  Press Release

  Hand gestures are potent expressive instruments. They often come out stronger than words of mouth. In the up-coming exhibition in April, Speechless, at Art Beatus Gallery, Beijing-based artist Liu Xuejun manipulates the usage of hand forms as his creative icons for messages that he wishes to convey.

  For hundreds of years, the hand signs of Buddhist statutes have been relating soul-soothing teachings. Such gestures of the hand need no further explanation with words. In his series of exhibits, Liu applied the same concept but differently. His hands, some of them distorted to accentuate his statements, were depicted to voice his speechless frustration, cynicism as well as anger.

  Liu's works, some of them in the propaganda poster format with highlighted slogans, are to reflect his sensitive observations of his environs and to articulate his attitudes on issues of the days of our life. He simply lets the fingers do all the talking.

  Born in Henan Province in 1960, Liu initially honed his skills in the studios of various top Beijing oil teachers in the late 1980’s. Then, he returned home and finished his studies at the Fine Art Department of the Henan University. Liu said that he was particularly interested in the styles of realism, photo-realism, surrealism and expressionism and viewers can easily find them in his works.

  Art Beatus Gallery is located on the ground floor of 35-39 Graham Street, Central, near the junction with Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace (SOHO Area).

  For further information about this exhibition or interview with the artist, you can either e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine Hau at 2526-0818.

  Gallery hours: Mon. thr. Saturday, 11:30am-7:30pm, close on Sundays & public holidays.

  手语是非常有力的表达形式,往往能言善达。数百年来,佛像惯用手印来传法,无言地导人向善。北京画家刘学军使用不同手语作为他的创作符号,演绎、反映及细说他对一事一物的敏锐感觉,反思并描绘出他的内心世界。在三月底,精艺轩画廊将展出《手若能言》系列油画作品,展示刘学军在这方面所投放的精力。

  刘学军画的手在攥拳头时,表情细腻,视觉形象刻画得十分生动。豊富的感情,呼之欲出,富有独特表现力,部份画面结合清晰的标语、口号,对现实生活轻松调侃,传达着鲜明的时代感。

  刘学军的创作表达方式明确,拥有画家的敏锐触觉及对现实的独立观察和判断;他的大部份作品是他对中国现实历史转型期的亲身感受,是他对自身文化的反省。他的画在传达强烈而明确的信息,是他对所指事物现象的本质的看法,再透过相近于广告宣传画的方式传递信息。

  刘学军1960年出生于河南省,八十年代在北京接受中央美术学院讲师苏高礼、马常利的艺术指导,曾获星星画展主将之一黄锐的艺术指点,并与北京当地艺术家一起进行创作。在考入河南大学美术系学习期间,曾主修版画专业,进行大量版画创作,对德国表现主义版画甚感兴趣。在学期间,对历史学、文学、政治学颇感兴趣,自觉对将来从事批判性艺术打下一定的修养基础。大学毕业后常往返于北京河南之间,与北京的艺术界保持了密切联系,不断进行艺术创作。早期曾运用写实主义、表现主义、照相写实主义、超现实主义的艺术理念和形式进行绘画探索。

  好的视觉艺术作品能让观众随时随地跨越种族与地域,获得共同感受,促进人与人之间互相了解,拉近距离。现实世界令人缺乏安定感,艺术家的绘画作品正是在为人们提供着一种心灵补品,为人的“心灵”补充阳光而默默耕耘。刘学军就是一位在这方面坚持走自己的创作路线的人。

  精艺轩画廊位于中环嘉咸街35号地铺(近荷李活道与摆花街交界)。
