I’m very grateful to be featured on Hong Kong Newspaper/magazine 信報

Talked a lot about part of my journey as an artist/ creator. At the same time how things change and how do I balance myself through such.

I think being an artist is to believe and be honest to yourself/ your soul.
Everything will bring you to where you want to be.

感謝信報近日的專訪,
分享了很多有關於一路以來創作的經歷或是面對自己的身份
創作的路上是不容易,或許有很多時候也是自己面對。但我諗這樣想要去透過創作去跟不同人和時間聯繫上的感覺是我覺得生而為人才有的感知/感悟。
而且不是所有的經歷/感覺/思想也能用文字所翻譯/傳達出來。但人的感覺是能夠穿過時間空間,也不需要直線行走的東西。也許你有能力透過畫面或不同的感官/ 感悟聯繫到數百/千年(or others) 前的感覺。而當人看到畫面或文字時 觀看到一部分的自己時,是很令我感動的連繫點,或是我相信這個世界需要這樣的連繫,讓人看到自己或更多

這樣繼續做我很開心🐈

Thanks for reading my murmur and thanks so much for MIU from 信報having such amazing interview with me and expressing in your own words! 🤍


Love 💫🤍

💫繪畫的本體本來就沒有得到回應的渴望。但相信被吸引的觀看者在我的繪畫語言裏找到凝視自己的感覺,也是在孤獨的空間才能衍生的狀態。

💫對我而言孤獨是一種痛苦的享受,也是奢侈的。不能選擇也不會逃避,我相信孤獨的過程是為了之後跟世界更大的連繫。
生活中我大部份時間都是獨處,可以冥想,走到自然環境,有時會放很大聲的音樂,看書或是看街上的貓。

It’s a process of seeking pleasure from pain.

Posted • 【ART&CULTURE】如果孤獨係一場修煉,對於藝術家而言,呢一場修煉過程,亦係讓作品靜靜發酵嘅空間。呢次 BBOLD 邀請咗《孤獨的優雅》聯展嘅七位藝術家,簡介作品概念,分享佢哋點樣與同孤獨共處......

《孤獨的優雅》展覽策展人林靖風( )選用佢個人詩集《人與人之常情》:「人們微笑著讓痛苦成為自己跌宕起伏的呼吸。」為今次展覽嘅點題句。喺佢筆下小說入面嘅角色都係孤獨,佢哋為咗別人而選擇獨處;為咗自己而孤獨,先係一種優雅嘅行為。

“Medusa has always already been q***r, like literature. Q***r is a torsion, a twist. Well, Medusa’s emblem, her hair, is a tuft of twists. The twisting is her signature: it’s about producing twists, about not going in a straight line.”
-“The Laugh of the Medusa”(Cixous, 1975)

“Dark is dangerous. You can’t see anything in the dark, you’re afraid. Don’t move, you might fall. Most of all, don’t go into the forest. And so we have internalized this horror of the dark.”
-“The Laugh of the Medusa”(Cixous, 1975) trans. Keith Cohen and Paula Cohen, 877-878 (1976)

「孤獨的優雅」集結十二位香港藝術家:門小雷、李思汝、b.wing、鄺詠君、廖紫婷、李穎芝、陳樂珩、麥穎森、陳海欣、梁佩兒、李欣儀及吳瀞涓,以風景、建築物、抽象與人像的作品,引領觀賞者經歷一段從家中走到街上的日常行程。透過每一個等待的空間,呈現一種只屬於獨處時的優雅。此展覽為策展人林靖風的藝術項目《孤獨三部曲》的終章,以其剖析孤獨與荒謬主義哲學於現今社會的影響。

人們從來掙扎於控制與被控制之間,人生的意義就是在其中取得平衡。假若我們出生於一個可以自給自足的管道裡,終日徘徊在擁有不同情景的房間——人又會否可以從孤獨的空間內得到救贖?沒有了他人的存在,我們只剩下自己與自己對話的可能。

人的存在就如走廊裡的優雅擺設。房間都蘊涵著人們偶爾會想起的回憶,走廊則只是一個讓人們遺忘的管道。我們逗留在房間的原因,只是為著避開走廊的凝視。人們從思想裡得到自由,也被思想所捆綁著。只有經歷過熱鬧的人,才會認為孤獨是寂寞的。一直生活在孤獨之中的人,寂寞就會像呼吸一樣平常。

人類從來都是叛逆的,活著的意義或許就是為著反抗。在孤獨的空間內,藝術是一種優雅的反抗;於寂靜的空白畫布上,留下了貼 近生命本質的混沌筆跡。絕望以後的希望才是真正的希望,人們微笑著讓痛苦成為自己跌宕起伏的呼吸。

——

這是一個如夢似幻的房間,一間真正的精神之屋,
房間裡氣氛凝滯,帶有一點淺淺的玫瑰色和藍色。
靈魂在此懶懶地沐浴,塗抹著悔恨和欲望的馨香——
那是暮色中的某種東西,淡藍的、暗紅的;
一如朦朧之中的快樂之夢。

《雙重的房間》夏爾.皮耶.波特萊爾
