Gallery EXIT 安全口画廊将于2009年7月10日举行首个夏季群展《绘画时，我想起了....》，展出六位80年代出生的本地艺术家的纸本作品，包括陈嘉仪、陈晓筠、邝镇禧、黎卓华、韦邦雨及黄丽茵。

六位年青艺术家以沉虑及深邃的作品来面对急促发展的现世界。他们对绘画同样地耐心专注；在独处的时间里，他们都选择坐下来深思熟虑，追求自身理想的创作空间。虽然在纸本上绘画是属于很自然任意的手法，但同时亦是一项仔细刻苦的工序。在这个信息泛滥的年代，人际间的沟通经常要快捷达意，但六位艺术家却愿意用需时费力和旷日持久的创作手段来展现忍耐不屈和坚持不懈的情操。当作品雏形逐渐涌现眼前时，创作人往往希望能够跟别人分享这份从寂寞中孕育出来的喜悦。同样地就是从这种孤独感，我们开始明白到那种被社会排挤孤立出来，存在着相互之间的抽离感觉。

Gallery EXIT is delighted to present our first summer group show, “when i draw, i think of you”, featuring works on paper by dedicated local artists born in the 1980s: Furze Chan, Casper Chan, Chunhei Kong, Sarah Lai, Pongyu Wai and Cam Wong.

These 6 local artists of the young generation counter the fast pacing world with their deliberate and contemplating works. They share a common dedication to the act of drawing. In their private hours, they chose to sit and remain, to slow down and contemplate in order to discover what they are searching for. Drawing is often a spontaneous activity, but it could also be a slow and pain staking process. Glowing up in the age of information overflow, in which fast and effective communication is the front burner, these artists present their time-consuming and laborious works that demonstrate the values of practice and hard work, the virtues of patience and perseverance. When a focused image begins to form under the hands, it is a great joy, born and bred in solitude, to be shared with someone. It is in this solitude, that we begin to understand each other’s existential loneliness and isolation from the society.
