奧沙畫廊呈獻石家豪最新作品《試身室》系列。石家豪無疑是香港最負盛名的當(dāng)代藝術(shù)家之一。他以傳統(tǒng)的中國藝術(shù)形式-工筆，探討現(xiàn)今的社會問題。如同其它社會一樣，香港正經(jīng)歷轉(zhuǎn)型的階段，在石家豪最新的《試身室》系列中，他以香港流行文化標(biāo)志延續(xù)對由此而生的身份議題的探索并透過外觀和包裝來反映文化在不同媒體中的轉(zhuǎn)化。香港著名影星周潤發(fā)和張曼玉在這里登場，他們從本地演藝人躍升為好萊塢名流。這要求他們擺脫舊習(xí)、換上新包裝、學(xué)習(xí)陌生的口音來晉身電影世界的國際場景，這為作品加添了另一層意義。即使放下了慣常使用的宣紙和絹，石家豪亦保持一貫細致的表現(xiàn)手法。他以塑膠彩、蠟筆、鉛筆和拼貼呈現(xiàn)了他對衣飾與意識間不同層面的思考。“轉(zhuǎn)化”這一概念在這大社會試身室內(nèi)各式各樣打扮換裝的過程中得到進一步實踐及活化。
石家豪1970年生于香港，以性別、角色扮演、服裝和文化象征等當(dāng)代題材的中國工筆人物畫為人所熟悉。重要展覽包括：澳洲布里斯本昆士蘭美術(shù)館《第三屆亞洲太平洋當(dāng)代藝術(shù)三年展》(1999)，美國加州圣迪戈美術(shù)館《Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia》(2004)，香港藝術(shù)館《新水墨藝術(shù)﹣創(chuàng)造、超越、翱翔》(2008)。2009年1月，他與京都木版雕刻家川昭一北村制作《音樂家庭》，并于新加坡泰勒版畫院展出該套浮世繪風(fēng)格的版畫。

Wilson Shieh: Fitting Room
28.11.2009 – 31.01.2010
Osage Galley is pleased to present Fitting Room, Wilson Shieh’s latest body of work. Shieh is, without doubt, one of Hong Kong’s most established and significant contemporary artists. His works engages with issues pertinent to our contemporary societies. In his Fitting Room series, Shieh extends these concerns through icons of Hong Kong popular culture to explore issues of identity that have risen from the transition of which societies such as Hong Kong are currently undergoing.
Shieh considers clothing as a ‘space of appearance’ in which subjectivity gains presence. The element of the famous Hong Kong stars Chow Yun Fat and Maggie Cheung adds another dimension to this reflection because it introduces their own history of mutation from local performers to Hollywood celebrities. This, too, had required Chow and Cheung to shed old habits and assume new skin, learn a strange accent, and finally come to belong to a global world gathered by the cinema. In this exhibition, Shieh departs from his exceptional use of the Chinese fine brush technique on silk and paper, through he retains its delicate signs. He demonstrates levels of mediation of clothing and consciousness through acrylic, crayon, graphite, and collage of prints. In this variety of media, the idea of transformation is further fleshed out in the process of dressing up, preening in, and getting out of the fitting rooms of society.
Wilson Shieh, born 1970 in Hong Kong, is known for his work in Chinese gongbi style figure painting, with contents of sexuality, role play, costume play and cultural symbols presented in a contemporary approach. Important exhibitions include the Third Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, Australia (1999), Past-in-Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia, San Diego Museum of Art, San Diego, California, USA, (2004) and New Ink Art: Innovationa and Beyond, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong (2008). In January 2009, he collaborated with the Kyoto-based woodblock carver Kitamura Shoichi to produce Music Families, Shieh’s exhibition at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute featuring a set of Ukiyo-e style woodblock prints.
