流動風景 — 城市意象』簡介

城市生活比較農村生活多采多姿，在五光十色、繁華富裕的表面背後，卻往往最能反映著人類複雜的情緒和光怪陸離的精神面貌，當中尤其是物質主義和消費主義的氾濫、貧富懸殊和階級矛盾的激化、住屋高昂與人口老化的隱憂、由城市擴張和舊區重建引發的保育與環保議題、由殖民地至中港融合所衍生的文化身份議題------等，種種現象都反映出近年本地的城市生活充滿對比和矛盾，對藝術創作者而言，著實提供了的豐富的主題元素和素材。

為方便展示及觀賞，個人近期嘗試採用系列形式編排作品，作品類型包括綜合速寫、數碼藝術與混合媒介。

Introduction: “Transient Landscape — City Imagery”

Life in the city, when compared with life in the country-side , is richer and more full of vibrancy and colors. Nevertheless, at the back of the noisy affluence, there are always reflected the complicated emotions and mental states of humans.

Among these, the flooding of materialism and consumerism, the widening of the gap between the rich and the poor and the intensification of class conflict, the hidden anxieties related to housing and the ageing population, the issue about conservation and environmental protection that emerged as a result of the expansion of the city and renovation of the old parts of the city, the issue about cultural identity resulting from the integration between Hong Kong and the mainland after the reunification ---all these reflect contrasts and contradiction in local city life during the recent years. To artists these provided potentially rich elements and materials for creative works about various themes.

To enhance better viewing as a whole, I adopt a series approach including drawing, digital art and mixed media.
