In the 1960s, many Hong Kong artists began working against notions of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ in their works. They combined their training in traditional Chinese painting and philosophy, as well as Euro-American inspired artistic expression, to initiate a new visual language of abstraction.
In this evening program, author Mr. Shum Quanan, Ms. Choi Yan-chi, and Dr. Louis Ho will discuss the approaches of Hong Kong avant-garde art artists in the 60s, such as Hon Chi-fun. They will also discuss the emotion and passion, literature, and philosophy in his works, particularly the presence of light in Hon Chi-fun’s art. This talk will be moderated by the writer Tang Siu Wa.
在20世紀60年代,許多香港藝術家開始在作品中顛覆“東方”和“西方”的藝術概念。他們結合中國傳統繪畫及畫法藝術的修養,融和歐美藝術的創作概念,以意想不到的形式和物料法,創造出一種全新的抽象視覺語言。這些作品不僅表現中西文化在香港的融匯交流,還有不同藝術運動和哲學思想的結合和再發展。
這次的晚間座談會中,作家岑崑南(崑南先生),蔡仞姿女土,何建宗博士將討論60年代香港前衛藝術家,包括韓志勳的藝行取向。他們還會從感性,文學和哲學角度,分析“光”在韓志勳的作品中的作用。是次座談會將由作家鄧小樺女士主持。
