七百多份申請、九十三位入選畫家、一百一十八幅全新創作——當一新美術館在2024年首屆「西源里選畫」獲得熱烈迴響後，館方決定將這項目發展為常設雙年展，成為美術館的旗艦活動。「第二屆西源里選畫」自2026年1月公開招募以來，短短三個月內錄得逾700份申請，反映出香港本土創作土壤的深厚與澎湃活力。

Over 700 applications, 93 selected artists, 118 new works — after the enthusiastic response to the inaugural “Hong Kong Paintings in Sai Yuen Lane” in 2024, Sun Museum decided to establish the project as a permanent biennial, making it the museum’s flagship event. Since the open call launched in January 2026, the second edition received over 700 applications within three months — a keen competition that reflects the vibrancy of Hong Kong’s local art scene.

從觀塘到西源里：一座美術館的落腳 | A Museum Finds Its Home

2024年，一新美術館告別了觀塘，落腳西營盤西源里一號。新館的第一次展覽，他們做了一個大膽的嘗試——不策劃主題展，而是向全香港的畫家公開徵件。「那時候我們也不知道會怎樣，沒有想過會繼續辦下去。」館長在開幕時回憶。但展覽一開，反應出乎意料地熱烈。許多藝術家告訴館方，他們很需要這樣一個平台——不分資歷、不限主題、只看作品。於是，館方決定給它一個正式的身份：雙年展。每兩年一次，讓香港畫家有一個值得期待的舞台。

In 2024, Sun Museum bid farewell to Kwun Tong and settled at 1 Sai Yuen Lane in Sai Ying Pun. For its inaugural exhibition, they tried something bold — no themed show. Instead, they opened the call to all Hong Kong painters. “We didn’t know how it would go. We never thought it would continue,” the director recalled at the opening. But the response was overwhelming. Many artists told the museum how much they needed a platform like this — no hierarchy, no theme restrictions, just the work. So the museum gave it an official status: a biennial. Once every two years, a stage for Hong Kong painters to look forward to.

一家三口的畫緣 | A Family’s Artistic Bond

在眾多入選者中，有一個特別的故事。88歲的黃滿南是今次最年長的參展者，年輕時以繪畫戲院廣告畫為職業，退休後三十多年未曾提筆，近幾年才重拾畫筆。他的女兒黃寶明瞞着父親報名參賽，結果父女雙雙入選——父親的《追昔》與女兒的兩幅作品《父母——父親》、《父母——母親》一同展出。

黃寶明的兩幅作品探索父母截然不同的性格——以畫筆記錄家庭記憶，也成為本屆展覽中最溫暖的註腳。

Among the selected artists, there is a special story. 88-year-old Wong Moon Nam is the oldest participant. He worked as a cinema poster painter in his youth, but had not picked up a brush for over 30 years after retirement. He only resumed painting in recent years. His daughter Wong Po Ming secretly submitted an application for her father without telling him — and both father and daughter were selected. His work “Reminiscing” is exhibited alongside her two pieces “Parents: Father” and “Parents: Mother.”

Wong Po Ming’s works explore her parents’ contrasting personalities — using her brush to document family memories, becoming one of the warmest footnotes of this exhibition.

畫家與病痛：沈平的左手奇蹟 | The Artist and Adversity: The Miracle of SHEN Ping’s Left Hand

在展覽眾多的作品中，有一幅畫的筆觸特別與眾不同——不是因為它畫得多精細，而是因為它帶著一種粗獷而真摯的力量。那是畫家沈平的作品。

沈平是香港畫壇的重要人物，幾十年來用畫筆記錄這座城市的每一條街、每一個角落。但幾年前，一場中風讓他的右手無法再握筆。對於一個畫家來說，這幾乎是毀滅性的打擊。他後來說，中風後連筷子都握不了，痛苦得幾乎把所有顏料都扔掉了。但他沒有真的放下畫筆。他開始用左手重新學習繪畫，像是回到了學畫的最初，從零開始，一點一點地摸索。技法變了，媒材也換了，但他畫的還是香港——那些熟悉的街市、海傍、小巷中的生活氣息。

這次展出的作品，便是他用左手完成的新作。畫布上，筆觸不再精巧細緻，卻帶著一種更直接、更真實的力量——那是一個畫家面對身體的限制，仍然選擇繼續畫下去的證明。

Among the many works in this exhibition, one stands out for its distinctive brushwork — not because of its technical refinement, but because of its raw, unpolished sincerity. This is the work of artist SHEN Ping.

