群展《香港诗意》集结四位国际摄影师，以镜头捕捉香港的韵律与矛盾，呈现摩登与传统交织的视觉诗篇。Group exhibition “Hong Kong Poetry” explores the city’s essence through four photographers, blending urban dynamism with timeless poetic contrasts.
香港这座繁华的大都市，以其令人惊叹的对比而闻名：高耸的摩天大楼、曲折的小巷、霓虹闪烁的街道以及宁静的港湾，长期以来吸引着来自世界各地的摄影师。今年三月，群展《香港诗意》将在香港的蓝莲画廊展出，展示著名摄影师何藩、帕拉尼·莫汉（Palani Mohan）、托马斯·古斯特（Thomas Gust）和罗曼·雅克-拉格雷兹（Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze）的动人作品，生动呈现这座标志性城市的精髓。
《香港诗意》展览将于3月22日至4月27日在蓝莲画廊举行，邀请观众通过四位风格迥异的艺术家的诗意镜头探索这座城市。他们以独特的方式捕捉了香港的精神、活力和矛盾之美。
香港不仅仅是一座城市；它是一幅充满生命和故事的画卷。其都市迷宫融合了现代化的光滑线条、殖民时代的遗迹以及深厚的传统根基，激发了几代摄影师去揭示其层次和细微之处。从狭窄街道中光影的交错，到城市密集背景下展开的人类叙事，香港充满活力的本质为诗意摄影提供了天然的画布。
通过他们的镜头，这些摄影师将香港转化为一首视觉交响曲——一个普通变得非凡、转瞬即逝变得永恒的地方。每一幅影像都是一首诗，揭示着这座城市的层次：既混乱又宁静，既历史悠久又充满未来感，既亲密又广袤。
这次展览提醒我们艺术具有提升日常生活的力量。凭借其不断变化的天际线和充满活力的街头生活，香港仍然是那些寻求捕捉其灵魂的艺术家们取之不尽的灵感源泉。
– The bustling metropolis of Hong Kong, with its striking juxtapositions of towering skyscrapers, meandering alleyways, neon-lit streets, and tranquil harbors, has long been a muse to photographers from around the world. This March, the essence of this iconic city is brought to life in the group exhibition, Hong Kong Poetry, featuring the evocative works of celebrated photographers Fan Ho, Palani Mohan, Thomas Gust, and Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze.
Running from 22 March to 27 April at Blue Lotus Gallery, Hong Kong Poetry invites visitors to explore the city through the poetic lens of four distinctive artists, each of whom has captured the spirit, energy, and contradictions of Hong Kong in their own unique way.
Hong Kong is more than a city; it is a living, breathing tapestry of stories. Its urban labyrinth of sleek modernity, colonial remnants, and deeply-rooted traditions has inspired generations of photographers to uncover its layers and nuances. From the interplay of light and shadow in narrow streets to the human narratives unfolding amidst its urban density, Hong Kong’s dynamic essence is a natural canvas for poetic photography.
Through their lenses, these photographers have transformed Hong Kong into a visual symphony—a place where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the ephemeral becomes eternal. Each image is a poem, revealing the layers of a city that is simultaneously chaotic and serene, historic and futuristic, intimate and vast.
The exhibition is a reminder of the power of art to elevate the everyday. With its ever-changing skyline and vibrant street life, Hong Kong remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration for those who seek to capture its soul.
The exhibition showcases:
展览展示：
Fan Ho: Revered as one of the greatest Asian photographers of the 20th century, Fan Ho’s iconic black-and-white images immortalize the Hong Kong of the 1950s and 1960s. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, he captured a city in transformation—brimming with both nostalgia and modernity. In this exhibition selected experimental works will be on display.
何蕃：被誉为20世纪世纪最伟大的亚洲摄影师之一，何蕃的标志性黑白白色图像使1950年代和1960年代的香港永垂不朽。通过他对光影的巧妙运用，他捕捉到了一个充满怀旧和现代气息的城市。在这次展览中，将展出精选的实验作品。
Palani Mohan: Award-winning Australian photographer Palani Mohan’s work has been widely published and exhibited, focusing on themes of culture, identity, and the human spirit. Mohan’s work highlights the profound connection between Hong Kong’s inhabitants and the sea that envelops the city. Far more than a mere geographical feature, the sea is a lifeline that has profoundly shaped Hong Kong’s history, economy, and culture. From bustling harbors teeming with ferries and cargo ships to serene fishing villages and tranquil waterfront promenades, the sea is woven into the daily lives of the city’s residents. Through his lens, Mohan captures this intimate relationship, portraying the sea as both a boundary and a bridge—linking Hong Kong’s storied past to its dynamic present, while offering moments of calm amidst the city’s frenetic pace. His photography moves beyond the obvious, focusing on the subtler, often-overlooked aspects of the city. With vibrant scenes and rich colors, Mohan brings to life the textures, contrasts, and rhythms of everyday existence, offering a fresh and poetic perspective on Hong Kong.
