英國二次世界大戰後最重要的具象畫藝術家之一—法蘭西斯˙培根，曾說：「肖像繪畫是經常想將人帶回來的方式」，精神分析大師佛洛伊德也說：「繪畫是生命事件與藝術家意志互動的結果」。
a.m. space欣然呈獻四月主題性策畫的展覽：《共同生活的人們》。展覽主題圍繞肖像，並邀請了八位藝術家，包括以描寫精神病院群像知名的藝術家朱興華、前新聞主播及藝術家張寶華、以描繪鄰人想像的台灣藝術家蔡依庭、代表香港參加第一屆威尼斯雙年展藝術家暨中文大學藝術系教授何兆基先生、香港藝術家杜海銓、林繁盛、黃嘉曦、以及港日混血藝術家西山瑞貴展出作品。展期由四月七日展至五月十五日。
肖像創作，畫中人物常常是藝術家的朋友或是生活中有牽連的人，然而不管是密友或是藝術家的委託人，畫者與畫中人物的關係，在有意識與無意識的悸動中，毫無隱蔽地表露千絲萬縷的情緒；畫者將人物置於一方框格內，其焦慮、悲傷、幸福或是不幸，糾纏在畫者的筆下，已成為一方人世的風景。
肖像繪畫是畫者借物隱喻表達對當下狀態的媒介，城市肖像、工作者群像，透過畫者表達對世界的理解與觀點。它刻畫了神秘莫測的人類心境，透過觸動人心的情感敘事，為觀者帶來愉悅迷人的視覺享受；透過極簡的視覺語彙，靜謐卻又振聾發聵期望喚起普世的共鳴；透過窒息的生活環境，與畫中人物相擁、借位，糾結成無法言喻解不開的謎團。

"Portrait painting is a way to bring people back often" Francis Bacon once said. In portraiture, the characters in the paintings are often the artist's friends or people with whom is involved in their life. Nonetheless, whether they are close friends or the artist's clients, the relationship between the artist and the characters in the paintings reveals a myriad of emotions without concealment in their throbbing of consciousness and unconsciousness. The artist places the characters inside a frame, and their anxiety, sadness, happiness or misfortune, entangled in the artist's brush, have become a landscape of the mortal world.
Portrait painting is a medium in which the artist expresses their understanding and view of the world through the metaphor of objects, cities and people. It portrays the mysterious and unpredictable human state of mind, bringing the viewer a delightful and fascinating visual enjoyment through a touching emotional narrative. Through minimal visual vocabulary, which is quiet yet deafening, it expects to evoke a universal resonance. Also, the suffocating living environment embraces and borrows from the characters in the paintings, entangling them into an unsolvable mystery.
