翁澤國
YUNG Cheuk-kok
澤國是位完美主義者,只要作品有一點點不滿意的情況,就會立刻把畫作撕掉,掉去垃圾桶。他興奮時會不停轉動身體,手舞足蹈,但在創作時就變得非常認真,對自己的作品要求非常高,不時修改過往的作品。他的領悟能力很高,只要一點點提醒,雖然他有時看似沒留意,但當他明白及消化了,就會用自己的方式表達出來。
他每年都會專注一個題材。每個題材,看似幾乎一模一樣的構圖設計、創作物料和風格,但只要仔細閱讀,都不難發現他非常仔細地描繪每個細節,無論造型和空間比例上,都會隨時間細微地變化。越往後期越見緊密細緻,更見成熟。澤國最近期的作品,以爸爸媽媽為主題。之前的題材,澤國都是取自課堂所學,但這次卻是澤國自己的選擇。不論情景、造型、服裝,細緻連他們的指甲,每幅都不一樣。在他眼中,不但有日常工作上班的爸爸,還有依著時節而創作的財神爸媽。可見他對爸媽的印象一直在腦海中重複,並以不同想像和構思,研究其細節。早前,他突然把三年來的作品全部找回,一幅幅為爸媽補上鼻孔。
Cheuk-kwok is a perfectionist. He will tear up a painting and toss it into the bin if he is a little dissatisfied with it. When he feels excited, he spins his body and moves his limbs but he becomes focused during his creation. As he has a high demand of his works, he will make modifications to them from time to time. He just needs little hints during his learning for his strong ability to apprehend. Sometimes, it seems that he takes no heed of the hints, but when he understands and digests them, he will transform them to be his own way of expression.
Cheuk-kwok has focused on one theme each year for his painting. With the same theme, the content seems very similar. However, the complexity, amounts of details, ratios in the objects and space have shown subtle changes with the flow of time. His works have become more organized and sophisticated at the later stage of his art learning. Recently, he focuses on painting of his parents. Themes of his previous paintings were those he learned from the class. But now he chooses his own theme. What motivates him to paint his father again and again in various representations this year? What kind of affection he is revealing through the color pencils?
