山外山－杨凯、刘学成 双个展

Lucie Chang Fine Arts 隆重呈献「山外山－杨凯、刘学成」双个展，展出杨凯、刘学成作品，包括当代水墨、雕塑、混合媒介等。

「天外有天，山外有山」，是一种自谦，也是一种慨嘆，慨嘆天地浩瀚，人终其一生无法测度。两位参展艺术家，均曾师承西方艺术教育，后来却回归传统，在当代艺术的语境，流露中国传统艺术的美学和内涵。

杨凯《北海二十四图》系列组画，将水墨、雕塑和空间装置结合，体现盆景的中国传统文化内涵。艺术家先在纸上作水墨画，在圆形亚加力胶片上绘画第二层，再把胶片叠在水墨画上，灯光透过胶片投影的斑驳阴影正是第三层，是艺术家对过去、现在、未来的认识、打破、重塑和创造。

刘学成喜研中国古典文学，并以立体雕塑诉说自己的私密故事。「忽闻海上有仙山，山在虚无缥缈间」，寻寻觅觅，跨越这山望那山，艺术之旅永无穷尽。刘氏以传统水墨以外的媒材重塑山水，经典的木山系列流露他对理想世界的想像，并与不同展场空间互动，诱发种种思考。

Double Vision: Yang Kai and Lau Hok Shing Hanison

Lucie Chang Fine Arts is pleased to present the joint exhibition, ‘Double Vision: Yang Kai and Lau Hok Shing Hanison’, a wonderful visual interplay of ink, sculpture and space installation created by an ink artist and his sculptor-installation contemporary.

The Chinese saying of ‘There are skies above skies, and mountains beyond mountains’ is a statement of modesty as it is of sorrow, proclaiming the vastness of the universe and all its possibilities that our limited minds cannot truly understand. Both trained in western art school, Yang and Lau later returned to their cultural roots and have since been articulating the aesthetics and qualities of traditional Chinese art in the context of contemporary art discourse.

In Yang Kai’s Twenty-four Scenes of Beihai, contemporary ink, sculpture and space installation are mixed to capture the essence of traditional Chinese culture that is encapsulated in the art of bonsai. In creating the scenes, Yang first painted a foundation of ink on paper, to which an overlay of round acrylic plate of ink painting was applied; finally, light was projected onto the composite surface to illuminate the feathered, shaded third layer of images. The work represents a process of breaking, reconstructing and creating anew the understanding that the artist has had of the past, present and future.

A keen lover of Chinese literary classics, Hanison Lau makes 3D narrative sculptures to tell stories of his innermost thoughts. Art is an endless journey and an artist is a lifelong traveller who ascends one summit after the next on an eternal search. In his series of wooden mountain sculptures, Lau created his own Chinese landscape by employing materials in replace of the ancient medium of Chinese ink. Envisioned in the image of his ideal world, the work interacts with its immediate environment to unleash a torrent of contemplative thoughts.
