The theme of The Bird Catchers sets on the hunting of birds due to predator's fascination for the beauties and freedom represented by these flying friends. The human hunting for birds and birds hunting for their own kinds are embodied as a metaphor for Eunice Cheung to criticize the selfish and unlimited desire and greed. In aid with the meticulously drawn details and generous palette, Eunice dedicated her genuine observations of birds into her paintings. What differentiates her art practice from ancient royal painters is the seamless blend of surrealistic connotations into her seemingly poetic paintings. The peaceful and calmed composition of Eunice's works is often filled with an indistinct sense of uncertainty.

Sotheby’s Hong Kong is proud to present The Spirit of Ink: 12 Hong Kong Artists, a group exhibition that offers the forward thinking viewpoints on ink art through the creativity of young artists based in Hong Kong: Halley CHENG, CHEUNG Wai Man Eunice, CHOI Yuk Kuen Bouie, KOON Wai Bong, KWOK Ying, KWONG Wing Kwan, LEE Chin Fai Danny, LEUNG Ka Yin Joey, SU Sai Kee Angela, WAI Pong Yu, WONG Yee Ki, and WONG Chung Yu.
As a city that embraces foreign ideas and cultures, Hong Kong offers the ideal platform for the most avant-garde experimentations. Since the mid-20th Century, Hong Kong artists have been in the forefront of contemporary Chinese art. Imbedded within a colonial framework is a unique cultural and aesthetic value rich in tradition and repertoire making Hong Kong one of the most dynamic regions of modern and contemporary Chinese art. The selected artists in the present exhibition belong to a generation raised in a culturally pluralistic society. They have been witnesses to the rapid transformations in the ever-changing Hong Kong landscape. The works in this exhibition focus on the artists’ perspectives on the relationship between ink art and local cultural phenomena. Some evoke nostalgia for the past, while others approach their subject matter with a sense of humor and a realm of their personal imagination. Their perspectives are varied yet there is a bond shared through the tradition of ink art. This fresh approach to medium and form, from paintings, sculptures, photography to video installation, offers a spirit that exemplifies a new identity of Hong Kong.

Nicole Schoeni invited Eric Leung, one of the most acclaimed local art curators, to showcase the local art scene as a whole, and to select a representative group of artists who illustrate the culture and specificities of Hong Kong. Eric chose among the already established starling local talents and the emerging artists. What they have in common is that they all grew up in Hong Kong and graduated from local colleges and universities. Most of them are also engaged with the community and have collaborated to or created public art projects. For the majority of them, the focus of their works illustrate concerns for the density of the population, exhaustion of natural resources and destruction of the environment and the disconnect human beings suffer from, both with Nature and among themselves.

One of the leading woman ink painters, Eunice Wai-man Cheung is the latest proponent in the gongbi fine brush painting tradition. Meticulously drawn and precisely painted, Cheung's painting captivates the audience with its fine craftsmanship and clever exploration in the bourgeoisie experiences in Hong Kong . The life of this metropolis is, however, captured under the most surrealistic light. Instead of white collar workers or city slickers, penguins, zebra, elephants are central characters that frequent street corners, grocery shops or waiting at bus stops. No longer have zoo captives, these animals occupied this city and their narratives are interesting and equally captivating.
The natural environment and its inhabitants have always been the central theme of Cheung's works. She has produced series of paintings that concern environmental and animal protections. In this newest collection, animals are used to perform human activities and they possess expressions that are ironic and cynical. The artist believes that our environment and its inhabitants are under serious threat. In order to bring attention to the pertinent issues, she uses her painting as a silent protest to various human actions. The combination of animal behaviors and human expressions creates provocative metaphors that at first glance appear humorous but are in fact subtly subversive. Aside from the surrealistic beauty of her paintings, it is the artist's intention to address her profound and solemn concerns.

Animals in this exhibition discover their individual “rainbow”. They feel delighted, then infatuated, and eventually they cannot let go of this uncontrollable desire for this beautiful but illusory “rainbow”. At the end what has left are just confusion and lament.
Moon and rainbow appear in the same misty night, dreamy and delusive. There are stories about crushing, obsession, irrationality and lost.
展覽作品中的動物們各自發現牠們的彩虹，繼而迷戀，再鍥而不捨地追求，換來的卻是迷茫和感嘆。
月亮和彩虹，看似來自日與夜，同時出現在迷濛的晚上，浮光掠影，撲溯而迷離。
這是一個個關於遇見、沉溺、不理性和迷失的故事。

中大藝術 - 研究生畢業展《給我一杯水》

Eunice Cheung would like to share her feelings about animals in news headlines through Chinese gongbi (fine-brush) Painting. For instance, there was a heart-tugging scene borne by a chance encounter in the charred landscape of Australia's deadly wildfires: a koala sipping water from a bottle offered by a firefighter. "It was amazing; he turned around, sat on his bum and sort of looked at me... like, put me out of my misery."
張惠文的《給我一杯水》以中國工筆繪畫道出新聞故事中小動物的處境，探討動物和人類的相處關係。例如澳洲森林大火中消防員為倖存的樹熊送上窩心的涼水，"牠看著我，樣子像是說 : 我跑不動了，我很痛，幫幫我吧。" Venue 地點 3/F, Cheng Ming Building, New Asia College, CUHK 中大新亞書院誠明館三樓 Dates 日期 2010.05.29 - 2010.07.11 Mon-Sun 10:00am - 5:00pm *Closed on public holidays 星期一至日 上午10:00至下午5:00 公眾假期閉館 |
