[art]: The silent waiting

The silent waiting, 2008, oil on canvas, 90 x 120 cm

Living in a fast-moving city, the faster we act, the longer and harder we feel while we are waiting. Everyday, I spend time on waiting for lift, waiting for bus to work, waiting for leaving the office, waiting for bus to go home. When I am waiting for bus, I see others are waiting also. When I am on the bus and passing through the bus stops, I see others are waiting also. It is a common experience for many of us living in a city, yet we usually do not realize.

Many people, include me, are impatient while waiting. However, when I put myself out of the waiting situation, somehow, I feel the scene of waiting attract me so much. The motionless silence creates a sense of poetry and another beauty of the city. I appreciate the slight silent sensation in such a hustling city, which they are contrary to each other and coexist in the same scene.

This is my first art work created in CKWL. To myself, I found something out of my expectation before which I enjoyed very much, yet somehow this work is not a very complete one. Keep painting.

[Art Reacting Thought]: 任性

從小到大，在電視電影裡看到的，在日常生活言談間提到的，有關於任性這個詞，也都好像只有貶意。

"你太任性啦! 剩係識得顧住自己，完全冇理其他人既感受......"
"佢成個大小姐咁，真係任性 ......"

我絕對不是一個任性的人 (請注意我不是在稱讚自己)，不過，自從學習藝術後，我會讓自己在繪畫上任性一下。任性，從字面上看，就是任由自己的性情而行。在畫畫的過程中，我會隨性而作筆，一時間跟著直覺去做很大的改動。有時候，結果令人喜出望外，就似是有著神來之筆。但有很多時，都是不甚滿意。不過，油畫的特別之處，就是可以塗上一層又一層。所以，我會靜待表層乾了之後，再動手。雖然，在蓋上多一層的時候並不會完全覆蓋下一層的 "錯誤"。然而，就是多層交叠後的效果更感覺豐富、實在。

任性的結果總是控制不到的，所以我畫每一幅畫的時間都比其他人長，但過程就是自己擁有的。
