藝倡展出六位藝術家的作品，重點放在香港年輕女藝術家。其中包括水墨畫家卓家慧和張小黎；新銳藝術家蟻穎琳和梅傲雪，後者更是首次在商業畫廊展示其豐富多彩的夢幻紙上作品。另外還有兩位藝術家：香港著名雕塑家莫一新和國際雕塑家吳少湘。

Alisan’s exhibition features the works of six artists, with a focus on young Hong Kong women artists. They include ink painters Cherie Cheuk Ka-wai and Zhang Xiaoli; emerging artists Ant Ngai Wing-lam and Charlotte Mui, the latter who will be exhibiting her colourful mythological works on paper for the first time in a commercial gallery. The other two artists are well known Hong Kong sculptor Mok Yat-San and international sculptor Wu Shaoxiang.

這些藝術家都對超現實主義產生濃厚的興趣，並從中吸取靈感，無論是創作理念和完成品，均呈現出猶如夢境的意象以及對潛意識的探索。他們通過當代中國藝術家的眼光，以各自獨特的技巧和媒介來描繪超現實主義。

These artists have been selected specifically because they are inspired and interested in Surrealist ideas and imagery such as, dreamscapes and the exploration of the unconscious mind. Using a contemporary Chinese lens, they will portray surrealism with their individual technique and media.

這六位藝術家展出的作品，分別從以下的西方超現實主義藝術家得到啟發，包括：雷內·馬格利特 (Rene Magritte)、薩爾瓦多·達利 (Salvador Dali)、曼·雷 (Man Ray)、阿爾貝托·賈科梅蒂 (Alberto Giacometti)、喬治·基里科 (Giorgio Chirico)，和瓊·米羅 (Joan Miro)。

The Western surrealist artists they are taking inspiration from Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, Man Ray, Alberto Giacometti, Giorgio Chirico and Joan Miro.

卓家慧 (出生於1989年)
主修工筆畫創作，主題圍繞記憶、時間、自然、宇宙規律、情感與思緒狀態，同時也在思考工筆畫歷經北宋時期的高峰後發展至今，要如何帶着傳統之美進入當代世界。2012年取得香港中文大學文學士一級榮譽學位，主修藝術，2017於同校獲藝術碩士。藝倡畫廊自2015年開始展出她的作品於多個聯展，包括2020 “頌讚香港藝術”、2019首屆台北當代藝術博覽會、 “女性 水墨 | 中國 香港”、2018 “抱負”港安醫院慈善基金慈善展等。

Cherie Cheuk Ka-wai (b.1989)
Specializes in Chinese gongbi (fine-brush) painting. Her subject matters mainly revolve around memory, time, nature, laws of universe, emotions and thoughts. Her artwork also interrogates the development of gongbi after it reached its peak in Song Dynasty, namely how to rejuvenate this traditional Chinese art form in the contemporary world. She obtained a bachelor’s degree of Fine Arts with first class honours at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2012 and she finished her Master Degree in Fine Arts in CUHK in 2017. Alisan Fine Arts began exhibiting her works in 2015 and has included them in a number of exhibitions, such as, Uniquely Hong Kong (2020); the inaugural edition of Taipei Dangdai Contemporary Art Fair (2019) ; Women Ink | China Hong Kong (2019); HOPE, a charity exhibition to benefit the Adventist Hospital Foundation (2018); and many more.

莫一新 (出生於1968年)
1993年畢業於香港中文大學藝術系，2004年獲廣州美術學院雕塑系碩士。2006-2011年為中文大學藝術系高級導師，近年擔任該系兼任講師，並全職從事藝術創作，現為香港雕塑學會會長。莫氏專門創作戶外的大型“山水畫＂水墨藝術作品，常見的主題有北極熊。藝術家受到自然界的啟發，並經常融入傳統水墨畫的元素，例如蝴蝶、鳥、雲、山和樹。莫氏通過當代的演繹手法來表達這些題材，雕塑創作被譽為超現實的3D山水畫。

Mok Yat-san (b. 1968)

Graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1993, and obtained his Master of Fine Arts degree at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 2004. From 2006-2011, he worked as the senior instructor at the Department of Fine Arts, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Recently, he works as a part-time lecturer and a full-time artist devoting himself to his art creation. He is now the president of the Hong Kong Sculpture Society. Mok specialised in creating large-scale outdoor ‘Ink Art’ landscapes and a common motif in his work is a polar bear. He is inspired by nature and often incorporates elements of traditional ink painting, such as butterflies, birds, clouds, mountains and trees. By depicting these forms through contemporary interpretation, his sculptures are transformed into surreal 3-D landscapes.

