饒宗頤文化館翻新後在視覺上煥然一新，更為寬敞開揚，為入場人士帶來更佳的參觀體驗。首個新設的展覽「嶺海風韻：饒宗頤與嶺南四君子合作畫」隆重開幕，展出共36幅國畫，分別是由饒公與趙少昂、黎雄才、關山月及楊善深等四人合作的繪畫，展期由2023年10月12日至2024年3月31日。
The Gallery at Jao Tsung-I Academy, renovated to elevate visitor’s experience, unveiled the inaugural exhibition “Lingnan Colour: Collaborative Paintings by Jao Tsung-i and the Four Masters of Lingnan”, features a total of 36 Chinese paintings by Jao Tsung-i and the four renowned Lingnan masters, Zhao Shao-ang, Li Xiong-cai, Guan Shan-yue, and Yang Shan-sum. The exhibition commences on 12th October, 2023 till 31st March, 2024.
Why it matters:
這批合作畫是在1983至2001年期間，饒公將自己完成的作品交予這四位嶺南大師，請他們自行根據他的畫作補筆。每幅畫都標誌着饒公與各位大師之間的友誼，同時反映饒公不為地區及門戶所限，抱開放交流的廣闊胸襟，給作品帶來深具歷史、藝術及教育等三層意義。
These collaborative paintings were created between 1983 and 2001. Jao Tsung-i entrusted his completed works to the four Lingnan masters, inviting them to add their brushwork. Each painting signifies the friendship between Jao Tsung-i and the respective masters, reflecting Jao’s open-mindedness and his commitment to artistic exchanges. These artworks carry profound historical, artistic, and educational value.
