一片山在前立着，

鑲金之藍 Cobalt Peridot (睿光系列 Ray of Light series), Mediha Ting
38 x 33 cm | 2017
Acrylic and Chinese Ink on Canvas
Suggested Value: HK$ 38,000

作品從遠處看，會看見第一層的顏色和抽象形態；靠近一點看，可以看到背後不同層次的細節，當中以水墨來畫出的城市的天際線、景觀及社會活動。如果有自然光線射在畫上，顏色層次會反射不同顏色的光；如貝殼裡七彩的光與顏色。再配以佛教《金剛經》，以「空性」給人安靜、除去負面的情緒，捕捉「光」正能量的意境。

希望能呈現愛與和諧的感覺，以平衡社會上的紛爭與相異– 這大概是我們在這時代、這城市中最需要的。盼望這作品可以啟發各位尋找、珍惜和擁抱你身邊的每一道光。

Artist Mediha Ting is a Belgian born artist who grew up in Hong Kong in a Taiwanese-Muslim household. She later received her higher education in the United States and England, at institutions including the University of the Arts
London (Byam Shaw). After twenty years of working in the art world in London she returned to Hong Kong. Consequently, her art speaks with a unique angle of multi-culturalism, and has been described as “embodying a powerful feminine spiritual energy.” Ting’s diverse background and upbringing along with her overseas experiences
nudge her to examine perceptions of cultural identity, the interplay of relationships between one’s inner world, the urban environment in relation to the natural environment, and states of consciousness and the subconscious.

Dragon, TK Chan

Ink and colour on paper

TK Chan began her Chinese ink painting series in winter 2016 under the encouragement and guidance of established artist POON Kwing Wing (Water POON). Inspired by the round cuteness of her own pet animals, she sought to
capture these lively qualities with the movement of her ink brush and the colour ink wash of her images. Her animal paintings have been described as embodying happy feelings of love and caring. All life was precious; that we need to treasure life, every little bit of it, including not abandoning or killing sick animals & ourselves not succumbing to thoughts of hopelessness & suicide. It meant seeing new beauty in adopting & nurturing our pets. In this Animal Family Collection, she wished to convey that Home is one of the important element in Chinese Society since ancient time. In TK’s collection you can find: Children are nurtured, Adults are supported to contribute, Elderly are cared for.

This animal collection was first shown at INK ASIA art fair in December 2016 in Hong Kong where her fresh contemporary ink style, received much attention from the local media & from established Chinese ink painters. In 2017 she was one of the finalists for the Finalist of the Entrepreneurial Award, Alumni Awards 2017 – organized by the British Council, Hong Kong. Her painting ‘Rooster Family and Happy Dog’ were selected at 33 Auction, Singapore in 2017 and 2018.
