋理 、平 衡與秩 序等元 素的組 合使它 非常有 吸引力 。作為 一種另 類語言 ,這 些特點,促 使我投 入雕塑 的研究 。我 可以 通過學 習認識雕塑的 特點來 瞭解它 •用體 驗來領

會立體 造型與 結構在 現實和 感覺之中的藝 術表達 ,並 在創 作過程 中以直 覺聯 繫它們 內在的 關係。

我的研究旨 在透過 雕塑創 作經歷 自然, 例如觀察天空 的流動 ,天 空自然 形態 的改變 •就如 創作中 的畫幅 ,充 滿想像 的空間。對生 活於城 市中的 我, 這種創 作過程同時作 為一種 「內省 和淨 化的過 程」。小的組 件合併 為成 整體, 顯示了 大自然 的結構 ,呈 現了轉 化與消 失同時 發生的 景像。 記錄對 自然的 探索與 利用自 然資源 的經驗 ,使我 體會到 大自然 裡充滿 著無限 的生命 力和生 命周期 的奇妙 變化。 對天空 的觀察 使我有 很多感 _ 受 浮雲瞬 息萬變 •就像 部電影 _樣 它富 有色彩 、形 態流動 且時. 隱時現 ,也 包含一 種韻律 像一首 交響樂,聲音 的大小 、輕重 ,充滿 |

|

|

激盪 但又極 為和諧。雕塑和陶 藝都包 含這種 韻律。 對 色彩的 探索在 視覺藝 術中是 一個重 要元素 。不少 研究已 證實了 顏色對 心理 有重要 影響, 通過陶 藝作自 我表達 ,我 對釉色 、形體 和紋理 間不可 分割 的關係 有一份 熱愛。 釉色和 物料處 理是我 的第二 個媒介 通 過仔細 研 究和持 績測試 我希 造出配 合自然 形體和 結構的 色彩和 紋理。在表面 處理上 ,我必 須掌握 泥的密 度以達 到所需 的要求。我 的作 品要擁 有自己 的韻律 ,就 要有對 應於它 的氣質 的特殊 釉色。 |

As a ceramic artist who has worked independently to establish my own studio in Hong Kong I recognize how important my studio practice is to me. To continuously explore the quintessential and complex elements involving the ceramics discipline and to practice skills and develop a deep relationship with clay exudes a sensuality and pleasure that is irresistible. This is the way that I experience life.

|

在 概念上 ,我 提出我 的興趣 在於大 自然中 「轉 化」 和 「消 失」 之間 的關 係 。「轉 化」 改變 了事物 的可見 形式; 「消 失」 最 終使事 物變得 不可。

此外 ,大 自然還 帶給我 黑暗與 光明的啟示, 我有時 感到同 樣事情 在不同 環境中 有不同 的作用 ,並且 感覺到 我的生 活亦步 進於黑 暗與光 明之間 經 常改變 。我 視體驗 大自然 為一種 自省的 藝術表 達方式 利用自 我與自 然的 結合作 為實驗 過程。將自我 帶進淨 化心靈 的旅程 •使 我能向 前遠望 並 有新的 發現。 |

作為 _個 在香港 建立自 己工作 室和獨 立陶藝 工作者 ,不 斷實踐 是重要 的 。例 如釉色 與泥土 的試驗 ,造 型和表 面處理 ,燒 制過程 和效果 。當 中 ,擁 有寅踐 的技術 和與陶 泥之間 的深切 關係是 重要的 元素。 我體驗 到 利用泥 土創作 的樂趣 ,那 種感覺 是不可 抗拒的 ,這亦 是我體 驗生活 的 方式。

Artists have different intentions when creating works of art, which vary with different people, places and periods. For me, I have spent much time rethinking about the significance and purpose of art creation that makes sense to me. I see art as a channel to express my feelings and views on relationships between people. Through my work, maybe some commonalities in relationships between urban people can be found. Working person living in a large urban city such as Hong Kong always feel tense and stressed, and I am one among many. Hence, I have focused my MFA studio research on how I express relationships with other people, (including such aspects as isolation, conflict, alienation, as well as warmth and caring) through my figurative painting. I have categorized the ideas of my art creation under three basic themesÿ My beloved, Between man and woman, and Pressure.

In a figurative drawing or painting that expresses personal feelings and emotions, there is always tension between content and form. Very often, the viewer’s attention is focused more on what is represented (content), but how it is represented (form) tends to be ignored. In order to express my feelings and emotions through figurative painting, and to transfer these inner feelings to the viewer, it is important that I gain a balance between form and content, so that feelings and artistic qualities will be taken into account.

Although the main purpose of my art creation is to express my personal feelings towards people around me, my manner of presentation is not highly expressive. Instead, I use a figurative and even narrative way of presentation.

The first focus of my study is the perception of art, especially towards narrative painting. For more than 50 years, Conceptual Art has seemed to retain a higher prestige in the art world than representational art. Abstract painting seems to play a more decisive role in painting, where many representational artists find themselves in an inferior position. However, contemporary painters tend not to stick to one particular style, and contemporary art theories recognize that no single way of seeing is sufficient to appreciate all kinds of artwork. Assuring that as telling a story in one’s painting is a valid means of expression in contemporary art, I then put the focus on the media of my work, namely painting and drawing and a mixture of the two to express emotions.

