十八年來，羅世長一直在寫他自學成材的油畫作品，一直在寫他熟悉的溫哥華山山水水，一直在探索對這些山水的表現手法。
我們實在不願類別他的作品為風景畫，相信他自己也不願把作品定性屬這一類。他的作品，題目都是以開始創作那張作品的那一天來定名；他的畫，沒有傳統風景油畫的精工細琢，沒有印象派的厚色重彩，也不盡是傾訴心中情懷的憑空思憶。色彩淡樸，筆觸輕盈，羅的創作遊走於具象與抽象之間。他的作品驟眼看來，輕鬆寫意，純靜安逸，接近大自然；但仔細觀察後，不難發現畫面是經過慎密鋪排，才被精練地展現在畫布上。曾受人類學及博物館學的心思細密訓練，羅世長採用接近卻又不同的色塊去描繪叠叠遠山，然後再補上樸實的水天景色，讓這些看似寫實的油畫水山，引領觀眾進入另一個景界，進入了抽象表現藝術的範疇。
羅世長生於日本，在台灣成長，於台灣大學人類學畢業後，再在加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學人類學系及多倫多大學博物館學系取得碩士學位，他在多倫多皇家安大略博物館工作十年後，在一九八九年與妻兒移居溫哥華，全情投入藝術創作。迄今他在加拿大、日本及台灣已舉辦過廿多次個展。
“天地有情”展覽將在七月六日至廿七日於精藝軒畫廊展出，有關畫展詳情可電郵 dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk 或致電 2522.1138 向Dominic Chan 或 2526.0818 向 Josephine Hau 查詢。

Landscape Forever
Oil paintings of Lo Shyh-charng
Art Beatus Gallery
35-39 Graham Street, Ground floor (near Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace)Central, Hong Kong
Exhibition period: July 6 to July 27, 2007
Artist will attend the opening ceremony at 6:30 to 8:30pm on July 6, 2007
Press Release
In most of his paintings, Lo Shyh-charng has successfully imbedded an intrinsic energy that aims to induce the viewers to explore beyond the apparent imageries on the canvases.
The colour fields that vividly replicate the sceneries that Lo wished to depict at some specific moments of time, the way how he applied the subtle and pastel pigments as well as the final presentation of the finished works are actually the real quests for him time after time. His works bear striking similitude to the abstract expressionistic works, especially those of late Mark Rothko.
We name this exhibition Landscape Forever for the reasons that the exhibits were depicting actual locations around Vancouver, and Landscape painting is a convenient starting point for art-lovers to appreciate Lo’s works. The literal quality of the word, Forever, denotes the enjoyment of our gallery in showing these works.
Our gallery has much reservation in classifying most of Lo’s works as landscapes and people who have seen his works tend to agree. Some exhibits are paintings of scenery but most works come closer to abstract, with fields of adjacent colours, and are strongly expressionistic, covered with sensitive brushstrokes of the artist.
Born in Japan, grew up in Taiwan, trained as an anthropologist and musemologist in Taiwan and then in Canada, Lo is a self-taught artist. For 18 years, he has been fine-tuning his style full time after quitting his job with the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto in 1989 and moved to Vancouver with his family.
Art Beatus Gallery is located at 35-39 Graham Street, ground floor, Central. For further information about this exhibition or to interview the artist, you can e-mail us at dyiu@artbeatus.com.hk, or call either Dominic Chan at 2522-1138 or Josephine Hau at 2526-0818.
