速寫下的香港 | Sketching Hong Kong

速寫有如「即興創作」。畫家透過觀察生活，在短時間內以簡練線條概括寫生的對象。這些稍瞬而生的作品最能反映畫家純熟的技巧及即時的創造力。

Sketching is a drawing method and is similar to improvisation in the performing arts. A painter needs to grasp the key feature of the subject within a short time and renders it in a simplified manner.

由一新美術館與香港美協聯合舉辦、《藝術香港》協辦的《一新時光：香港速寫》展覽，將於2020年6月12日至8月22日於一新美術館舉行，這展覽雲集天池、王秋童、林天行、侯紹政、韋勁敏、益行、陳鏗及趙志軍等40位香港畫家，展出約120幅他們的速寫作品。

“Instant Reflection: Hong Kong Artists and Sketches”, an exhibition jointly organised by Sun Museum and Xiang Gang Mei Xie in collaboration with Hong Kong Art, will be held from 12 June to 22 August 2020 at Sun Museum. The exhibition features around 120 sketches by 40 Hong Kong artists, including Tien Chi, Wong Chau Tung, Lam Tian Xing, Hau Siu Ching, Wai King Man, Yick Hang, Chen Keng and Zhao Zhijun.

一些作品描繪香港地道風光，例如王秋童的《香江華彩》都市系列，以水墨把車水馬龍的街道及摩天大廈攝入畫中，盡現國際都市的繁華景象。至於另一位畫家天池的《香港紀遊》系列，則運用乾筆濃墨速寫香港山水，配上黃賓虹的詩詞，記錄了港九新界的遊歷。韋勁敏的《大澳漁村》及《靜泊》卻以鋼筆描繪水上棚屋及船隻，呈現香港的漁村風貌。

Some of the pieces in the exhibition feature authentic landscapes of Hong Kong. For example, a series of sketches titled “Glamorous Hong Kong” by Wong Chau Tung depicts bustling streets and skyscrapers in Hong Kong with ink wash, recreating the urban buzz of this international city. Another sketch series, “Scenery of Hong Kong” by Tien Chi, is paired with poems by Huang Binhong. It depicts Hong Kong’s natural landscapes as seen by the painter on trips around Hong Kong, employing dry strokes and heavy ink. “Fishing Village in Tai O” and “Drifting” by Wai King Man capture the essence of Tai O through the stilt houses and fishing boats rendered with fountain pen.

在展覽中，也有作品是反映社會生活的。林小枝的《測温》、侯紹政的《人物動態速寫》，以及益行的《靜候綠燈》都畫上戴上口罩的市民，他們在商店或餐廳前等待體温檢測，或帶上大包小包匆匆回港，或在鬧市等待橫過馬路，全都記錄着香港人在疫情下的生活。

Other works in the exhibition reflect community life in Hong Kong. People wearing masks are the subject in Lam Shiu Chi’s “Temperature Check”, Hau Siu Ching’s “Figure in Motion”, and Yick Hang’s “Waiting for the Green Traffic Light Signal”. They all record the life of Hong Kong people during the coronavirus pandemic, whether taking temperature check before entering a shop or restaurant, returning to Hong Kong from overseas, or waiting to cross a busy road.

因應香港政府有關新型冠狀病毒的最新規例，美術館展覽將暫停開放至8月4日（星期二），減少公眾社交接觸。展覽《一新時光：香港速寫》將延長至8月29日（星期六）結束。

To align with the Hong Kong Government’s latest measures to achieve social distancing due to the coronavirus outbreak, the Museum will be closed to the public until 4 August 2020 (Tuesday). The exhibition “Instant Reflection: Hong Kong Artist and Sketches” will be extended until 29 August (Saturday).
