從一系列布簾的畫作去隱喻人性的好奇

「我們看見的所有事物都另藏別的東西…我們常想看到背後隱藏著的…神秘是虛無，是不明的…」－雷內·馬格利特

在新系列的油畫作品「布簾」帶著幻像的感覺，有一種神祕的氣氛。當神祕引發起好奇時，好奇就驅使我們去發掘更多背後的故事，於是布簾背後隱藏著的全是關係於人類的好奇，這常歸因於個人的心理狀態。什麼在布簾後沒有一個特定的答案; 但相信觀眾都背著種種不同的心理狀態來看待，若是他看到了花因他心中有花。是次展覽「幕後花絮」就是回應觀眾的好奇。

余佩珊生於香港，獲澳洲墨爾本大學純藝術文學士，主修繪畫。余氏創作的概念源於生活的親身感受和經歷，在學其間曾遠赴英國作生活體驗，透過繪畫從另一層面探索人類的習性。她常以隱喻的手法創作，用象徵性的影象多於直接描述。

A series of curtain painting as a metaphor of human curiosity

"Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. … Mystery is nothing. It’s unknowable…” -René Magritte.

In my latest series of painting “Curtain” always bring in feeling of illusion, an atmosphere of mystery. Once Mystery prompted curiosity, curiosity pushes us to discovery more about the hidden story, therefore what behind the curtain is all about human curiosity, which is always attributing to one’s psychological condition. There is no specific answer for this “what”; but believing there are multiple psychological conditions behind that could be either shared or rejected by different audience. One sees everything is flowers simply because he has only flowers in his mind. This show “Behind the Curtain” is to respond to the audience’s curiosity.

Yu Pui Shan born in Hong Kong, awarded Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art), Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, majoring in painting. YU’s paintings are influenced by her own experience in daily life; she has travelled to the UK during her study to observe and gain new life experience while further exploring the habit of humanity through art practice from different perspectives. She often uses symbolic imagery rather than direct representation in her paintings.
