a.m. space欣然呈獻五月黃琮瑜個展：《麗麗之墨無盡》。從傳統走到科技，從過去奔向未來，大概在時空中總有這樣的一個節點，既是過去之所滙，又是輻射未來的起步點，好比回溯一隻彩蝶的過去，總能找到這樣的一個蛹，它是蠶與蝶的轉折點，曾經同時讓蠶與蝶共存於其中， 成了兩個狀態滙合及過渡的關口。 黃琮瑜接近20年的藝術創作成了拇指上的一道指紋，清楚按印在這個節點之上，他的創作前接筆墨紙絹的傳統展現，後續數碼科技的實驗開拓，自2005年起已是首位從事數碼水墨創作的藝術家。黃琮瑜乘這次展覽展出了近年的手繪水墨畫新作，以及透過「離心一墨」繪製的數碼水墨畫，展期由五月二十一日展至六月十八日。
藝術家首個NFT作品－別了老冬 又綠江南頭
"別了老東，又綠江南頭"是黃琮瑜利用軟件完成的第五件主要畫作，亦屬離心一墨創作系列內第一件以NFT形式發售的作品。 作品以半抽像及大筆渲染的方式配合局部細描，營造了藝術家印像中春臨大地的景像。畫面內所有濕染、筆觸效果、以及紙張紋理全由軟件營造， 標誌了水墨創作的另一個方向。作品圖像面積11812像素闊及3544像素高， 解像度300dpi，打印面積100厘米闊及30厘米高。作品將於Open Sea平台上公開發售，詳情稍後公佈。
「離心一墨」是近年黃琮瑜微調了創作方向並調動全部精力將過往所知所學匯編而成的一套水墨繪畫軟件，軟件開放予大眾使用，是一種將數碼水墨的畫筆由自己手上交到所有人手中的做法，這既是另一層次的創作，亦展示了在這個時代身處如此節點的一個人所能做及該做的事。是次展覽中傳統手藝及科技交會於此時、此地，它流露了對傳統水墨的敬崇、以及對科技介入的張惶及雀躍。
Wong Chung Yu Solo Exhibition “The Endless Beauty of Ink”
Date | May 21 (Sat) - June 18 (Sat)
Time | 10:00am - 07:00pm
Address | Room 602, 6/F, Winfull Commercial Building, 172 Wing Lok Street, Sheung Wan
a.m. space is pleased to present Wong Chung Yu Solo Exhibition “The Endless Beauty of Ink”. The exhibition will run from May 21 to June 18 and exhibits Wong Chung Yu’s handcrafted ink paintings in recent years, as well as the digital ink paintings created by Pure ink, a painting software developed by the artist with a mission to bridge the gap between this traditional Asian art form and digital media. The traditional craftsmanship and the technology meet in this moment and this place. It expresses the respect toward traditional ink art and the anxiety and excitement about technology intervention.
Wong Chung Yu's nearly 20 years of artistic creation has become a fingerprint on the thumb, which is clearly stamped on this node. His art inherits the traditional spirits of Chinese brush, ink, paper, and silk, and extends the exploration to the edge of technology. He has been the first artist to explore digital ink art since 2005. In recent years, Wong Chung Yu has fine-tuned his direction and mobilized all his energy to establish an ink painting software, namely Pure ink, by integrating his experiences and knowledge gained in these 20 years of art creation. This software is open to the public for use and it is the way he passes his digital brush from his hand to the hand of everyone else. This is not only another level of creation, but it also shows what a person standing on this node can do and should do in this era.
First NFT art of Wong Chung Yu
The show also marks the official launch of Wong’s very first NFT art on Open Sea. The work “Farewell the Winter, the Spring Arrives Jiangnan”, created with Pure Ink, portrayed the poetic scenery in Jiangnan when Spring arrived and the revival of nature. The work is semi-abstracted and rendered in broad strokes with partial detailing, all of the wet stains, brush strokes, and paper textures on the screen are created by the software. The dimension of the painting is 11812 x 3544 px with 300 dpi.
From tradition to technology, from the past to the future, there is probably always such a node in time and space, which is not only the convergence of the past but also the starting point to project the future. This is just like looking back at the life of a butterfly. We can always find such a chrysalis. It is a turning point between a silkworm and a butterfly. It once allowed the silkworm and butterfly to coexist in it at the same time.
