2017年是香港踏入回歸20周年及天趣國(guó)際藝術(shù)進(jìn)入第10個(gè)年頭的歷史性重要時(shí)刻，天趣隆重推出香港著名藝術(shù)家王守清的彩墨藝術(shù)展 -《魅境》於3月10日在香港天趣當(dāng)代藝術(shù)館舉行開幕儀式！本展覽匯集了王守清2015年在俄羅斯秋季游覽莫斯科、圣彼得堡等地域回港後進(jìn)行創(chuàng)作的最新系列。其作品如同田園史詩(shī)般的交響樂，畫面色彩絢麗帶著朦朧；意境悠遠(yuǎn)帶著神秘，充滿了俄羅斯的異域風(fēng)情。

現(xiàn)任中央美術(shù)學(xué)院院長(zhǎng)范迪安就曾評(píng)價(jià)過王守清：「王守清先生畢業(yè)于英國(guó)的藝術(shù)學(xué)府，對(duì)西方現(xiàn)代抽象藝術(shù)深有研究，注重繪畫形式的探索，在抽象的形式結(jié)構(gòu)中融匯中國(guó)藝術(shù)的寫意語(yǔ)言，作品既有強(qiáng)烈的視覺張力，又蘊(yùn)含真切生動(dòng)的生活體驗(yàn)，是一種相容中西、富有文化品質(zhì)的意象形態(tài)?！?/p>

此次展覽將可以看到王守清是一位游離行走在東西文化的香港當(dāng)代藝術(shù)家，他從全球化-地域、觀念-語(yǔ)言、社會(huì)圖景-個(gè)人心性等多個(gè)角度和視角來(lái)剖析實(shí)驗(yàn)水墨的現(xiàn)象和問題，天趣希望通過展現(xiàn)王守清在香港水墨藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域中開放的這朵奇葩，從而表達(dá)他四十年來(lái)默默耕耘、不斷探索多元開創(chuàng)所呈現(xiàn)出當(dāng)代中國(guó)水墨的另一種精神景觀，既是對(duì)水墨藝術(shù)傳承發(fā)展的貢獻(xiàn)，也是在實(shí)踐學(xué)術(shù)成果的推進(jìn)，再者對(duì)香港的文化藝術(shù)建設(shè)和學(xué)術(shù)層面提出了新的課題……

“Phantom Realm” Color Ink by Wong Sau Ching

2017 is a remarkable year in two aspects： the 20th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong to China and the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Art of Nature International. Taken the momentous opportunity， we present to you the Phantom Realm - Color Ink by Wong Sau Ching. This exhibition gathers Wong Sau Ching (Ching) latest creation， after his visit to Moscow and St. Petersburg， Russia during fall 2015. These artworks are orchestra like - visually vivid yet nebulous； conceptually conspicuous yet mysterious.

The President of China Central Academy of Fine Arts， Fan Dian said， “Ching graduated from a Britain art academy with a profound understanding of western abstract arts. Focuses on the exploration of different forms of painting. Integration of Chinese ink painting’s free strokes into the structure of abstract arts. Thus his work is visually powerful and authentic. It is a result of the imagery construct by both the Chinese and Western culture.”

This exhibition of Wong Sau Ching entails his ability of understanding and questioning experimental ink in many aspects： globalization versus regional； perception versus language； society versus intuition. Ching has been working unanimously for over four decades， trying to unravel a different path and a more innovative way to present the new genre of Chinese ink painting through his genius works of art. More importantly， his contribution in ink art has raised new academic propositions as well as arts and culture progression in Hong Kong.