When I begin a work, I usually have an idea in my mind, which I will try to capture in a number of sketches with my pen. Then, I will begin to paint, and trying to develop the ideas from the sketches. Gradually, I found that my drawings were more natural and powerful than the final paintings. This caused me to re-examine my practice in drawing and painting. What are the basic considerations that influence how I approach the drawing and painting process? During the initial stage of my fine arts study, I tended to regard my paintings as the end product, and my drawing as only the process of creation and a medium to support painting. In fact, there is a historical tendency to view a drawing as an intermediate stage, and not an end product or a work of art on its own right. Interestingly, this preliminary step happened in every case in my process of painting. This was because very often when I was unsatisfied with the visual effect of a painting, I would re-do it again and again on the canvas, until I felt satisfied with it. In this case, I was actually treating my paintings as drawing. On the other hand, when I re-consider my drawing, I find that when I capture my ideas quickly, I usually draw with the materials most convenient and closest at hand. For me, that is pen. Working several times on the same sketch enriches the work, and sometimes creates interesting visual effects through layering.

藝 術家在 創作時 ,都有 著不同 的動機 ,那會 因個人 、地方 和時代 有所不 同 。而我 卻花了 不少時間思索 藝術創 作對自 身的意 義和目 的為何。對我 來?,藝術是 讓我表 達對人 的感受 和看法 的一道橋樑。

常聽 到人家 ?香港 人生活 緊張、 壓力大 ,我 想我定 必是其 中一員。故在 此 碩士課 程中我 所探討 的是如 何以具 象的繪 畫表達 人與人 之間的 關係, 包 括孤立 、爭鬥 、疏隔 ,以及 溫暖和 關愛。 我的 創作主 題有三 :至愛 、男 女之間 和壓力。在表 達個人 感受和 情緒的 具象 素描或 繪畫中 ,經常 存在著 內容與形式的 拉力。很多時 ,觀 者會較 為 關注作 品在表 達甚麼 (內容), 但如 何表達 (形式 卻被 忽略了 。為 了以具 象繪畫 表達我 的感受 和情緒 並把它 傳達給觀者, 我須要 在內容 和形式 之間取得平衡 ,希望 在表達 內心時 ,亦兼顧作品 的藝術特質。 1

雖然我的創 作在於 表達個 人對周 遭人物 的感受,但 表達手 法卻不 屬表現 性的 ,反之 我卻 以具象 ,甚 至敘述 性的表 現手法 創作。 |

我的 首個研 究焦點 是關於 藝術觀 ,特 別是對 敘述性 繪畫。在此五 十多年 間, 觀念藝 術較之 再現性 的藝術 似乎在 藝術圈 中擁有 更優越的位置 。而 在 繪畫中 ,抽 象繪畫 似乎又 扮演著 較重要 的角色 。相反 ,不 少創 作再現 性作品 的藝術 家則處 於較低 的地位。不過 ,近 代的 藝術家 多不會 固定某 種特定 的風格 ,近 代的 藝術理 論亦認 同沒有 單一的 觀看方 法足夠 藉以欣 賞各種各樣的藝術 作品。

確定了作 為當代 的藝術 ,在繪 畫中? 故事亦 是一種 有意義 的表達 途徑, 我把 研習焦 點放到 作品的 媒介上 ,即 以繪畫 、素描 和兩者 的混合 體來表 達 情感。

Studying on the development of drawing, we know that during the 17th century drawing was no longer a subsidiary to other art disciplines, but was established as a major discipline in its own right. In the second year of study, I spent more time in experimenting and treated my drawings as independent works of art. I became more relaxed in dealing with my artwork, and I began to feel more comfortable with other ways of working on drawing and painting. Sometimes it was not easy for me to identify whether my works were drawing or painting, or a combination of both.

當我 開始創 作一件 作品時 ,通 常我在 腦海中 會先有 了意念 ,並且 以原子 筆繪描 成草稿 ,把那 意念捕 捉下來 ,再 嘗試從 草稿作 進一步 的構思 ,然 後才 作繪畫 。漸 漸地,發現我 的素描 比起最 終的繪 畫來得 自然和 有力, 這 促使我 重新思 考自己 的素描 和繪畫 。是甚 麼基本 因素, 影響我 如何處 理這些 素描和 繪畫?

在修讀 此課程 的初期 我會 認為自 己的繪 畫才算 是完成 的作品 ,而我 的素描 只屬創 作的過 程和輔 助繪畫 的媒介 。事 實上 ,很 久以來 人們趨 於 把素描 看作為 創作一 件作品 的過程 ,而 不是創 作本身 的結果 。有趣 1

的是 這創作 的起始 階段卻 經常出 現在我 的繪畫 過程中 ,因為 當我對 自 己的繪 畫效果 感未如 理想時 ,便 在畫布 上重做 又重做 ,直至 自己感 到滿 意為止 。如此 ,我 實在把 自己的 繪畫當 作素描 看待。 I

細 看素描 的發展 ,我 們知道 在十七 世紀時 ,素描 已不再 只是其 他藝術 形式的 附屬品 ,它 漸漸 地發展 為一種 主要的 獨立藝 術形式 。在 此課程 的 第二年 ,我用 上更多 時間試 驗素描 的創作 ,並 把素描 作為獨 立的作 品看待 。我 以較 輕鬆的 態度面 對作品 ,並 更放心 地以自 己不慣 常的方 式 來素描 和繪畫 ,有時 我亦難 分那件 作品究 竟該屬 繪畫還 是素描 ,或 是 兩者的 結合。

Doppel Ganger

Searching for the identity of one’s ‘second self is a complex quest because the nature of ‘the second self is obscure. Although it resides in us and it exists close to us, we can never truly see it. It is unpredictable and uncontrollable. It is in disguise, capable of deception, and hides behind the uncertainty. No science, philosophy, psychology, or religion can reveal its real nature. It cannot be defined by logical theories, and belongs to the irrational and intuitive part of humanity. The nature of photography is static and monumental. It carries memoirs, the past, and a sense of antiquity. As soon as the photograph is taken, the present becomes the past, and it is not possible to take back that moment. Photographs capture the entire object in a second, sometimes in a crude and relentless way. It can also reveal something that has been concealed from the human perception.

