“山水畫”是東方藝術家對描繪風景內容的作品的統稱，不一定是對實景的寫生，往往極可能只是藝術家們內心的丘壑。水禾田用攝影機去捕捉人與景，近卅年來，經已是深入民心了，在“高山流水”山水畫展覽中，他改用丙稀油彩簡約地描繪著他的山水，這是他的一種新嘗試。
在藝術圈子中，水禾田的這個名字幾乎是相等於攝影、廣告製作、導演及旅遊家。數年前，他開始用水墨作畫，作品別開生面，這次再用油彩，是他對自己的另一種挑戰。
這次展出的作品帶有極濃的“極少主義”感覺，無論在色調與筆觸，水禾田把變化減至最少；他把大自然磅礡之氣勢，用相同色調但不同深淺的色塊，再配上精簡的白線條，呈現于畫布上。經常體驗大自然的他，深度地提升出山水的精華，用極具魅力的技巧，描繪下他內心的景觀。
水禾田生於中國廣東省南海縣，早在一九七Ｏ年初已出道，獲獎無數，曾于不同報章及雜誌寫專欄，與出版攝影集，畫集與遊記。在二ＯＯ六年更成為聯合國教科文組織拍攝世界文化遺産有關中國的部份的製作人。
水禾田的創作意念：
高高的山，飄渺的白雲，偶爾聽流水，
大地含情，默默無言，
我愛，天地靈秀。

Running Water Mountain High

Water Poon is not an unfamiliar name in Hong Kong’s art scene. Three decades of untiring and multi-facet artistic endeavours have made him an almost synonym to photography, art, travel, design and film production.
His latest challenge is acrylic “Shan-Shui” paintings on canvas. In the works to be on show in “Running Water Mountain High” exhibition at Art Beatus Gallery, Poon skilfully captured the essences of majestic mountains and sceneries with the minimal variations in colours and brush strokes.
Shan-Shui paintings of oriental artists harbour deeper connotations and are very different from the landscape paintings of their occidental counterparts. The paintings are not mere artistic reproductions of certain landscapes. They are frequently the philosophical interpretation of the creators of their environs, their mindscapes.
Poon’s acrylic Shan-Shui is clearly an extension of his ink Shan-Shui paintings, which he started a few years ago. The new works are more clean-cut. The minimal treatment in depiction aims to catch and bring forth the deep tranquillity of Mother Nature rather than to explore the complexity of the scenery.
Artist’s Statement:
Running Water Mountain High
The jagged mountain rises above the thin veil of fleeting clouds in all her majesty.
Faint sound from the nearby stream breaks the Great silence.
Nature is speechless but I could feel her passion.
I am in awe and in love with the Great Spirit. -- Water Poon
