About This Workshop
Influenced by the modern ink master Lui Shou Kwan, Irene Chou incorporated Western Abstract Expressionism in her ink paintings. She liked to experiment on various techniques. By referencing lines in Chinese ink painting and calligraphy, Chou pursues philosophy and artistic conception in her paintings. The lines not only produce rhythm and movement, but also reflect the inner-self of Chou. In this workshop, the instructor will teach to explore one’s emotion, then using various style of lines to express them on rice paper.

關於工作坊
周綠雲銳意求新，受當時現代水墨大師呂壽琨影響尤甚，畫風中滲入了西方的抽象表現主義的痕跡。她亦喜歡嘗試不同畫法，參照古代書法的線條與結構來追尋哲學和意境。線條不但產生節奏感和律動感，以反映了周綠雲幽秘玄妙的內觀世界。在這次的工作坊，導師會教授如何用以探索自身情感，用上不同的線條在宣紙上以中國水墨畫的風格表達出來。
