【Art Sharing】VesselⅠ& VesselⅡ by FAI HUNG 熊輝作品
Today, we are going to take a look at Fai Hung’s painting. Hung is a Hong Kong artist whose creation mainly focuses on the field of contemporary Chinese ink art.
Exploring with both Chinese and Western media, Hung has developed unique expression and presentation techniques on both paper and canvas. Through the deconstruction of elements in traditional Chinese ink paintings, his works are reconstructed conceptually with a series of experimentation and transformation and extended possibilities in ink painting.
He presented two artworks in this year Art Basel, naming Vessel Ⅰ & Vessel Ⅱ.
Hung invited his mother to use XUAN paper to fold a ship, which served as a carrier of her childhood impression of ship and reminiscences. The paper itself following his mother’s memory was turned into the dimensional spaces.
Hung flattened the ship gently along the fold marks, placed the ship on layers of xuan paper, and then soaked them with water. As the tip of his pen goes up and down, the oppressed ink dots shower over the ship, cover it gradually until it is fully covered. Water was then instilled from one end of the paper. The black ink diffused with the current and slowly penetrated the ship. Lastly, Hung lifted the ship, symbolising the unearthing of a buried trace, evoked from the blank what was once forgotten.
In the end, the paper was spread open and placed vertically by the sides, and the ship rested in the middle, manifested an ‘open’ state in Vessel Ⅰ & ‘closed’ in Vessel Ⅱ. The expanded mirrored space and the tightly closed maternal imagery expressed relationships of mother and son in the pursuing of origin.

今天介绍的是香港水墨艺术家熊辉的作品。
熊辉毕业于香港中文大学，专注于当代水墨的范畴进行创作。对中西媒介进行探索和实验，重新演绎水墨艺术，并发展出一套独特的技法及表现形式。作品籍着解构传统水墨媒介的元素，以概念重塑绘画，经实验、转化，赋予其新的意义及可能性。
今次，熊辉邀请母亲用宣纸摺一艘船，以纸船为载体，记录母亲同年对船的印象与回忆。 纸张随着母亲的记忆，被折叠成立体的空间。
熊辉把母亲的纸船沿着折痕轻轻压平，放在宣纸层上用水湿透。随着笔尖起落，压抑的墨点如雨般覆盖纸船，使其埋藏其中。接着，水从宣纸的一段不断渗入，顺着水势，墨点慢慢穿透纸船，把纸船抱起，象征揭开被埋藏的印痕，从那片苍白当中唤醒被遗忘了的事物。
最后，把宣纸层翻开，垂直置于左右，并将纸船之中，在《源Ⅰ 》和《源Ⅱ》, 分别呈现开、合两种状态：展开成镜像空间、紧合为母体的意向，表达母与子在寻求本源的过程中之关係、

今天介紹的是香港水墨藝術家熊輝的作品。
熊輝畢業于香港中文大學，專注於當代水墨的範疇進行創作。對中西媒介進行探索和實驗，重新演繹水墨藝術，並發展出一套獨特的技法及表現形式。作品籍着解構傳統水墨媒介的元素，以概念重塑繪畫，經實驗、轉化，賦予其新的意義及可能性。
今次，熊輝邀請母親用宣紙摺一艘船，以紙船為載體，記錄母親同年對船的印象與回憶。 紙張隨著母親的記憶，被折疊成立體的空間。
熊輝把母親的紙船沿著折痕輕輕壓平，放在宣紙層上用水濕透。隨著筆尖起落，壓抑的墨點如雨般覆蓋紙船，使其埋藏其中。接著，水從宣紙的一段不斷滲入，順著水勢，墨點慢慢穿透紙船，把紙船抱起，象征揭開被埋藏的印痕，從那片蒼白當中喚醒被遺忘了的事物。
最後，把宣紙層翻開，垂直置於左右，並將紙船之中，在《源Ⅰ 》和《源Ⅱ》, 分別呈現開、合兩種狀態：展開成鏡像空間、緊合為母體的意向，表達母與子在尋求本源的過程中之關係、
