何謂好的藝術？何謂好的藝術發展的面向？就對於藝術的品評和香港藝術發展的憧憬，均是惹來不少爭議性的話題。
What is the definition of good art? What is the vision of good arts development? The evaluation of arts and the development of arts in Hong Kong are among the most controversial issues.
明畫廊的總監林沙洲自年少已熱衷於藝術，在16歲便入行在藝術圈長大，希望把世上最好的藝術帶給香港的大眾。他對不同年代藝術品的價值和香港的藝術發展都有細膩、獨到的見解。對他而言，好的藝術會帶給觀眾震撼的感覺，以及心靈上的愉悅和享受。而每個年代都有其傑出的作品。
Sage Lam, the gallery director of Illuminati Fine Art has been interested in art since his youth. He entered the profession at the age of 16, hoping to bring the best art in the world to the public in Hong Kong. He has an exquisite and unique understanding of the values of artworks of different ages and the development of arts in Hong Kong. He believes that the finest art will catch your breath with a sense of spiritual pleasure and enjoyment. And each generation has its own masterpieces.
然而，香港面臨嚴峻的藝術教育問題，令普羅大眾缺乏藝術的觀念和重視。他既為一個收藏家，會藉着收藏為當代藝術家直接地提供金錢上支援。而他在短短數年之間所創立的明畫廊，亦一直致力於策劃具前瞻性、啟發性展覽，向亞洲和國際推廣中國當代藝術及新水墨藝術。畫廊作為一個藝術交流的平台，既促進國際藝術界之間的聯繫，亦能灌輸美術教育的理念給年輕一代，為香港藝術教育帶來生機。
However, the severe inadequacy of art education in Hong Kong has made the general public lack of awareness and attention to art. As a collector, he provides direct financial support to contemporary artists through his collections. Illuminati Fine Art, which he founded in just a few years, has been dedicated to organise profound and inspirational exhibitions, with the aim of promoting Asia Contemporary Art and New Ink Art. As a global exchange platform, the gallery stimulates cultural engagement by advocating a cross-cultural art exchange It inculcates the concept of art education to the younger generation by providing them chances to appreciate art.
