《奕流花間》Bon Temps

關於展覽 / About Exhibition :

奕，音譯：「疫」，意指美麗、正面、精神奕奕。今次展覽的誕生是基於在疫情期間，人心惶惶，大家都好像失去了方向，或者對本來的生活目標都失去了焦點………變得無所適從。可能大家都曾經在這段疫情期間、在家工作期間失去了生活規律，没辦法出

埠旅遊的日子，讓我們難得地留在家中，做一些平時沒閒情專注的事情。Ann就是在這個時候畫出一個「花園」。

It's French and according to Wiktionary it means "good time".

The pandemic has been - and will continue to be - a time of unprecedented struggle and upheaval for most of us. Even though we are experiencing hardship and adversity, we have been able to find small bits of joy and meaningful activities. During this pandemic period, Ann took up a hobby, or maybe revived a long-lost part of herself: she draws every day. Drawing reminded Ann of her satisfaction with getting better at realism, the more exact rendering of the plants as it does in front of her. If the pandemic quarantine can be said to have even a single "good time", it was this enforced engagement and a renewed focus on the things that surrounding us.

關於藝術家 / About the Artist :

Ann是一位素人畫家，土生土長的香港人，平日是個返寫字樓

的上班族。Ann曾一度認為在生活指數偏高的香港，單純從事所謂的「藝術事業」很可能不夠糊口。所以，為了生計，讀書時代並沒有選擇跟藝術結緣。但愛畫畫的初心從未忘記，在投身社會後的過去十多年間，終於可以在興趣與生活中取得平衡點，並有幸可以跟不同的畫家學習在不同媒體上創作，包括水墨、油畫、塑膠油彩畫。最近，更自學愛上木顏色植物繪。在堅持每天下班和週末畫畫的習慣下，至今已繪畫超過100幅作品。

Ann is a native of Hong Kong, a normal office ladie. When living in a high living index place, like Hong Kong, it is believed people are quite difficult to earn their daily bread merely by so called "artist/painter". Therefore, in order to make a living, Ann picked other subjects than art in university. Yet her original intention towards art and painting was never forgotten. After graduated from university, she got chances to learn from different artists to create by using various media, including Chinese ink, oil, and acrylic painting. And, recently, Ann devoted into botanical colored pencil drawings by self-learnt. Ann keeps painting and drawing every day and so far, she got more than 100 art pieces. She hopes to share this joyfulness with others in her first solo art exhibition.