In the English culture, it is said a dying person will travel his or her own life, tracing back to his/her child hood. It is like a flash back of small bits of memories. Spirits do not belong to particular times or places. Their existence is beyond the substantial world.

In this way, my own Doppel Ganger can appear somewhere in the world, and I might exist at more than one place at the same time. Or I might exist sometime in the history, in the past or in the future. 離魂 尋找 某人的 「第 二重 身分」 是 複雜的 ,因為 「第 二重 身分」 總 是陰暗 的。雖 然它寄 寓在我 們體內 並與我 們非常 貼近, 我們卻 從未真 實地看 到它。它是變 化莫測 和無法 控制的 ,它喬 裝和掩 藏在不 確定性 之後, 科學 、哲學 、心理 學或宗 ?無法 顯露它 的本質 ,它 無法 由邏輯 理論定 義, 它屬於 人類非 理性和 直覺的 部份。

Shadows and silhouettes are not actual beings themselves, but can connote the existence of a being. Costumes can be spokesmen of cultural identity or allegories of identity, as well as being proofs of existence. Transparency can somehow echo something beyond the material world - something that is psychological, spiritual or even divine. All of these metaphors can be stronger beings than the being itself.

Doppel Ganger is a German term that has a psychological meaning and a spiritual meaning. The psychological meaning of ‘Doppel Ganger’ might be more commonly known as ‘Alter Ego’. It means ‘another side of oneself’ÿ which is usually hidden, and which is drastically different from their usual selves. The famous story Jeckyl & Hyde or super heroes such as Spiderman or Superman are the typical examples. Schizophrenic people have alter ego(s)ÿ which are totally different from their surface.

In my projectÿthe inquiry of ‘Alter Ego’ will connect to the inquiry of ‘Identity’. I want to inquire ‘who am I?’ ‘What am I?’ ‘Who is the real myself?’ My out-looking might be just like a shell or a slough. My actual self might be very unpredictable and uncontrollable. The spiritual meaning of ‘Doppel Ganger’ is ‘Sprit or wraithÿÿ which might sound spooky and scary. Wraith is a spirit of a person who is still alive, but dying.

In Japan, it is said that this spirit will travel around (visit) his/her family members, relatives and friends at the moment of death.

攝影的 本質是 靜態而 巨大的 。它 載負著 傳記式 的過去 和一種 已逝的 感覺。 每 當我們 拍下一張照片,現 在即成 為過去 ,那 片刻亦 不可能收回。照片在 瞬間 奪取整 個對象 旄有時 會是一 種粗暴 和冷酷 的方式。它有 可能揭 示隱藏

在 我們認知背後 的某些 事物。 影子不 是獨立 的存在,但 它卻 能諭示某物的 存在; 服 式可能 是文化 身分的 發言 人或甚 是一種 諷諭, 它同時 是存在 的證明。透 明度可 能以某 種方式 回 應物質 世界之 外的某種事物 ,這些 事物可 以是心 理上, 精神上 甚至神 性的。所有這 些隱喻 可能要 比實際 存在的 某事某 物更為 強大。

Doppel Ganger 是 一個具 有心理 學和精 神性意 義的德 語詞。 Doppel Ganger 在心 理學上 通常被 理解為 Alter Ego 第二 自我」 ,它 意味著 自我的 另一面 ,這 一面通 常是隱藏著的 ,並 且很多 時與表 面的自 我截 然不同 。著 名故事 Jeckyl & Hyde 或超 級英雄 譬如蜘 蛛俠或 超人都 是典型 的例子。精神 分裂症 病人的 「第二 自我」 ,就 與他 們表現 出來的 自我 完全不 同了。

「

在我的 作品中 ,對 「第二 自我」 的追 尋連繫 到對個 人身份 的探討。我想 要問 「我是 誰?」 、「我 是什 麼?」 、「那 一個才 是真正 的我自 己?」 表 面的我 也許只是外殼 ,我的 真正自 已也許 是非常 變化莫 測和無 法控制 的0 Doppel Ganger 的精神 性意思 是離魂 ,這 也許聽 起來有 點可怕 。在日 本,據? 人在生 死離留 之際就 會出現 這種離魂狀態,這時 靈魂會 四處遊 盪去 探訪他 / 她的 家人和 朋友。在英國 文化中 ,亦 相信一 個臨終 的人會 像電 影高速 回捲般再一次 經歷自 己一生 的回憶 ,精 神不屬 於特定 的時間 和地點 ,他 們的 存在是在真實 世界之外的。

也許 ,我 自己的 Doppel Gange 「能 出現在 世界上的任何 地方, 甚至能 同時 存在於 多過一 個地方 。也許 ,我 能存在於歷史 上的任 何一刻 ,不管 過去或 未來。

When reality relegates

relegating

relegated

n30 years ago, I became a cinema billboard painter. At that time painting was just a paint job. I have painted thousands of cinema billboards. Several billboards were placed side by side for display in the form of montage. For years, the form of montage was addressed to my hands but not to my heart. Time passed those hand-made billboards had been replaced by computer graphics and I moved on to become a scenic artist. In this project, I am making a billboard-size artwork using the form of montageÿ however, this experience conveys meaning and carries greater significance. My life, my value and my pursuit of Art has been relegated and rebuilt over the years, the language of montage has never faded, but breathes new life into my heart as time goes by.”

Journals and newspapers are a medium for the general public to acquire information. The role of mass media is to record incidents and report facts. To some extent they present a rationale attitude. I read everyday as most people do. When I read, I also collect. Collect news, collect thoughts and even collect passions. I make news clippings, not on a regular basis nor focusing on any specific topic

House of the Cosmo

From An Ant of my house in childhood.