Palani Mohan：澳大利亚获奖摄影师Palani Mohan的作品已被广泛出版和展出，重点关注文化，身份和人类精神的主题。莫汉的作品突出了香港居民与包围这座城市的大海之间的深刻联系。海洋不仅仅是一个地理特征，它还是一条生命线，深刻地塑造了香港的历史、经济和文化。从挤满渡轮和货船的繁华港口到宁静的渔村和宁静的海滨长廊，大海融入了这座城市居民的日常生活。通过他的透镜，Mohan捕捉到了这种亲密的关系，将大海描绘成一个边界和桥梁，将香港传奇的过去与充满活力的现在联系起来，同时在城市的狂热步伐中提供平静的时刻。他的摄影超越了明显的，专注于城市的微妙，往往被忽视的方面。 透过充满活力的场景和丰富的色彩，Mohan将日常生活的纹理，对比和节奏带入生活，为香港提供了一个新鲜而诗意的视角。
Thomas Gust: German photographer and publisher Thomas Gust explores themes of memory, connection, and urban life through a distinctive blend of photography and fine art. During his stay in Hong Kong in 2023 and 2024, Gust sought to create a visually independent perspective on the city, combining traditional photography with abstraction and manual interventions such as overpainting. This process transforms his images while preserving their photographic essence, pushing the boundaries of the medium.
托马斯·古斯特：德国摄影师兼出版人托马斯·古斯特通过摄影和美术的独特融合探索记忆、联系和城市生活的主题。2023年和2024年在香港期间，古斯特试图创造一个视觉上独立的城市视角，将传统摄影与抽象和手工干预（如过度绘画）相结合。这个过程改变了他的图像，同时保留了他们的摄影本质，推动了媒介的边界。
Drawing inspiration from Romanticism, Gust incorporates elements like trees and floral motifs juxtaposed against Hong Kong’s cityscape, blending 19th-century art historical compositions with expressive, contemporary techniques. His work reimagines urban and natural landscapes, offering a fresh, conceptually rich interpretation of Hong Kong and challenging conventional ideas of photography.
Gust从浪漫主义中汲取灵感，将树木和花卉图案等元素与香港的城市景观并置，将19世纪的艺术历史作品与富有表现力的当代技术相融合。他的作品重新构思城市和自然景观，为香港提供了一个新鲜的，概念丰富的诠释，并挑战传统的摄影观念。
Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze: Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze’s will show selected works of his series ‘City Poetry’ which is a personal and artistic tribute to Hong Kong and its Cantonese culture. The series captures the beauty of the city’s street signs, with their worn textures, peeling paint, rusted metal, and broken neon, transforming them into poetic representations of time’s passage. With the help of his wife, Jacquet-Lagrèze translates the characters, deepening his understanding of Hong Kong’s language and culture. He artfully combines characters from different signs to create visual and linguistic collages, celebrating the beauty of traditional Chinese calligraphy while reimagining the city’s urban landscape as a poetic canvas. City Poetry is a striking exploration of Hong Kong’s visual identity and its cultural and spiritual essence.
Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze：Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze将展出他的“城市诗歌”系列的精选作品，这是对香港及其广东文化的个人和艺术致敬。该系列捕捉了这座城市街道标志的美丽，其破旧的纹理、剥落的油漆、生锈的金属和破碎的氖，将它们变成了时间流逝的诗意表现。在妻子的帮助下，Jacquet-Lagrèze翻译了这些人物，加深了他对香港语言和文化的理解。他巧妙地将不同标志中的字符组合在一起，创造出视觉和语言的拼贴画，庆祝中国传统书法之美，同时将城市的城市景观重新想象成一幅诗意的画布。《城市诗歌》是对香港视觉形象及其文化和精神实质的一次引人注目的探索。
