  Press Release

  Hand gestures are potent expressive instruments. They often come out stronger than words of mouth. In the up-coming exhibition in April, Speechless, at Art Beatus Gallery, Beijing-based artist Liu Xuejun manipulates the usage of hand forms as his creative icons for messages that he wishes to convey.

  For hundreds of years, the hand signs of Buddhist statutes have been relating soul-soothing teachings. Such gestures of the hand need no further explanation with words. In his series of exhibits, Liu applied the same concept but differently. His hands, some of them distorted to accentuate his statements, were depicted to voice his speechless frustration, cynicism as well as anger.

  Liu's works, some of them in the propaganda poster format with highlighted slogans, are to reflect his sensitive observations of his environs and to articulate his attitudes on issues of the days of our life. He simply lets the fingers do all the talking.

  Born in Henan Province in 1960, Liu initially honed his skills in the studios of various top Beijing oil teachers in the late 1980’s. Then, he returned home and finished his studies at the Fine Art Department of the Henan University. Liu said that he was particularly interested in the styles of realism, photo-realism, surrealism and expressionism and viewers can easily find them in his works.

  Art Beatus Gallery is located on the ground floor of 35-39 Graham Street, Central, near the junction with Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace (SOHO Area).

  For further information about this exhibition or interview with the artist, you can either e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine Hau at 2526-0818.

  Gallery hours: Mon. thr. Saturday, 11:30am-7:30pm, close on Sundays & public holidays.

  手語是非常有力的表達形式,往往能言善達。數百年來,佛像慣用手印來傳法,無言地導人向善。北京畫家劉學軍使用不同手語作為他的創作符號,演繹、反映及細説他對一事一物的敏銳感覺,反思並描繪出他的內心世界。在三月底,精藝軒畫廊將展出《手若能言》系列油畫作品,展示劉學軍在這方面所投放的精力。

  劉學軍畫的手在攥拳頭時,表情細膩,視覺形象刻畫得十分生動。豊富的感情,呼之欲出,富有獨特表現力,部份畫面結合清晰的標語、口號,對現實生活輕鬆調侃,傳達著鮮明的時代感。

  劉學軍的創作表達方式明確,擁有畫家的敏銳觸覺及對現實的獨立觀察和判斷;他的大部份作品是他對中國現實歷史轉型期的親身感受,是他對自身文化的反省。他的畫在傳達強烈而明確的資訊,是他對所指事物現象的本質的看法,再透過相近於廣告宣傳畫的方式傳遞資訊。

  劉學軍1960年出生於河南省,八十年代在北京接受中央美術學院講師蘇高禮、馬常利的藝術指導,曾獲星星畫展主將之一黃銳的藝術指點,並與北京當地藝術家一起進行創作。在考入河南大學美術系學習期間,曾主修版畫專業,進行大量版畫創作,對德國表現主義版畫甚感興趣。在學期間,對歷史學、文學、政治學頗感興趣,自覺對將來從事批判性藝術打下一定的修養基礎。大學畢業後常往返于北京河南之間,與北京的藝術界保持了密切聯繫,不斷進行藝術創作。早期曾運用寫實主義、表現主義、照相寫實主義、超現實主義的藝術理念和形式進行繪畫探索。

  好的視覺藝術作品能讓觀眾隨時隨地跨越種族與地域,獲得共同感受,促進人與人之間互相了解,拉近距離。現實世界令人缺乏安定感,藝術家的繪畫作品正是在為人們提供著一種心靈補品,為人的“心靈”補充陽光而默默耕耘。劉學軍就是一位在這方面堅持走自己的創作路線的人。

  精藝軒畫廊位於中環嘉咸街35號地鋪(近荷李活道與擺花街交界)。
