Stephen WONG Chun Hei 黃 進 曦
黃進曦 1986 年出生於香港,畢業自香港中文大學藝術系。以「退步自然」為生活哲學,透過郊遊寫生的方式,藉由實際攀山的過程,描繪出所觀看到的自然景致。每一步的前進,體現了不同視野的景象,每一時刻的前行,堆疊出不同光影變化的色彩。黃進曦的畫作中揉合了自身的想像, 或許也因如此,使他的畫作更具想像空間以及玩味之處。而在其畫作中,彷彿都有條預先安排好的路徑,觀者能夠隨之前行,遊走在畫面之上,如同隨著畫作親身經歷攀山的過程。或許也因為藝術家此種猶如郊遊的過程,能夠更加動人地描繪出心中體驗到的自然景態,帶領觀者進入引人入勝的情景之中。
Born in Hong Kong in 1986, Stephen WONG Chun Hei graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, Chinese University of Hong Kong. Embracing “stepping back to nature” as his philosophy of life, the artist vividly sketched the natural scenery he saw during mountain climbing or excursion. This creative process visualized a riotous profusion of scenes with iridescent colors and ingenious interplay of shadow and light, making itself a journey to be savored each step of the way. The artist tends to blend personal imagination into his paintings, which is probably why his works are so thought-provoking as to have many resonances for the viewers. Besides, each of his paintings seems to map out a path that the viewers may follow and ergo wander in the composition, as if they are personally climbing the mountains in the painting. Perhaps it is such an excursion-like creative process that enables the artist to portray the natural scenery he subjectively experienced in a more appealing manner, therefore leading the viewers into the engrossing landscapes.
