CHAN Cheong-yip
穩重的抽象主義者
「成熟穩重的形象背後擅長以點、線、面、色彩來傳達自己的抽象藝術世界。」
昌業一直幾乎在創作文字符號,這些字符是他視覺風格的首要元素。他作畫條理分明、有效率,先用單色的勾線筆於十數張畫紙起線稿,然後逐張以麥克筆再描繪文符線條,一層一層的堆疊,佈滿整格色塊,最後形成一篇篇結構緊密的「文章」。同期的作品有類似的選色,但每張的色彩配搭和色塊編排都不一樣,而他畫起來卻是直截了當,毫不費力。
昌業曾嘗試於不同的材質上創作,但偏愛畫紙,最初以為以他的力氣,把密集的圖案畫在大畫紙上,必定很震撼,但最後大的畫紙只會把他的線及色塊都稀釋了。要看昌業最準確地把線條及色塊的配合,就要看他細小如手指的畫紙,便可享受到他的作品的美。
Mature Abstractionist
“Behind the mature and steady image, dots, lines, planes and colors are utilized to express one’s abstract artistic world.”
Cheong-yip seems all along only doing creation on symbols of words. Firstly, he uses an outliner pen of monochrome to do drafts of lines on dozens of drawing paper. Then, he uses a marker to paint the symbols of words. These lines overlap each other covering the whole colour block and the structure is compact. The matching of colours and arrangement of the colour blocks are different. It seems that he paints effortlessly in a forthright way.
Gradually, it was found that Cheong-yip only likes to draw patterns on paper. At first, it was thought that it would be very shocking to see a large painting with his dense patterns created under his physical strength. In the end, the big drawing paper "diluted" the lines and colour blocks. If we want to enjoy the beauty of his creation: the precise combination of lines and colour blocks, we need to look for his creation which is painted on a paper as tiny as a finger.
