𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 – A Solo Exhibition by CHAN Kwan-lok

Grotto Fine Art is delighted to present 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, a solo exhibition by Hong Kong artist 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗞𝘄𝗮𝗻-𝗹𝗼𝗸, running from March 8 to April 12, 2025. The exhibition focuses on CHAN's latest series of works, created using the traditional biamiao (fine brush painting) technique. Through delicate and refined lines, the artist explores the interplay between permanence and impermanence in nature, showcasing the rhythm of life and profound emotions within the landscapes.

The exhibition title, 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, draws inspiration from the novel of the same name by Yasunari Kawabata. In the novel, the fleeting sound of the mountain evokes a deep reflection on impermanence. Similarly, CHAN Kwan-lok turns to nature as a source of solace amidst personal experiences of loss, observing the cycles of life and decay in insects and plants. Using the biamiao technique, CHAN captures these subtle transformations, reinterpreting mountains as ever-changing living entities, revealing the interconnectedness and continuous flow of life in the natural world. As an essential form of traditional Chinese art, Biamiao emphasizes the use of line work to depict both form and spirit. In 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 , CHAN skillfully integrates this classical technique into a contemporary context, capturing the unspoken language of nature and the beauty of life's transitions.

The book offers a comprehensive look into the artist's creative journey and philosophy from 2019 to the present, providing an opportunity for audiences to gain deeper insight into CHAN's artistic practice.

《山之音》—— 陳鈞樂個人展覽

嘉圖現代藝術誠意呈獻陳鈞樂個展《山之音》，展期為2025年3月8日至4月12日。是次展覽聚焦於陳鈞樂以白描技法創作的全新系列作品，透過細膩的線條，詮釋山川自然中恆常與無常的交織，展現生命的流動與深層情感。

展覽名稱《山之音》靈感源自川端康成的同名小說。小說中提到的稍縱即逝的山的聲音，喚起了對無常的深刻思考。陳鈞樂在個人經歷中，於大自然中尋求情感寄託，觀察昆蟲的生滅與植物的枯榮，並以白描技巧記錄下這些微妙變化。他的作品重新詮釋山脈的形象，將山峰描繪為一個不斷變化的生命體，揭示自然界中萬物的相互依存與流轉之美。白描作為中國傳統藝術的重要表現形式，以線條為主，注重神韻的刻畫。在《山之音》中，陳鈞樂巧妙地將這一技法融入現代語境，捕捉自然的無聲語言與生命的變遷之美。

開幕酒會將於2025年3月8日（星期六）下午2時至6時舉行。此外，3月22日（星期六）下午2時至4時將舉行新書《人山人海》發布會，該書全面記錄了藝術家自2019年至今的創作歷程與理念，讓觀眾可深入了解陳鈞樂藝術實踐。

About the Artist

Chan Kwan Lok(b.1992) is keen on exploring the feasibility of lines through depictions of the motions of human and nature. Using rhythmic lines to construct a rigorous yet subtle framework, Chan portrays ordinary objects, people, and marine animals to create a whimsical fantasy. His works are part of the collection at the Hong Kong Museum of Art and are also held in private collections.
