“剎那” 是梵文 Ksana，意思是不能表达的短暂时间；于一剎那之中又包含了九百个生灭，这些生生灭灭之中，可以包含了不少往事忆记，新意源头，纠缠事物的顿悟，或是迷惑困局的开示。捕捉这些剎那的闪现，成为了卜百贺的艺术探索。

作为职业外交官，卜百贺数十年来一直深藏着他的艺术抱负，正藉他快将离任德国驻港总领事之际，他再次在精艺轩画廊举办他的第二次个展，并以告别香港。

是次展览将展出的十六张近作，风格仍采用抽象表现主义手法，内容反影画家对亚洲特别是日本与香港的情意结。

“剎那” 展期为二Ｏ一Ｏ年六月二日至廿五日。

卜百贺 生于德国慕尼黑。在学法律之同时，他亦利用晚上时间到美术学院进修。学成后，选择执业律师，随后加入德国外交部，并被派驻世界不同地方。

期间，他对艺术的追求从未间断，曾参与不同联展及个展。一九九七、九八及九九年，他分别在伦敦 Studio Gallery 举办个展，于二ＯＯ一年亦在Poole 的 Study Gallery 举办个展。作品被德国、英国、西班牙及法国藏家收藏。

FLASHES——Works by Frank Burbach

June 2nd to 25th, 2010

Art Beatus Gallery

50 Peel Street, Ground Floor, Central, Hong Kong

The artist will attend the opening reception

6pm - 8pm on Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Flashes in life can be spark recollection of past memories, impulsive hint of fresh ideas, sudden enlightenment of tormenting entanglements or unexpected revelation of lingering mysteries. All these should be counted as godsends and Frank Burbach has them captured to share.

Burbach, a career diplomat from Germany who has unwillingly kept his artistic aspirations at bay for decades, has returned to Art Beatus Gallery for his second solo exhibition before bidding adieu to Hong Kong.

On show are sixteen of his most recent works, which took away most of his spare time over weekends and holidays. The exhibits, in abstract expressionistic style, recount his fond rendezvous with Asia, Japan and Hong Kong in particular.

The exhibition runs from June 2nd to 25th, 2010.

Frank Burbach was born in Munich, Germany, where he studied Law and simultaneously took courses at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Practicing as a lawyer first, he later serves as a diplomat for Germany in various countries.

Frank Burbach continues to paint and participates in various group and solo exhibitions. In 1997, 1998 and 1999, he had his solo exhibitions at Cable Street Studio Gallery, London, and in 2001, The Study Gallery, Poole. His paintings are in various private collections in Germany, England, Spain and France.