梅傲雪（出生於1996年）
新銳藝術家，主要從事水彩畫和數碼藝術創作，經常從神話、藝術史、戲劇、流行文化和家庭中汲取靈感，以反映自己的經歷、願景和夢想。梅氏在香港大學修讀英國文學和藝術史，並於2018年獲得文學學士學位。雖然有接受過正規的繪畫訓練，但她一直喜歡繪畫，並從小獲得許多國際和本地獎項。畢業後至今在亞洲藝術文獻庫全職工作。然而，經過十多年的繪畫探索，梅氏目前正在尋找屬於自己的聲音和表達方式。2020年完成創作塔羅牌“ 靈魂之眼”，成為她專門用於占卜的工具。

Charlotte Mui (b.1996)
An emerging artist working mainly in watercolours and digitally, Charlotte Mui’s work often reflects her own experiences, visions, and dreams while drawing inspiration from mythologies, art history, theatre, popular culture and home. While Mui did not receive formal art training and instead, studied English Literature and Art History at the University of Hong Kong, obtaining her BA in 2018, she has always enjoyed painting and as a child has won numerous international and local awards for her works. After graduating, Mui is currently working full time at Asia Art Archive. However, after a decade of painting competitively, Mui is currently searching for her own voice and mode of expression. In 2020, she completed and created her own deck of Tarot cards, ‘L’OEil de L’Âme Tarot’, which she uses exclusively for her fortune-telling endeavours.

蟻穎琳（出生於1986年）
蟻穎琳的主要媒介是繪畫，她的作品經常描寫魚頭的人。這些故事和角色受到她自己的夢想和周圍環境的啟發。她成長於香港長，經常在城市中寫生。2008年畢業於香港浸會大學視覺藝術學院，獲文學學士學位。今次是藝倡畫廊首次與她合作。

Ant Ngai Wing-lam (b.1986)
Ant Ngai Wing-lam’s main medium is painting, and her work often depicts people with the head of a fish. These stories and characters are inspired by her own dreams and surroundings. Having grown up in Hong Kong, her paintings often take place in the landscape of the city. She graduated with a BA from Hong Kong Baptist University Academy of Visual Arts in 2008. This is Alisan Fine Art’s first time working with her.

吳少湘 (出生於1957年)
中國現代抽象雕塑運動的先驅，吳少湘以把西方抽象形式融入自己的創作而聞名。吳氏出生於江西省，文革結束後，於景德鎮陶瓷學院研習雕塑，其後移居北京，並活躍於 “八五新潮”藝術運動，又獲授予首個北京工藝美術獎學金，及完成中央工藝美術學院雕塑系碩士。他的早期作品受西方雕塑風格的影響，尤其鍾情於獲布蘭諾西和亨利摩爾青睞的幾何形狀，吳氏向這兩位雕塑大師的圓形和充滿美感的造形借鏡，令他的作品產生一種性別化的獨特語言，在同輩藝術家中脫穎而出。

Wu Shaoxiang (b.1957)
A pioneer in the modern abstract sculpture movement in China, Wu Shaoxiang is known for spearheading the incorporation of Western abstract forms into his oeuvre. Wu was born in Jiangxi in 1957. Following the Cultural Revolution, he studied sculpture at the Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute and later moved to Beijing where he became actively involved in the ’85 Movement. There he was awarded the first Beijing Art and Design Scholarship and completed a postgraduate degree at the Central Academy of Arts and Design. His earlier works exhibited elements of Western sculptural styles, due in part to his admiration for the geometrical forms favoured by Brancusi and Henry Moore. The round and sensuous shapes lent Wu’s forms a more sexualized language, setting him apart from his more conservative counterparts in China.

張小黎 (出生於1989年貴州)
2008年獲朱林瑤獎學金赴港就讀於香港中文大學，期間曾在美國加州大學柏克利分校作交流生，2014年獲藝術及生物雙學士學位一等榮譽，2021年獲北京中央美術學院碩士學位。她的早期作品以運用工筆畫的傳統技法描繪置於小盒內的超現實山水畫為主，近作則把中國山水畫的傳統元素如山、石、樹等融合生物學、科學，成為連接藝術家的記憶與經歷片段的一扇窗。

Zhang Xiaoli (b. 1989)
Zhang Xiaoli was born in Guizhou China. In 2008, she received a scholarship which allowed her to move to Hong Kong and study at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She also studied as an exchange student at the University of Berkeley in California, before receiving her Bachelor Degree with a double major in Biology and Fine Art from CUHK. She received her MA at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 2021. Her early works depicted surreal Chinese landscapes inside small containers using traditional gongbi ink painting techniques. Her more recent works incorporates her interest in biology and science with traditional elements of Chinese landscapes, such as mountains, rocks and trees. The result allows a window into the artist’s memories and experiences.
