Father & Child

"Father & Child #01", Acrylic On Canvas, Year:2007(Private Collection)

One of my friends has commented that this series looks nice, so right here I would like to show them to you all… (show off, ha!)

The reason that made me want to paint this series was that - in my real life experience, I have always felt difficult to know what father’s love is.

So, first of all, I decided to show the father having a close relationship with the child by hugging, while the child enjoys the fatherly love. Hopefully through painting it, I could somehow have a self-discovery about their relationship on both sides.

“Father & Child #01” and “Father & Child #02” both show the cold colour -“blue” background (symbolizing cold, challenging environment); Yet under these “cold” circumstances, love still remains. Therefore I used pink colour to highlight the faces warmed with passion…

舞台

"Deep Rest", Acrylic On Canvas, Year: 2007(Private Collection)

每个人的一生就尤如一场戏一搬，而上帝则是唯一的观众。在日常生活里，我们的一举一动或一个决定，不论是对的决定或错的决定，周围的朋友和家人都多少会看在眼里，但他们却并不能完全客观的了解及分析你的问题。因为今天你所做的决定多少是被过去的经历影响，而未来即将发生的事又与今天或过去发生的事有关联。就这样的，我很怀疑这世界上是否真的有“知己”？相信真正的知己非人，是神！最终在人生的舞台上我们是演给神看，非人！若是演给人看，我们将会很累！因为他们并不了解你...除外，还会论断你！

童年小片段

在大芭窑五巷近熟食区的小游乐场，我记得好像身着与上图同样的一套衣裤鞋袜，异常矮小，大概只有三岁吧！...从第二级的圆形台阶上往下跳-“叭！”的一声，脚板着地，膝盖屈了一下，与此同时，高大的爸爸唯恐我会跌倒，便在一旁弓着身用双手试图扶我一把，并传来他带笑的声音-“哎哟！哈哈！”在不远的爬杆处爬得高高的大哥和二哥几乎同时向我叫唤-“阿jiao（海南话的“耀”字的近音)！过来这里玩！...。”这一小小的片段可算是我对童年的最早记忆吧！它可是异常珍贵的！

注一：在照片里所穿的T-shirt可不是普通款式的，记得在右边的肩膀上有两粒纽扣扣着，要脱衣只需解开纽扣便可方便脱出。除外T-shirt上也绣有小巧可爱又色彩亮丽的Ang Gong Gnia。

注二：呈条纹的袜子也是挺colourful的。

注三：头的形状四四方方的，故从小便有“四方头”的外号（好像是女佣替我取的）。
