精 藝 軒 畫(huà) 廊
香港中環(huán)嘉咸街35號(hào)地舖
展覽日期：２００７年７月６日至２７日
開(kāi)幕時(shí)間：２００７年７月６日（星期五）下午６時(shí)３０分至８時(shí)３０分
藝術(shù)家將出席開(kāi)幕酒會(huì)
十八年來(lái)，羅世長(zhǎng)一直在寫(xiě)他自學(xué)成材的油畫(huà)作品，一直在寫(xiě)他熟悉的溫哥華山山水水，一直在探索對(duì)這些山水的表現(xiàn)手法。
我們實(shí)在不願(yuàn)類別他的作品為風(fēng)景畫(huà)，相信他自己也不願(yuàn)把作品定性屬這一類。他的作品，題目都是以開(kāi)始創(chuàng)作那張作品的那一天來(lái)定名；他的畫(huà)，沒(méi)有傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)景油畫(huà)的精工細(xì)琢，沒(méi)有印象派的厚色重彩，也不盡是傾訴心中情懷的憑空思憶。色彩淡樸，筆觸輕盈，羅的創(chuàng)作遊走於具象與抽象之間。
他的作品驟眼看來(lái)，輕鬆寫(xiě)意，純靜安逸，接近大自然；但仔細(xì)觀察後，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)畫(huà)面是經(jīng)過(guò)慎密鋪排，才被精練地展現(xiàn)在畫(huà)布上。曾受人類學(xué)及博物館學(xué)的心思細(xì)密訓(xùn)練，羅世長(zhǎng)採(cǎi)用接近卻又不同的色塊去描繪疊疊遠(yuǎn)山，然後再補(bǔ)上樸實(shí)的水天景色，讓這些看似寫(xiě)實(shí)的油畫(huà)水山，引領(lǐng)觀眾進(jìn)入另一個(gè)景界，進(jìn)入了抽象表現(xiàn)藝術(shù)的範(fàn)疇。
羅世長(zhǎng)生於日本，在臺(tái)灣成長(zhǎng)，於臺(tái)灣大學(xué)人類學(xué)畢業(yè)後，再在加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學(xué)人類學(xué)系及多倫多大學(xué)博物館學(xué)系取得碩士學(xué)位，他在多倫多皇家安大略博物館工作十年後，在一九八九年與妻兒移居溫哥華，全情投入藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作。迄今他在加拿大、日本及臺(tái)灣已舉辦過(guò)廿多次個(gè)展。
“天地有情”展覽將在七月六日至廿七日於精藝軒畫(huà)廊展出，有關(guān)畫(huà)展詳情可電郵 dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk 或致電 2522.1138 向Dominic Chan 或 2526.0818 向 Josephine Hau 查詢。

Landscape Forever
Oil paintings of Lo Shyh-charng
Art Beatus Gallery
35-39 Graham Street, Ground floor (near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace), Central, Hong Kong
Exhibition period: July 6 to July 27, 2007
Artist will attend the opening ceremony at 6:30 to 8:30pm on July 6, 2007
Press Release
In most of his paintings, Lo Shyh-charng has successfully imbedded an intrinsic energy that aims to induce the viewers to explore beyond the apparent imageries on the canvases.
The colour fields that vividly replicate the sceneries that Lo wished to depict at some specific moments of time, the way how he applied the subtle and pastel pigments as well as the final presentation of the finished works are actually the real quests for him time after time. His works bear striking similitude to the abstract expressionistic works, especially those of late Mark Rothko.
We name this exhibition Landscape Forever for the reasons that the exhibits were depicting actual locations around Vancouver, and Landscape painting is a convenient starting point for art-lovers to appreciate Lo’s works. The literal quality of the word, Forever, denotes the enjoyment of our gallery in showing these works.
Our gallery has much reservation in classifying most of Lo’s works as landscapes and people who have seen his works tend to agree. Some exhibits are paintings of scenery but most works come closer to abstract, with fields of adjacent colours, and are strongly expressionistic, covered with sensitive brushstrokes of the artist.
Born in Japan, grew up in Taiwan, trained as an anthropologist and museologist in Taiwan and then in Canada, Lo is a self-taught artist. For 18 years, he has been fine-tuning his style full time after quitting his job with the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto in 1989 and moved to Vancouver with his family.
Art Beatus Gallery is located at 35-39 Graham Street, ground floor, Central. For further information about this exhibition or to interview the artist, you can e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk, or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine Hau at 2526-0818.
Gallery Hours: Mon. thr. Sat. 11:30am – 7:30pm, close on Sundays & public holidays
羅世長(zhǎng)自述
山水，也許因?yàn)槟鞘怯洃浥c鄉(xiāng)愁的隱喻，一直是我藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作的主要泉源。
每天不斷的畫(huà)山與水是我透過(guò)自然與自己內(nèi)心的對(duì)話。
由獨(dú)白走向與自然對(duì)話，不但幫助舒發(fā)心底情感，更也開(kāi)啟了內(nèi)心得以撫慰的大門。
我把畫(huà)面簡(jiǎn)化成僅為構(gòu)圖所須的幾個(gè)基本原型，探討自身與所處環(huán)境之間的關(guān)係，
述說(shuō)寧?kù)o、甚至浪漫與寂寥的內(nèi)心世界。
藉著探討內(nèi)在情感與形、色、光等現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)基本元素之間的奧秘關(guān)係，
我那帶有情境、希望、詩(shī)意的藝術(shù)得以逐漸呈現(xiàn)出來(lái)。
也在這一系列的研究過(guò)程中，建立了自己的藝術(shù)風(fēng)格。
畢竟，繪畫(huà)只是藝術(shù)家氣質(zhì)的呈現(xiàn)而已。
