被棄置在廢車場(chǎng)的破爛舊車，在梅創(chuàng)基的筆下起死回生，煥發(fā)出無限的餘暉，它們僅存的“剩餘價(jià)值”被添上引人入勝的色彩。
梅創(chuàng)基生於廣東臺(tái)山，畢業(yè)於廣州美術(shù)學(xué)院版畫系，多年來專注嘗試各類型藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作，除了畫畫外，他用大量時(shí)間在各地實(shí)地寫生，他的素描寫實(shí)功底在其作品中充份體現(xiàn)出來。梅創(chuàng)基的繪畫樸素有味，淡雅見奇。
這次在精藝軒的《棄車保帥》展覽中，他分別用水彩、油畫素、描速寫、雕塑等形式，專注地以一些被人們遺棄了的費(fèi)舊汽車破爛殘骸為繪畫題材，突顯出他的獨(dú)特個(gè)人創(chuàng)作風(fēng)格。
汽車與現(xiàn)代人生活息息相關(guān)，汽車是日常生活消費(fèi)品的典型符號(hào)之一，在《棄車保帥》中， 梅的畫面儘是殘破廢車，但卻色調(diào)豐富自然，樸素典雅；他選擇性地從不同角度表現(xiàn)，廢汽車殘骸的各種面貌，並傾注了畫家對(duì)被畫主體的個(gè)人情懷，給人豐富的真實(shí)感；他用棄車廢料做成的雕塑作品中，利用汽車殘件金屬材質(zhì)特點(diǎn)，創(chuàng)作成異想天開的三度視覺效果，反映出他另一個(gè)精神世界。這個(gè)“棄車”系列把觀者引進(jìn)一處極度現(xiàn)實(shí)的環(huán)境，從汽車的殘骸揭示著人類要為進(jìn)步發(fā)展付出高昂代價(jià)，也暗示梅本人對(duì)宏觀社會(huì)的價(jià)值觀的批判。

Press Release
As an artist, Mui Chong-ki finds beauties everywhere, even in the graveyard for depilated vehicles. For years, he has sketched and painted dozen of works in the form of drawing, watercolour and mixed media painting of these forgotten friends of mankind expiring in their final destination.
He puts colours back on these means of transport that have run out of luck, gas and life. Mui says that he does all these as his personal criticism on the value of consumerism as well as the price that we are paying for attaining rapid progress.
Mui is no stranger to the Hong Kong art scene. He was amongst the earliest group of Chinese artists in Hong Kong who did western styled works and he started exhibiting in group and solo exhibitions here and overseas since 1972.
Born in Taishan County, Guangdong Province, in 1940, Mui received his training in the print department of the Guangzhou Academy of Art. In 1963, he moved to settle in Hong Kong but in recent years Mui spends most his time in his studio in Guangzhou.
Apart from exhibiting sketches, watercolour and his unique kind of mixed media paintings, Mui will also show sculptures that he has made with metal remnants and vehicle parts in the “To Wrecks with Love” exhibition.
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.