The cosmos is thought of as an orderly or harmonious system. It originates from a Greek term meaning order. When used as an absolute, the term cosmos is considered to be all that exists. Some theologians use the term to denote the created universe, not including God. Many philosophers use the word "absolute", cosmos and universe synonymously to include all that exists. In the 20th century, view of cosmos as "nature as self-sufficient, self-governing body" is in sharp contrast to the view of nature as merely mechanism for the growth of humans. In the cosmos world-view, man is a part of nature.

I saw the Big and Small of the cosmos from my house when I was a child. An ant, walking on the ceramic tile floor of my house took an hour to walk from one end to the other end of the room. But it was so easy for me to finish the walk through the room in a few seconds. The space is big for it, whereas it is small for me for the bigger creatures of the room. Indeed, there is no big or small for the ant as its eyes have flat angles, and it cannot see in the third dimension.

I look at the cosmos in terms of “BIG” and “SMALL” There are a lot of things next or distant from me, as a whole, I thought I am a very small module in the Cosmos. The ancient scholar, Chuang Tse, Taoism, A Happy Excursion. He used the philosophy of the principles of BIG and SMALL to define the freedom and carefree space of our inner heart. HOUSE represents a universe in that it contains air, water, natural light, humanity and information of the world. For our house is our corner of the world. As has often been said, “It is our primary universe, a real cosmos in every sense of the world. If we look at it intimately, the humblest dwelling has beauty its primitiveness, a primitiveness. (The poetics of space, John R. Stilgoe pg. 4) M

I started to learn about the cosmos from the house of my childhood. Thereafter, I thought about our (human) relationship with all these living creatures.

From the fish tanks of my house in childhood. Our home had a big fish tank with numerous golden fishes. When I was young, I buried their dead body by flushing in water. I thought they could go back to the sea through the flushing water. It is the thought of a transition from life to death. I thought we might like to understand them, but, we could not talk to each other. They are so small in the big sea. And I am so small to understanding their world. Bird in my home’s bird cage

A bird flew into our house on one sunny winter day when I was young. We loved it. We brought it a beautiful wooden bird cage. We covered the bird cage with a white cloth to keep it warm. One day, it stopped singing. It died. We buried it in our garden. I cried and regretted that we kept it in our home as it should have lived happily under the big sky. I captured those I have encountered, learnt, shared, caught, thought, sensed and experienced in my house of my childhood through the layering of paint and explicit figure rendering. At that time, my pair of big eyes explored my little cosmos in order to search the big cosmos.


寓居 的宇宙

由兒時家中的螞蟻 看宇宙

「天 地四 方曰宇 ,往 古來今 曰宙」 ,中國 文字一 宇宙表 示全部 時間和 空間 的綜合。在二 十世紀 ,宇 宙被用 來表示 我們存 在的一 個時空 連續體 。「已 知 宇宙」 或 「可觀宇宙」 一詞 用以表 示我們所看得 見或可 觀察到 的部份 宇宙。

第一 次看到 螞蟻在 紙皮石 地的夾?走動 。在 窄小的 縱橫走 道上只 管向前 直走 。那 時小小 腦袋的 我想了 一些小 道理。螞蟻用 一整天 的時間 去走完 那小 房子、 而我只 花數十 秒便能 走完了 。它 們看到 我是大 、我看 它們卻 是 很渺小 。其實 它們跟 本看不 到我有 多大, 因為它 們的眼 晴只看 到平面 並沒有 角度的 。人 類有 的是立 体角度 ,大與 小在每 一個位 置理應 是有不 同的 体驗。

自身 的宇宙 觀是從 兒時家中的每 一角所 發生的 小事而 開始。 在 Gaston Bachdard 的 The Poetics of Space — 書中關於 「屋」 的述 ? ,引 發了我 一連串 的宇宙 思維。

由兒時家中的魚缸 看宇宙 在家一 角放置 了一個 很大的 魚缸, 每隔一 段時間 金魚就 會一條 條的死 去 。那時 我想它 們是從 大海來 死後 應該回 到大海 。無 知的我 放它們 於廁所 用水把 它送走 。我不 知生與 死的真 正意義 ,亦不 曉得大 海對它 有多大 。這對 我們人 類來? ,就 是一 個很深 很大的 問題。

"For our house is our corner of the world. As has often been said,

1

it is our first universe, a real comos in every sense of the world. If we look at it intimately, the humblest dwelling has beauty its primitiveness, a primitiveness. "

由兒時 家中的 自來鳥 看宇宙

他認為 家是自 我的宇 宙開始,是最 真實的 。在 最真 切的體 會中我 們看到 本來不 美的地 方都成 為最美 的角落 。我 亦感受 到他對 「屋」 与 「宇 宙」 的論述。他 認為 「屋」 向上而結的 建構是 包含了 人性的 靈慾。

家中一 角掛了

_ 個鳥籠,小石 燕子是 自來的 。在冬 日我們 用布包 起鳥籠

為 它保暖 。一天 它不再 唱歌了 •原來 它靜靜 死去了 。傷心 幼小的 我將它 放在盒 子內將 它埋葬 於屋外 的一處 草地中 。後 悔了。我們應該讓 它在倘 大的天 空生活 不要困 它於那 小小空 間裏。

在思想自己可 觀的宇 宙時, 惱海總 是浮現 「大」 與 「小」 兩個 概念。

|

我 將一片片的油 畫顏料 一層層 的放在 帆布上 讓自 己的宇 宙觀層 層漸漸 的浮現 ,細心 將自身 的經驗 、感覺 及思維 去描繪 由平面 至立體 與觀 者分享 「宇 宙」 中的 「已知 宇宙」 或 「可 觀宇 宙」。 |

What is most important to us is often invisible to our eyes. In the invisible father, I wish the viewer to see beyond what is there. I wish to pursue the beauty and tension of what is not there. Like ‘white space’ in Chinese ink painting or the Peking Opera or the mime, the meaning comes from the empty space. By making the visible invisible, I hope to make people rethink what we usually take for granted - the bonding between father and son. My sculpture is designed in such a way so that viewers can interact with it and play the part of the missing ‘father’. Stainless steel is used for two reasons. Firstly, being metal, it is a good conductor of heat. It looks cold but it absorbs heat and will warm up when the viewer interact with it. The viewer can therefore give warmth to the ‘childÿ. Secondly, stainless steel has a mirror-like quality and it allows the viewer to see his own reflection in the sculpture. The viewer will see his own face when he looks into the ‘face’ of the sculpture and thus symbolically turning it into his own child.

