I am especially drawn to the freehand brushwork of traditional Chinese ink paintings. While I immersed myself into the gorgeous night views of metropolis, the flow of colour and light inspired me.
This painting series show the combination between minimalism and sophisticated, silence and noise, nature and humanity, tradition and modernity. The dynamic and deft brushwork paired with the poetic beauty of the “Void” found in Chinese aesthetics, which created the unique art language.
Born in Yangzhou, a beautiful ancient town with more than 2500-year history. Its luxuriant historical and cultural sedimentation have profoundly influenced me, especially my artworks. My hometown is renowned for many types of traditional Chinese art, and the lacquer painting is one of the most famous, which has more than thousands of years.
I synthesised the traditional technical of lacquer and modern elements of metropolis painted in above paintings, which could make the integration effect of my artworks more dramatic in the next step.
This lacquer painting series used Chinese lacquer as the main material and try to integrate the traditional techniques and modern aesthetics in art creation. I used eggshells to cover the white space that made my artworks rich in natural texture and visual impact. The final works, two lacquer paintings of 1.2*0.9m size, have gone through the brushing, scattering lacquer powder, covering foil powder and polishing over and over again, within one month.
作品簡介：
靈感最初源於香港多元化的文化碰撞，例如傳統漢字與西方字母，油麻地的狹街陋巷與中環的華燈璀璨，所以畫中的夜景選自登上太平山頂後望去的香港城市夜景。這兩幅漆畫作品（尺寸：1.2m*0.9m）中表現的極簡與復雜,靜謐與喧鬧,自然與嚴謹, 讓人感受到傳統與現代的融合乃至彼此的包容。作品中天然蛋殼碎裂的肌理融合中國水墨的“滴”、“掃”，用傳統的漆藝製作工具與手法，例如漆粉、漆皮、錫箔與反复打磨，最終創作出這兩幅漆畫作品。