SHEN Ping is a prominent figure in Hong Kong’s art scene, having spent decades documenting every street and corner of the city with his brush. But a few years ago, a stroke took away the use of his right hand. For a painter, this was a devastating blow. He later said that after the stroke, he could not even hold chopsticks — and in his anguish, he almost threw away all his paints. But he never truly put down his brush. He began learning to paint again with his left hand, as if returning to the very beginning of his artistic journey — starting from zero, groping his way forward bit by bit. His technique changed, his materials changed, but he still painted Hong Kong — the familiar markets, the waterfront, the quiet life of its back alleys.

The work exhibited here is a new piece completed with his left hand. The brushstrokes are no longer polished, but they carry a raw, direct power — a testament to an artist who chose to keep painting despite the limitations of his body.

小人物的光：符聞一的兩幅畫 | The Light of Everyday Heroes: FU Man Yat’s Two Paintings

在展廳的一角，兩幅水彩畫靜靜地並排掛著。一幅是消防員，一幅是地盤工人。畫面上沒有驚天動地的場面，只有專注的身影和協作的姿態。符聞一的水彩技法十分克制——不賣弄色彩，不追求華麗，只是用最樸素的方式，把這些勞動者的身影留在紙上。每一筆都像在說：這些人值得被看見。

他選擇了用最溫柔的媒材——水彩——去畫最剛強的職業。那種反差，讓畫面多了一層溫度。

In one corner of the gallery, two watercolours hang side by side. One depicts firefighters. The other shows construction workers. There is no dramatic spectacle in these scenes — only focused figures and the quiet attitude of collaboration. FU Man Yat watercolour technique is restrained — he does not flaunt colour or pursue extravagance. He simply records these labourers on paper in the most unassuming way. Each brushstroke seems to say: these people deserve to be seen.

He chose the gentlest medium — watercolour — to portray the toughest professions. That contrast adds a layer of warmth to the image.

建築師的畫筆：從專業到志業 | The Architect’s Brush: From Profession to Vocation

今次展覽中，多位建築師出身的參展者格外引人注目。劉浩昌是藝壇知名的藝術教育者，也是建築師；吳永順既是建築師，亦有多項公職；岑延威曾參與威尼斯建築雙年展策展。他們在專業工作之餘，從未放下畫筆。

Several architects stand out among this year’s participants. Lau Hoo Cheong is a well-known art educator and architect; Vincent NG is both an architect and a public officer; TSENG Yen Wei, William, has curated exhibitions at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Alongside their professional work, they have never put down their brushes.

館長指出：「讀建築的很多人都是小時候喜歡畫畫，長大後可以找到自己的工作。退休後才開始學畫的也有，我們有退休的副校長、退休教師。畫畫是喜歡藝術的人的初心。」

The director noted: “Many who study architecture loved drawing as children, and found their career later on. There are also those who only started painting after retirement — retired vice-principals, retired teachers. Painting is the original aspiration of anyone who loves art.”

小貼士 TIPS

這裡沒有「學了幾年」的標籤，只有「畫了什麼」的答案。有人畫了一輩子，有人才剛開始三個月。但站在牆上的那一刻，時間不再重要。

There are no labels here saying “how many years studied.” Only the answer to “what did you paint.” Some have painted all their lives, some just started three months ago. But the moment their work hangs on the wall, time stops mattering.
