地点:WURE AREA|九龙湾宏照街宝隆中心B栋7楼707

持续的透支正逐步消耗自身,而舍弃却与长久累积的自我认知割裂。维持日常生活的延续,就等同按照旧有轮廓把它勉强黏合,而内里中空。作品源自艺术家长期陪伴亲人病患的经验,记录着这时期的心理状态;在画布上,以静默代替安抚和抗拒。

The continuous overdraw is gradually consuming oneself, and abandonment is割裂from the long-accumulated self-cognition. Maintaining the continuation of daily life is equivalent to勉强gluing it according to the old outline, but the inside is hollow. The work stems from the artist’s long-term experience of accompanying a sick relative, recording the psychological state during this period; on the canvas, silence replaces comfort and resistance.

الانفاق المستمر يستهلك الذات تدريجياً، والتخلي ينفصل عن الاضطرابات الذاتية المتراكمة طويلاً. الحفاظ على استمرار الحياة اليومية يعادل لصقها بالقوة وفقاً للخطوط القديمة، بينما يكون الداخل فارغاً. تنبع العمل من تجربة الفنان في ال陪护الطويل لأهل مريض، مسجلًا الحالة النفسية خلال هذه الفترة. على اللوحة، الحسناء يُستبدل بالراحة والان抗拒.

 

持续的透支正逐步消耗自身,而舍弃却与长久累积的自我认知割裂。维持日常生活的延续,就等同按照旧有轮廓把它勉强黏合,而内里中空。作品源自艺术家长期陪伴亲人病患的经验,记录着这时期的心理状态;在画布上,以静默代替安抚和抗拒。

简嘉健试图透过绘画了解这段经验的结构与情感张力。在此项目中,他以油彩描绘一系列室内场景与静物。参考图象均以家用打印机打印成粗糙、失真的版本,再以朦胧的笔触转化到画布上。这个过程让原本清晰的轮廓变得柔软,构成具有情感的平面空间,产生既亲切又疏离的氛围。

Constant overexertion slowly drains the self. Letting go would break the long-built sense of identity. To sustain the continuity of daily life is merely to force the old contours back together in a fragile adhesion, while the interior has long since become hollow.

This showcase comes from Kan Kin Kin’s long experience caring for family members during illness. It captures the specific emotional and mental state of that time. On canvas, he replaces consolation or resistance with silence.

Kan Kin Kin seeks to understand the structure and emotional tension of this experience through painting. He renders a series of interior scenes and still lifes in oil. The reference images are first printed on a home printer into rough, distorted versions, then transferred onto canvas with soft, barely discernible brushstrokes. This process softens the originally sharp outlines, forming planar spaces imbued with feeling and evoking an atmosphere at once intimate and alienating.
