“The Ambiguity between Reflection and Painting”
For Leo Gallery’s new space in Hong Kong, we launch P to P, a joint exhibition by Li, Shun and Yao, Peng. The aim is to explore the reciprocal and ambiguous relationship between photography and painting through the works of two artists.
Li and Yao originate from different backgrounds unlike one another. They both chose painting as their tool of expression, though their creative approaches differ. Li’s works include photography, digital calligraphy, drawing and painting to demonstrate his philosophical concepts. Yao uses collage and oil painting with the sense of photo imagery to narrate his stories.
Li creates his “Brave New World” series with his “Wandering System”. During pandemic, he was staying at home and to see the outside world with Google Map. He selected photo images online, and drew their hyper-realistic negative images by hand. Then he photographed these negative imaged drawings to recreate the positive photo images again. Its result deceives the camera, the computer and the audience.
Yao’s latest series, “The Fog of Time” features works up to three meters in length. His creative process is based on the digestion and recreation of images. He selects the online images that will trigger his eager of expression and painting and tries to perceive his world with a computer screen.
Both artists’ works integrate their life experiences, philosophies, traditional painting techniques and self invented creative methods.

“映像和繪畫的曖昧”
獅語畫廊發展至今，邁入另一個階段——香港新空間開幕，推出“映·畫”——李舜和姚朋雙人展，我們試圖通過兩位80後藝術家的作品闡述映像和繪畫之間互為表裏間及曖昧的關係。
兩位藝術家長大的地域和人文環境不一，他們同樣利用繪畫為創作載體，但創作立場卻有差異；李舜橫跨在不同的平面媒介上，攝影再造，繪畫，數碼書法等說明其哲學觀念。姚朋則是以油畫和拼貼為主，作品簡約的敘事中帶著痛快的繪畫性。
李舜為大家帶來“美麗新世界”系列，是其臥遊系統作品的一部分，疫情期間，藝術家因無法出門而萌生以谷歌地圖（Google Map） 代替物理出行來觀看世界和繪畫寫生，“正 - 反 - 正”，網上選取正像圖片 - 然後手繪極寫實的反像圖畫 - 再翻拍其繪畫為正像照片，完成欺騙相機，電腦和觀眾的歷程。
姚朋最新展出的系列“時間的霧”（The Fog of Time）部分作品達到兩三米長的大幅油畫，其創作宗旨皆源於影像的消化和再創造，同樣在網上選取影像以觸發藝術家熱切的表達與繪畫意欲，隱隱然如隔著一層螢幕地凝視外界。
兩位藝術家敏銳的思考和心手合一的繪畫技巧，對藝術創作的熱忱和探討更寬廣的可能性。
