十八年來(lái)，羅世長(zhǎng)一直在寫他自學(xué)成材的油畫作品，一直在寫他熟悉的溫哥華山山水水，一直在探索對(duì)這些山水的表現(xiàn)手法。
我們實(shí)在不願(yuàn)類別他的作品為風(fēng)景畫，相信他自己也不願(yuàn)把作品定性屬這一類。他的作品，題目都是以開始創(chuàng)作那張作品的那一天來(lái)定名；他的畫，沒(méi)有傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)景油畫的精工細(xì)琢，沒(méi)有印象派的厚色重彩，也不盡是傾訴心中情懷的憑空思憶。色彩淡樸，筆觸輕盈，羅的創(chuàng)作遊走於具象與抽象之間。他的作品驟眼看來(lái)，輕鬆寫意，純靜安逸，接近大自然；但仔細(xì)觀察後，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)畫面是經(jīng)過(guò)慎密鋪排，才被精練地展現(xiàn)在畫布上。曾受人類學(xué)及博物館學(xué)的心思細(xì)密訓(xùn)練，羅世長(zhǎng)採(cǎi)用接近卻又不同的色塊去描繪疊疊遠(yuǎn)山，然後再補(bǔ)上樸實(shí)的水天景色，讓這些看似寫實(shí)的油畫水山，引領(lǐng)觀眾進(jìn)入另一個(gè)景界，進(jìn)入了抽象表現(xiàn)藝術(shù)的範(fàn)疇。
羅世長(zhǎng)生於日本，在臺(tái)灣成長(zhǎng)，於臺(tái)灣大學(xué)人類學(xué)畢業(yè)後，再在加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學(xué)人類學(xué)系及多倫多大學(xué)博物館學(xué)系取得碩士學(xué)位，他在多倫多皇家安大略博物館工作十年後，在一九八九年與妻兒移居溫哥華，全情投入藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作。迄今他在加拿大、日本及臺(tái)灣已舉辦過(guò)廿多次個(gè)展。

Landscape Forever
Oil paintings of Lo Shyh-charng
Art Beatus Gallery
35-39 Graham Street, Ground floor (near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace)Central, Hong Kong
Exhibition period: July 6 to July 27, 2007
Artist will attend the opening ceremony at 6:30 to 8:30pm on July 6, 2007
Press Release
In most of his paintings, Lo Shyh-charng has successfully imbedded an intrinsic energy that aims to induce the viewers to explore beyond the apparent imageries on the canvases.
The colour fields that vividly replicate the sceneries that Lo wished to depict at some specific moments of time, the way how he applied the subtle and pastel pigments as well as the final presentation of the finished works are actually the real quests for him time after time. His works bear striking similitude to the abstract expressionistic works, especially those of late Mark Rothko.
We name this exhibition Landscape Forever for the reasons that the exhibits were depicting actual locations around Vancouver, and Landscape painting is a convenient starting point for art-lovers to appreciate Lo’s works. The literal quality of the word, Forever, denotes the enjoyment of our gallery in showing these works.
Our gallery has much reservation in classifying most of Lo’s works as landscapes and people who have seen his works tend to agree. Some exhibits are paintings of scenery but most works come closer to abstract, with fields of adjacent colours, and are strongly expressionistic, covered with sensitive brushstrokes of the artist.
Born in Japan, grew up in Taiwan, trained as an anthropologist and musemologist in Taiwan and then in Canada, Lo is a self-taught artist. For 18 years, he has been fine-tuning his style full time after quitting his job with the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto in 1989 and moved to Vancouver with his family.
Art Beatus Gallery is located at 35-39 Graham Street, ground floor, Central. For further information about this exhibition or to interview the artist, you can e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk, or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine Hau at 2526-0818.
Gallery Hours: Mon. thr. Sat. 11:30am – 7:30pm, close on Sundays & public holidays
