“山水画”是东方艺术家对描绘风景内容的作品的统称，不一定是对实景的写生，往往极可能只是艺术家们内心的丘壑。水禾田用摄影机去捕捉人与景，近卅年来，经已是深入民心了，在“高山流水”山水画展览中，他改用丙稀油彩简约地描绘着他的山水，这是他的一种新尝试。
在艺术圈子中，水禾田的这个名字几乎是相等于摄影、广告制作、导演及旅游家。数年前，他开始用水墨作画，作品别开生面，这次再用油彩，是他对自己的另一种挑战。
这次展出的作品带有极浓的“极少主义”感觉，无论在色调与笔触，水禾田把变化减至最少；他把大自然磅礡之气势，用相同色调但不同深浅的色块，再配上精简的白线条，呈现于画布上。经常体验大自然的他，深度地提升出山水的精华，用极具魅力的技巧，描绘下他内心的景观。
水禾田生于中国广东省南海县，早在一九七Ｏ年初已出道，获奖无数，曾于不同报章及杂志写专栏，与出版摄影集，画集与游记。在二ＯＯ六年更成为联合国教科文组织拍摄世界文化遗产有关中国的部份的制作人。
水禾田的创作意念：
高高的山，飘渺的白云，偶尔听流水，
大地含情，默默无言，
我爱，天地灵秀。

Running Water Mountain High
Acrylic Shan-Shui paintings of Water Poon

Water Poon is not an unfamiliar name in Hong Kong’s art scene. Three decades of untiring and multi-facet artistic endeavours have made him an almost synonym to photography, art, travel, design and film production.
His latest challenge is acrylic “Shan-Shui” paintings on canvas. In the works to be on show in “Running Water Mountain High” exhibition at Art Beatus Gallery, Poon skilfully captured the essences of majestic mountains and sceneries with the minimal variations in colours and brush strokes.
Shan-Shui paintings of oriental artists harbour deeper connotations and are very different from the landscape paintings of their occidental counterparts. The paintings are not mere artistic reproductions of certain landscapes. They are frequently the philosophical interpretation of the creators of their environs, their mindscapes.
Poon’s acrylic Shan-Shui is clearly an extension of his ink Shan-Shui paintings, which he started a few years ago. The new works are more clean-cut. The minimal treatment in depiction aims to catch and bring forth the deep tranquillity of Mother Nature rather than to explore the complexity of the scenery.
Artist’s Statement:
Running Water Mountain High
The jagged mountain rises above the thin veil of fleeting clouds in all her majesty.
Faint sound from the nearby stream breaks the Great silence.
Nature is speechless but I could feel her passion.
I am in awe and in love with the Great Spirit. -- Water Poon
