思念，是偶爾抬頭望向窗外風景的瞬間，是看見寵物玩耍時的歡笑，是那隻小小的紙船，也是那一個溫暖的擁抱。有時，思念甚至只是渴望一場安穩的睡眠。
Longing is the gentle gaze out the window at a distant view, the soft laughter that comes from watching a pet at play, the delicate paper boat drifting on the water, or the warmth of a tender embrace. At times, longing is simply the wish for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Why it matters:
Touch Gallery於9月24日至10月18日舉辦本地藝術家馮凱珊的新作個人展《紙船入夢》。馮凱珊於2016年畢業於香港中文大學藝術系(文學士)，並於2020年取得香港中文大學藝術碩士學位。馮氏擅長運用傳統中國畫技法，創作專注於畫面的氣氛營造以及細膩的工筆絲毛勾勒。其作品從自身生活經歷及感悟出發，透過繪畫城市及野生動物，反思人與動物及人與人之間的情感關連。善用金、銀色豐富畫面層次，表現虛實交錯的視覺效果。
Touch Gallery is pleased to announce the upcoming solo exhibition “A Floating Dream Voyage” by local artist Sherry Fung Hoi Shan, which will take place from September 24 to October 18. FUNG graduated from the Fine Arts Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2016 and finished her Master programme of Fine Arts in 2020. Applying the techniques of traditional Chinese paintings, FUNG works primarily with fine brushes and uses deep colour shades which create an ambiance within her works. Inspired by her own life experiences and perceptions, she reflects the emotional linkages between humans and human-animals through depiction of the cities and wildlifes. The tension between animals and cities is also shown in her paintings. She is especially skilled in using gold and silver colour to build rich layers that intertwine reality and fantasy.
4 Hightlights:
．是次展覽中，馮氏以傳統工筆畫技法結合日本金銀箔技藝，以動物、花海、海浪及城市，探討「思念」的不同形態。
．馮氏的作品中，在極端環境下生活的雪豹，不再只是狩獵者的凶猛象徵，而是展現出堅毅與溫柔共存的一面。
．這個形象與其他作品中的城市動物形成對比與呼應，進一步引發觀者對人與動物之間，以及人與人之間思念情感的深思。
．作品中融入的日本金銀箔技法，豐富了畫面的層次與質感，同時蘊含的細膩情感令作品得以昇華。
．In this exhibition, Fung explores various forms of longing through the use of traditional gongbi painting techniques combined with Japanese gold and silver foil artistry. The depiction of animals, floral seas, ocean waves, and urban landscapes serves as a medium to delve into these emotions.
．In Fung’s work, snow leopards, dwelling in extreme environments, are not just fierce predators but also show strength and gentleness.
．This image contrasts and resonates with the urban animals portrayed in other works, further prompting reflection on the emotions of longing between humans and animals, as well as between people.
．The incorporation of Japanese gold and silver foil techniques enriches the visual texture and layers of the artwork, while also elevating the delicate emotions embedded within the pieces.

Final Tips:
你知道展觀主題是來自詩人冰心的以下詩句嗎？
我從不肯妄棄了一張紙，
總是留着 留着，
疊成一隻一隻很小的船兒，
從舟上拋下在海裏。
有的被天風吹捲到舟中的窗裏，
有的被海浪打濕，沾在船頭上。
我仍是不灰心的每天的疊着， 總希望有一隻能流到我要他到的地方去。
-冰心《紙船——寄母親》節錄
Did you know that the theme of the exhibition comes from the following poem by poet Bing Xin?
Never willing to waste a sheet of paper,
I save and save
Then fold them into small, small boats
And throw them into the sea from my ship.
Some are blown back into the portholes,
Others are stuck on the stern, soaked by waves,
And I, undiscouraged, keep on folding and hoping
That one will finally reach its destination.
— Excerpt from “Paper Boats—to Mother” by Bing Xin
