Open 結 Enclose 完 2

Open 結 Enclose 完 2
Solo exhibition 
10March ~1 May 2014







        袁偉業,澳門人,1974年生,畫家,設計師,澳門August 13 設計公司負責人
   
拒絕傳統審美,關註心靈拷問
        袁偉業長期專註於繪畫媒體。其作品風格大膽細膩,用色強烈,空間感十足。他拒絕傳統視覺美感,註重心靈拷問,引發人們對社會問題的思考,所以他的大部分作品,很少出現美女或者美景,人物經常被線條化或者抽象化,只有部分肢體動作或面部神情被突出。至今為止,袁偉業的[自作業]系列作品,曾分別展示在四次開辦的個人畫展上。

敘事意
        敘事手法經常出現在袁偉業的作品中。他通過一些具體場景的展示,把觀賞者帶入其中,讓其自發想象或者回憶,從而進入自我思考狀態。在這些敘事的事物中,舞會、商務場合、酒杯、高跟鞋、床等經常出現,這些物象通過其特定的文化特征,細膩地展現人物內心。當然,除了一系列的動態情景,袁偉業也有部分安靜的敘事作品。他們或安然地祈禱,或靜思,或獨自床上冥想。這些作品無一不關註人物內心,通過特定姿態,表達藝術家對人和生活的思考。


 本土心聲與普世價
       袁偉業的畫作著力刻畫澳門本土人的心象,並從中挖掘普世意義。本次展出的系列作品[open 結 enclose 完2],多運用隱手法,展現澳門時代發展的變化。他慣用小鳥、裸女及抽象的澳門賭場等背景題材,表達澳門本土人對賭場、外來者、殖民主義的態度和心聲。同時,以國際視野來看待那些虛化了澳門背景的作品, 也能引起大眾共鳴,顯示出其普世價。 這些作品或表達個人對僵硬社會體系的疏離,或展現城市繁忙對個人的壓力,或者表達復雜人際關系中的勾心鬥角,或者描繪熱鬧繁華中的孤單, 還有,夜深人靜時的內心祈禱。這些人性的基本情感和生活狀態,融匯在作品的點點滴滴中,用以觸發大眾的情緒體驗和對生活的思考。
         
自我表達和思考
       藝術作品之所以成為藝術,在於其能引發大眾形成自我獨特的情感體驗和思考。袁偉業的作品非常註重這一點 。他善於挖掘事物背後的意義,展現其思想性和空間性, 引發個體的情緒共鳴。如今,繪畫語言已成為他表達自己的主要方式。他的每一幅作品,都是一段人生歷程的縮寫,內涵了自己深鎖心間的情感和思考。繪畫於他而言,已是生命支柱。

“Recently, Macau has undergone tremendous changes, from a tiny village, unknown, to a metropolitan city. Being a local, I can feel every trace of the surrealistic atmosphere…”

Leo Yuen Wai Ip transfers his deepest affection and sentiments towards his home city on the canvas.  Through the use of bold colours, exaggerated expressions, absurd sense of composition and abstract figures, Leo lets the heart guides the brush and his works are full of personality giving a sense of “Don Quixote” style black humour.  Leo refuses the traditional visual aesthetic appeal but focuses on the experience of inner emotions and reflections on humanity and living realities.  There are no beauties or scenery but narratives of dynamic or quiet scenarios – a party, a living character, a business occasion, wine glasses, bed…Leo uses metaphors to depict the changes in the times of Macau.  His usual birds, nudes and abstract background of casinos express one’s perspectives towards the gaming industry, outsiders, colonialism and the type of society we are living in.  These works express personal alienation from a rigid social system, show the pressure of a bustling city on an individual, and tell a complex human relationship of intrigue.  All these basic human emotions are integrated into every bit of Leo's works triggering reflections.

Leo was born in Macao in 1974.  He is an artist, a designer, person-in-charge of August 13 design company,  Rarely active in the local painting and artistic circles, humble and very low-key; nevertheless, for Leo, each piece of his works is an abbreviation of a real life journey unlocking onto his inner-self.



Painting has already been the pillar of his life.