My personal experience as a divorced parent and a weekend father in the past few years has made me rethink my relationship with my two sons. The ‘distance’ allows me to look at our relationship from a new perspective. People like to talk about the responsibilities, but what truly is important in the relationship is our love and care for each other.

The role of the father is often looked upon as secondary in a child’s life. As he is not the one who actually gives birth to his child, he is often considered to be the breadwinner. Many fathers spend too much time working and thus neglecting their other roles on their children’s development. The increasing number of family tragedies and teenage suicides in Hong Kong draws our attention once again to love and family values.

My work is a call to return to what I think is missing in the modern world - the love and care for each other. We may have better living standards and more kinds of enjoyments. But what truly is important is often invisible to us. We all feel cold and lonely sometimes when we focus our energy in the pursuit of materialistic pleasure. We all long to love and be loved.

父親在 家中照 顧孩子 的角色 向都被 視為較 次要的 ,也許 由於不 是他把 孩子 生下來 的緣故 很多時 候他的 主要任務是為 家人努 力工作 ,讓 家人 得 到溫飽。不少 父親因 過份投 入工作而往往忽略了 在孩子 成長過程中更 重要 的角色 。近 年來家 庭悲劇 和青少 年自殺 事件在 香港有 上升的 趨勢, 促使 我們再次關注 家庭與 親情的 重要。 I

法, 意義來 自作品 的虛位 。藉著 把看見 的變成 看不見 ,我 希望大 家能重 新思 考我們 常常看 作是理 所當然 的東西 -父子 之間的 親情。 觀眾可 與雕塑產生互 動關係 ,扮演 作品中 那缺少 的父親 。我 的作 品採用 不鏽鋼作為 物料主 要有兩 個原因 。第一 、它 是金屬 ,也是 一種良 好的傳 熱導體 ,它 看起 來很冷 但跟 觀眾接 觸後會 馬上變 得溫暖 起來, 觀眾因 _ 而可以 給予這 「孩 子」 溫暖 。第二 個原因 是鏡鋼 表面像 面鏡子,能把 觀 眾的面 貌也反 映出來 ,觀眾 看著這 雕塑, 也就看 到自己 的樣子,這樣 便 更象徵 性地把它變成 自己的孩子。 I

過去幾 年因離 婚後不 再和兩 名兒子 同住, 我也成 了一個 「週 末父 親」, 這使 我重新 思考自 己和兩 個兒子 的關係 。這 種距離 讓我有 機會從 一個嶄 新的 角度去 審視我 和兩個 孩子的 關係。人們都 喜歡談 及賁任 ,但 真正重 要的是 存在我 們之間 的愛與關懷。 真正重 要的東 西我們 往往會 看不見 。但透過 「看不 見的父 親」,我希望

觀 眾能感 受到他 們所看 不見的。我追 求的是 由那不 存在的 所產生 的美和 張力 。好 像中國 耋中的 「留 白」 ,或 京劇與 默劇中 的抽象 和想像 表現手

我的作 品是要 叫大家 返回到 現代世界所最 缺少了 的愛與 關懷中 。我 們的 生活 水平也 許是提 高了和 有著更 多不同 的享受 •但 真正重要的東 西卻往 往是 我們看 不見或 忽略的。在 追求物 質快慰 的同時,我們 都有感 到冰冷 寂寞 的時候 ,我 們都渴望付出 真愛和 被愛。

I’ve got the impression that beautiful female breasts and chocolates are both sweet, tempting and irresistible. The Sweet Association’ series consists of my sensuality towards a mellow and comforting sensuality that relates to both female breasts and sweet confectionaries. Within this context, a dual message combining both the ‘sentimental’ and ‘Obsession’ conveys a sense that is alluring, suggesting sweet pleasure is carried.

The conception behind this body of work is that the female body part is introduced not so much an erotic gesture nor even a political statement as is referenced in most feminist art. It seeks to project my personal affection towards female breasts and chocolates in an obsessive manner, a fanciful collaboration of both subjects. The perception of an affluent and the contented quality of chocolate refers to my personal confection which can be associated with my sensuality towards the sexy female breast. This set of art work investigates the possibility of applying the affluent and contented characteristics of chocolate to female breast.

The female breasts literally result in different perceptions after they are detached from the body. In my artwork, the female breasts are depicted into round shapes and arranged together with the chocolates in an art piece with melodious qualities, through textures, forms and the fluidity of oil paint. A sexual image with a non-sexual yet sensuous approach reflects a feminine sensitivity in addressing a female body as a new vision - suggesting a fascination with luscious, rich and mellow qualities. Hence, a sexual and sensuous entity is presented in an eye confronting display. The art work “A Sweet Association” is crafted onto a set of wooden blocks which can be associated with individual pieces of chocolate or boxes of chocolates. In my mind, wood is a natural material suggesting a sense of warmth and intimacy and is thus suitable for use as a media to convey this affectionate association. On top of the round edged and well polished timber, the repetitive process of applying many layers of gesso combined with the constant sanding back of the surface is employed in a traditional manner until the painted surface is as smooth as white marble. This laborious process enhances the human touch of the object and in turns releases my sense of reflective and intimate passion with a comforting and gentle tone. Arranged in form of a box of chocolates, both of these female breasts and sweet confectionaries are depicted as a three dimensional relief object with oil paint. The luscious and fluid nature of oil paint and painting method serves as a crucial factor in illustrating these sexy and delicious images. Conjuring a sense of poetic ambiance, the artwork is completed in an explicitly feminine display.

