OVERVIEW

Opening Reception: October 3rd from 6–8 pm. Artist will be in attendance.

For the past 24 years, Lo Shyh-Charng depicts on one theme only —mountains and water. His painting routine, as he says, is very much like a sword-smith hammering and grinding down a sword.

To common viewers his paintings are thematically similar. Yet each work is as unique as one piece of hand-crafted sword, the end result of long hours of repeated efforts and numerous meditational dialogues amongst the artist, the scenery being captured and the work on the easel.

Lo Shyh-Charng was trained professionally in anthropology and museum studies and such studies have permeated in his works. He spares no effort in displaying on the canvases the intensity of emotions as well as his analytical interpretation of shapes, colours and light.

The title of this exhibition, “In Search of Yi”, on the one hand pays tribute to Lo’s years of untiring devotion to Yishu (art) and on the other hand highlights his expressionistic capturing of Yijing (artistic conception of a scenery) on his paintings.

“IN SEARCH OF YI” exhibition starts from October 3rd until 25th , 2013.

參景尋意 ﹣羅世長 油畫展

２０１３年１０月３日﹣２５日

精藝軒畫廊 香港中環 卑利街５０號地舖

開幕酒會：２０１３年１０月３日（星期四）下午６ ﹣８時
歡迎各界人仕蒞臨 與藝術家交流創作心得

【新聞稿】

過去廿四年，羅世長只專注繪畫有山有水的風景油畫。他的畫畫方式如他自己所言，是每天努力回歸到藝術發生的原點，去凝視自然，聆聽自己，再用簡單的造型與構圖，透過藝術的手法，給予每一張作品最大的深層次意義。

每張畫近乎是他對景參禪的結果。日復一日，他有如一位劍匠一般在鑄劍磨劍，重覆的創作過程成為他的一種行為與精神探索，參出新的藝術境界。

羅世長於一九四五年出生於日本長野，翌年與父母返回台灣新竹居住。他分別在台灣大學及加拿大卑詩省大學取得人類學學士及碩士學位，並在多倫多大學取得博物館學碩士。從一九七九年至一九八九年，他任職多倫多皇家安大略博物館十年。在一九八九年三月，他毅然辭去博物館的工作，專注成為全職藝術家，決定維持至今，沒有動搖。

羅世長的作品著重描繪形、色、光等現代藝術基本元素的相互奧秘關係，再透過藝術家本人的內心情感與外在大自然的感染，沈澱成一種獨特的個人藝術風格。

《參景尋意》展期由１０月３日開始至２５日結束。
