寫生  ／ 張偉樂

本展覽的作品創作於2012至2015年，以描述對香港的觀察和感覺作為創作動機及主題，特別就城市的空間感覺作回應和記錄。現在三組作品一併，發覺原來不知不覺間，我已把我的生命寫進當中。

作品都與城市的牆有關。《格線上的樹影》（2012-13）是關於人工化了的自然，樹影投落在冷漠呆板的牆身上，像一張張城市規劃藍圖；《建樹》（2014）是對城市發展和自然關係的觀察，利用黑白攝影的真實與虛幻，指出發展與自然關係論述當中的自欺欺人。最後的《洞》（2015）則是近期的一輯相片，喻示最終能夠於這鬱悶的城市當中，打開一道出口。

今天重新回顧這些作品，已有不同體會。我發現《樹影》是我患焦慮症時期的創作，焦慮的主要是對幽閉空間的恐懼，害怕身處自己認為不能離開的地方。《建樹》是我情緒再沒起伏、淡淡如水的階段；而《洞》則反映出我今年希望找到轉變的出路這階段，作品當中的出口像是為自己而打開。

展覽除相片之外，我也嘗試以不同的呈現方式，去展示出我重新審視作品時所獲得的領悟和感想。

工作坊 ｜ 城市科幻圖鑑 – 尋找城市中的超現實

城市於張偉樂，既是藩籬，亦蘊藏著無限可能性。在城市規劃及建設的過程中，往往非人性化的怪異景象叢生。他將帶領本工作坊參加者，利用色溫調控的方法，觀察並捕捉城市超現實的一面，從而創作出一組「城市科幻圖鑑」；與此同時亦嘗試引領大家以「星空旅人」的角度思考：城市是如何被建構而成的？
學員須自備能拍攝RAW檔案的相機，備有腳架更佳。

Still life  /  Cheung Wai Lok

Created from 2012 to 2015, the artworks in this exhibition depict and centre around my observations and feelings of Hong Kong, especially in terms of documenting and responding to feelings about space in the city. Now that I examine the three series of works put together, it dawns on me that my life has already been unconsciously documented in them.

The works on display are related to the walls in the city. Tree Shadows on the Gridlines (2012-2013) is about man-made nature, with shadows of trees being cast on cold, nonchalant walls, which resemble blueprints of a city; Constructed Trees (2014) is an observation of the relationship between city development and nature. Using the real and illusion created in black and white photography, the work points out the self-deception in narratives about the relationship between development and nature. The last series of works Hole (2015), which consists of photographs taken recently, is an allegory of eventually opening up an avenue in a city that has lots of pent-up emotions.

I have different thoughts and feelings looking back on these works today. I realize Tree Shadows on the Gridlines was created at the time when I suffered from anxiety disorder, which was mainly a result of claustrophobia — a fear of being confined in a place that I don’t think I can get away from. Constructed Trees represents the stage in which I was calm and at peace with no more fluctuations in my emotions. And Holes reveals the stage where I hope to look for a change, an exit — and it seems the one shown in the work is opened up for myself.

In addition to the photographs, I also attempt to employ various methods to express my reflections and thoughts from revisiting the works in this exhibition.

SITUATE / 19 July to 1 August 2015

The theme of Alex's work has always been focusing on the relationship between Hong Kong and the people who live there.  During his two-week stay in Melbourne, he will explore the similarity and difference between the city of Melbourne and Hong Kong in terms of their natural environment and people.  Also, he will work on sketches and drawings which will be further developed into a series of paintings when he returns to Hong Kong.

This residency has been supported by the Hong Kong Art School.

RMIT:ART:INTERSECT is managed by RMIT University School of Art.

A/AN “ “, Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduation Show 2015 featured art works of 36 graduating students. This course is co-presented by the RMIT University and the Hong Kong Art School. Students majored in painting, photography and sculpture present the works resulted of their artistic theory and understanding of art from the three years of researches and studies. 

The exhibition is named A/AN “ “, without an absolute statement. The blank subject envisages free imagination and conversation between the artists and visitors. It invites everyone to explore their own definition of “ “, regardless of their knowledge and background, but with the sole reference to mutual exchange. It opens up amazing conversations and lights the life of the artworks. 

A/AN " " suggests a quantifier and a quantity but leaves the subject missing. An incomplete state projects infinite possibilities, liberating the meaning in the most subtle manner. It ignites people's minds, engages their interest, and creates wonderful connections towards the varied and satisfying emotional and intellectual experiences. 

“In the state of Art requires no absolute“, diversified works from 36 graduates with infinite elaborations are the best footnotes. In three years of study arts, graduating students' passion in art was challenged and have developed their own creative skills and established their unique artistic proposition upon plenty of trials and experiments.This exhibition is both a starting and a finishing line of their life in art.

是此展覽為陳偉邦策劃的「繪畫大道中」第六次聯展，多名本地藝術家嘗試利用繪畫對「罪」(Sins)這個議題作出探討。

人類自古典時代，一直有犯罪及贖罪的觀念，基督宗教有「原罪」，佛家亦有 「業報」 及「輪迴」等思想。在藝術創作上，文藝復興的米高安哲奴有《最後審判》壁畫深入民心；文學上如中國傳統小說《水滸傳》、俄國杜斯妥也夫斯基的《罪與罰》，到近代如日本村上春樹的《1Q84》；及外國電影如《發條橙》、《七宗罪》、近來的《出埃及記》及本土電影如《無間道》、《黄金時代》等，都對 「罪」有獨到見解和演譯。

但時至今日，在現實世界中，罪惡(Sins)的觀念不斷被媒體淡化、邊緣化及扭曲化，「罪」 已進化(evolve) 為不同層面的隱閉符號，或轉化(transform)成為日常生活的 「正常運作下必有的副產品/替代品(supplement)」。究竟 「罪」的意識在當代社會中仍否「存在」？或者其實一早已被忘記，消失得無影無踪？


The exhibition is the sixth joint painting exhibition organized by Clement Chan on behalf of ‘Painting On and On’, in which the issue of ‘sin’ is explored and discussed by a group of local artists.

The concept of sin and atonement has long been rooted as human nature. ‘Sin’ in Christian doctrine, and ‘karma’ and ‘reincarnation’ in ancient Buddhism appears as spiritual beliefs in both Western and Chinese culture since the classical era. Renaissance art such as Michelangelo’s "The Last Judgement" has caught on to become a classic fresco. Literature such as the traditional Chinese classic "Water Margin", Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" from Russia, and modern classic novels such as Haruki Murakami's "1Q84" from Japan; international classic movies such as "A Clockwork Orange", "Seven", the recent "Exodus" and local movies such as "Infernal Affairs", "The Golden Era" etc., have interpreted the nature of ‘sin’ in various perspectives of uniqueness and peculiarity.

Nevertheless, the concept of ‘sin’ in nowadays world of reality was being diluted, marginalized and distorted, constantly and imperceptibly, by the media. The concept of ‘sin’ has been evolved into implicit symbols in various aspects; or transformed as a byproduct or supplement inevitable in the normal operation of daily lives. Does the ideology of ‘sin’ still exist in the contemporary society? Or has it long been wildered and forgotten?