甜蜜 的聯想 對 我來? •漂 亮的乳 房與巧 克力糖 是同樣 的甜美 、吸引 和無法抗拒。

作品 《甜 蜜的 聯想》 包含了 這溫馨 與甜美 的感覺 ,表 現了 女性乳 房與糖 果, 甜點之 間的感 性關係 。這 個創作 訴?著個人對 這種甜 蜜愉? 的情意 結 ,同時 敘述了 自身對 這誘人 題材的 沉迷。 作品中 ,女性 身體並 非以性 或情色 作為創 作概念 •也非 如_ 些女 性作品 般表 述女性 主義, 它衹是 投影了 我個人 對女性 乳房和 巧克力 的迷戀 ,塑 造 出一個 奇怪而 有趣的 組合; 性感的 女牲乳 房和予 人滿足 愉快感覺的巧 克力糖 ,連 成了這感性的 情意結 ,而 創作本 身亦同 時探討 乳房的 性感與 巧 克力糖 的甜美 一起演 繹的可 能性。 女 性的乳 房一般 被認知 作性感 的象徵 ,但 當乳房 從女性 身體上 分開獨 立來看 ,便 會改變 原先乳 房所予 人的性 感感覺 。在這 作品裹 ,我 用流 暢 的油彩 特質描 繪了一 個個柔 美的圓 形乳房 ,這 些乳房 與巧克 力糖整 _ 齊排列 ,繪畫 出一個 甜美的 畫面。 個性 感的圖 象用了 一個非 性感的 鋪 排方式 ,來 述?一 個女性 的細?感受及 其對女 性身體 的新啟 思一女 性 的身體 是甜美 、豐腴 、溫 馨而又 引人遐思的。 如此便 描繪出 這些性 感而又 感性的 個體。

作品 《甜 蜜的 聯想》 用了厚 實的木 塊分別 雕鑿成 巧克力 塊和巧 克力盒 的模樣 ,木料 予人親 切和具 生命的 感覺, 正能表 達這份 感性又 親密的 關係 ,而這 密切的 關係亦 同時通 過製作 過程體 現出來 。作 品用 了傳統 的繪 畫方法 ,首 先把厚 木塊打 磨得平 滑圓潤 ,然 後塗上 了一層 又一層 的 塗底料 ,再 經過無 數次的 打磨, 直至木 塊表面 如雲石 般細滑 。在這 反覆 啄磨的 過程中 ,物 料經多 遍摩擦 連 日的手 感細磨 ,使得 創作人 與作品 的關係 更密切 透過 這柔和 溫厚的 觸感, 從而表 達出創 作者對 題材近 乎沉迷 的情感 。於細 緻的底 塗上, 女性乳 房和甜 點被描 畫成立 體 的模樣 ,看 似一盒 浮雕的 巧克力 糖果, 這些看 來性感 而又可 口的圖 像 ,用 了潤澤 、流麗 的油彩 與細? 的筆法 來描繪 ,而這 種繪畫 方法正 是構成 這性感 與甜美 畫面的 要素。 最後展 示作品 的場景 將營造 以柔美 的氣氛 ,來顯 現作品 的女性 情懷。 1

Although I have been a print-maker for many years, this is my first attempt at printing directly onto fabric. In order to present the theme of outstanding women of Hong Kong in the 1960s I have used many symbolic icons, at the same time using sewing and embroidery techniques so as to bring out the feminine quality and effects on my series of prints. In order to show the natural personalities of each woman, I chose the relief silhouette film of their face and applied monochromatic colour silk screen printing. During the process of exploring stitchery and embroidery techniques I found myself becoming more and more interested in studying needlework and resumed the great pleasure and enjoyment of sewing. Through the selection of a variety of materials I achieved the rich colour and texture on my works. In order to pursue a feeling of unity I made use of my own calligraphy of Chinese Ni-shu, writing two key words for each woman describing their lives or achievements. In every piece of work and illustration my own subjective attitudes and feelings towards these women are shown, however, I hope that my messages will be successfully delivered to observers. On finishing this series of works I feel much satisfied and am glad that there is much scope for further discovery. In future I shall go on studying more aspects of woman’s art and this might be a new direction in the stages of my creative life. I think that I have made an exciting breakthrough in this body of work.

創 作版畫 已有多 年經驗 ,但這 是我第 一次嘗 試在布 上印刷 出圖象 。為了 表 達主題 所要表 揚的一 系列香 港六十 年代傑 出女性,我使 用了不 少象徵 性圖像 ,並配 合以? 紉和刺 繡技巧 ,帶出 女性化 的感受 和果效 。為 了展 現人物 的氣質 ,我 選用 了浮雕 剪影以 及用單 色絲網 印刷法 去表現 她們的 容貌 。在探討刺繡 技巧的 過程中 ,愈 漸感到 有趣味 ,讓我 恢復了 對針黹 藝 術鑽研 的興趣 ,並且 在選用 布材線 料的同 時發現 了色彩 的豊富 變化, 質感與 圖像造 型的配 合能相 得益彰 。我 在每 幅作品 上也曾 嘗試追 求畫面 的 統一性,使用 了兩個 字的詞 語來描 述每一 位女性 ,並運 用了自 己親手 書寫 的中國 隸書予 以配合 ,每 一幅圖 象的刻 劃免不 了流露 個人的 主觀感 情 和看法 ,但仍 希望能 傳達我 要帶給 觀眾的 訊息。這系列 的作品 得以完 成令我 感到十 分滿足 ,也 發現 了創作更新的 可能性 ,今後 我會更 加深入 地 研究女 性藝術 ,這 也正是 我的創 作道路上一個新的突 破和轉 捩點。

To a non-painter, painting is uninteresting and fairly unpleasant. To a painter, it is the life bloodÿa substance so utterly entrancing, infuriating and ravishingly beautiful that it makes it worthwhile to go back into the studio every morning, year after year, for an entire lifetime. To me, painting is my love and devotion since I was very young. It has grown to become part of me. I am not convinced that the art of painting has seen its days. That is the reason why I am still searching to see if there might be something we have missed which might bring painting back to its former glory.

"Getting Lost" is the title of a series of ceramic works in the form of the maze. The works are designed to be interactive and encourage the viewer to engage with the playful nature of each object. The contemporary world is exposed as a construct of our own making, over-saturated visually and informatively, where directions disappear from view even though they may be shown by arrows, or pointed by “leaders”ÿ- and where a fear of getting lost and a fear of emptiness seems more prevalent than ever.

Human beings experience a sense of anxiety when they feel lost and seldom notice and believe that they can have fun in the circumstances of getting lost and always have choices to escape.

I chose the structure of the maze to embed my passion for the concept of "getting lost" combined with the confusing feelings of living in a city and the happiness experienced in searching for an exit. Also, the mazes relate to children’s gamesÿ the noughts and crosses format to emphasize the meaningless nature of the game. The maze is a complex structure of dead ends and blind passages, an environment in which one can easily become confused or lost. It is most frequently used as a metaphor, a reference to a difficult, unclear and confusing situation. The relationship of a person to a maze is an unpredictable event. Once the game starts, it can be causal or close, simple or involved, subtle or blunt. It can be painful or pleasant. Most of all it can be funny and confusing. My mazes are toys for us to store in our unclear mind and confused condition.

The stoneware mazes are extremely fragileÿ with complicated structures often attached by nothing more than a slip, driving the bead on a track toward an exit. It is a metaphor for the extreme fragility of humanity as a whole 一 which is the essence of humanity - as well as that of the individual human being. If control is lost, even for a moment, disruption and collapse will inevitably follow.

098 I 099


Our life is as fragile as my stoneware mazes.

My mazes offer us an alternativeÿa world where either staying or leaving is a preferable option, where the pain of getting lost is as relevant as the happiness of having direction, and where staying on track is as important as a bold adventure. My relationship to a maze has a special philosophyÿ there is a possibility to break the restrictions and get out of the sense of being hopelessly lost. Assuming the role of a child I anticipate being fully emerged, well exercised, nurtured and stronger when I walk through all the paths and face the dead ends of maze.

Getting lost in a maze as well as wandering in a city, walking around skyscrapers, going through tunnels, climbing up stairs, and making decisions of my own direction and destinations gives me great pleasure. I would like to use my "maze" art pieces to remind the viewers that there is much simple pleasure in our lives and invite them to exercise their child's mind to enjoy it.

This is the soil from which all of my work grows. 迷失 一 組令人 「迷 失」 的藝 術品帶 你進入 迷失的 國度。在時間 和空間 綑綁的 現 實世界 、在方向與目 標含糊 的時空 ,人 往往感到迷 失以致 孤立。

有 時候越 想尋找越恐懼 ,選擇 越多便 越迷失 。要 不然 ,享 受這刻 迷失樂 趣又 如何。 作品在 「井」 字遊戲 的意念 下完成。對你而言 ,是有 趣無比 ,還 是無聊 的 孩童玩 意呢?

迷宮 這裡的 困難、不明朗 、困擾 ,好比 人生的 困惑與 迷失。 迷宮 是困惑的符號 ,在 選擇、 取捨出 路時印 證了。 人 的出生 進入了 玩迷宮 的遊? ,時而 輕鬆時 而緊湊 ,在 有趣困 惑之間 游走。

脆弱 的迷宮 •脆弱 的人生 •身 為玩家 的你, 一刻的 分神都會製造 遺憾。

這裡沒 有規限 的迷宮 ,讓 你打 破不少 枷鎖。 迷失在 這裡,感受漫步城市 、攀 登大廈 、穿越隧道 •在 旋轉的梯間 徘徊。 無 窮的樂 趣就在 尋找標 竿過程 。在失 落中享 受迷失 從享 受得到 樂趣。 1

Fear is an unpleasant feeling of extreme dislike of some conditions or objects and it varies from one person to another in different degrees and at different levels. Its complexity in expression cannot be underestimated. The mild stage of fear stems from a distrust in an object or a person, which is rather like caution than fear, and we need to exercise a lot of guessing and testing to the other person or object so as to avoid being mistreated, betrayed or hurt. Fearing of objects or contexts can also be learnt by experience. If someone has gone through an intense fear-causing situation, such as a child’s fear of a stray dog, the emotion can lead the person to social problems such as acting irrationally or dangerously, resulting in hurting oneself or others.

Hong Kong has undergone some difficult challenges over the past few years, ranging from political disputes to economic downturn, to the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) outbreak, to the threat of avian flu, to pollution, and the list still goes on. Some of these challenges have never been experienced by this generation before, or even the generations before that. The compound effect, unfortunately, was a deep distrust spreading far and wide amongst the general public towards the government and the distrust was gradually taking root. No matter how Hong Kong people perceived these issues and threatsÿdamages were done and the locals’ daily lives were affected. Hong Kong people have never been so unsettled before, and the fear was so overpowering that one must have it released in some way, in their own different ways. The level of fear and the way it was expressed was what really sparks this project.

Rather than disturbing the viewers, the images I painted under the chosen topic are expressive. They are divided into four series of works which represent different stages of my study of the subject, that is from the ‘mask’ stage to the ‘skeleton’ stage. Applications of these works are a combination of classical and abstract portraits. And together with the use of collage of human faces, the violent and heavy brush marks, these are all employed and adapted to strike the viewers’ eyes and ultimately their feelings.

Identity

變幻

Through our life journey we build up and accumulate memories as we move along. We store them, keep them deeply inside us, although we do not realise how much they influence the development of our own identities.

我 們的生 命旅程 ,讓我 們在不 斷遷徙過程中 ,積 聚了點 滴回憶 ,我們 把回憶 深深存 在心底 ,沒 有意識 到這些 回憶對 我們的 影響。

Coat hangers are a metaphor for the emotions and experiences of this journey. They remind us about our daily life, travel, history, events, and dreams. Their accumulation traces the path of our journey, and helps to construct our identity.

As a French artist living in Asia for the last 13 years, my surroundings have had a profound effect on my life and my understanding of the world. As I adapted progressively to this new environment I felt my own identity evolving in parallel.

This project is not about searching for identity, but rather to explore how our life experiences influence its development. We all feel a strong sense of uncertainty about who and what we are and how we fit in this world. We accept the fact that the environment and the society we live in have a major impact on the development of our life, but how much can new experiences transform our identity? It is our big question mark.

在這次 旅程中 ,衣架 比喻人 的情緒 和經驗 。它們 使我們 想起了 我們的 生活 ,旅程 ,歷史 ,事件 和夢想 。它 們積聚在我們 旅程中 ,也 幫我們 構築了 自身。 作為一個 在亞洲 居住了 十三年 的法國 藝術家 ,周 圍的事 物對我 的人生 和我的 世界觀 有著極 為深刻 的影響 。隨著 越來越 適應新 的環境 ,我覺 得我 自身也 在變化 當中。 這個作品不 是關於 如何尋 找自己 ,而 是讓我 們思考 一個人 所處的 環境對 自 身生活 ,經歷 的影響 。我 們都 有一種 很強烈 的感覺 ,那 就是對 自身的 不 確定性:我們 是誰? 我們 在做些 什麼? 我 們自己 在這個 世界的 位置又 是 什麼?在 生活中,我 們接受 了這個 事實: 社會和 環境的 改變對 我們生 活有著 巨大的 影響, 但是又 有多少 經歷會 讓我們 再次改 變呢?這 是我們 腦海 中的大 問號。

Deja vu

壓憶

When you see familiar objects, but you don’t remember where are they from? Could you be wrong?

當你看 到似曾相識的 事物, 但又想 不起它 的由來 ,莫 非出了 毛病?

Ever had a conversation that you realize you’ve had before? Isn’t it strange? Has someone ever talked to you, and you feel you know what’s coming next? Because you know that you’ve heard it before, and you feel that this moment in time is surreal. Can you be sure? ‘Que sera sera’ - the little baby lying in the crib looking upon an overhead musical mobile wondering whatever will be, will be. At the instance of blinking, memory flashes back, the personality evolves.

The musical mobile is simply a reflection of our childhood and suppressed memories or experience we dare fantasize or dare not touch. Scattered imageries like homage to family values, socio-cultural impacts, nightmares, moral values, self-identity, evaluation, personal struggle, self-assertion and admiration embodies through juxtaposition of various collective images in a spatial environment with stark contrast and reproduced light and shade are recurring in our life cycle, a reminiscence of the spinning musical mobile. In my old days, the graphic chops imprinted self-value. Its influence may not be as visible as its visualization, but it has established my ways of thinking and seeing. I believe in exploring the hidden unconscious world and uncovering our repressed instincts. My project intends to unleash the irrational uncontrolled thoughts that underpinned human existence. “Deja vu” takes on a more personal approach on the development of my self-ego in relation and response to an external social environment and childhood experience. While I try to explore more about my in-depth reflections and feelings of my childhood experiences, the impact of moral values on and its interaction with personal development is also a major subject of concern.

The research work is the continuation of the exploration of blood relationships and my personal expression. This is an attempt to analyze and study the connection between one artwork to another. The collection of found objects and images will be presented in various ways and in different applications and contexts. Through various kinds of symbolic objects triggers the reallocation of a fragment from one’s past.

某些反 覆的對 話常浮 現腦海 ,曾否讓 你感到 驚訝? 或與人 交談時,彷 彿你已 洞悉將 會發生 的一切 ,在這超乎 現實的 一刻, 有 否產生 疑寶? 還能清晰想起 兒時對未來的憧憬。 孩童安 躺在嬰 兒床上 ,目 不轉 晴地凝 視著床 端的旋 轉玩具 ,隨著 音樂轉 出一 幕幕童 年片段 。無 數零星 分散的 影像聚 合閱明 著家庭 觀念、 社會文 化 的沖擊 、夢魘 、道 德觀念 、個 人價值 觀的反 思及不 斷的堅 持掙扎 ,同 時 透過光 與影在 影像空 間循環 再生。

童年時 ,習作 上每一 個蓋章 都標籤 著成年 人對我 的評價 。它 的影響或許 不若 它的形 象般明 顯可見 ,但 它卻建 立起我 的個人 獨特思 維方式 。我深 信 藉著發 掘個人 隱藏的 潛在國 度及揭 露我們 被壓抑 的本能,可鬆 綁不理 性和不 受控制 的思想 ,來 加固人 的存在 意義。 以我 個人的 取向, 分析外 在的社 會條件 及童年 經歷如 何影響 「自 我」 的 發展 。除 了發掘 童年經 歷的深 層反射 及感覺 ,童年 經歷與 人格成 長的互 動及道 德價值的影響 ,亦 是我 關注的 要點。 這組作 品延績 了我以 往作品 中發掘 血緣關 係和個 人內在 的表達 ,亦試 圖分析 不同時 期作品 的連繫 ,同一 系列的 作品以 不同的 方式及 於不同 情境 ,利用 不同媒 體表現 於人前 。不 同的藝 術作品 ,實 質是我 們致力 重 組著過 去零碎 片段的 印記。
