 　　安全口画廊将举行名为《朝海》的展览，展品包括香港艺术家黎卓华的新画作及曰本声音艺术家mamoru的作品。海洋幻变不定的形体和状态是两位艺术家的主要灵感。

 　　以画笔描绘反复覆绵密的形态是一项非常漫长而且费劲的工序，但黎卓华巧妙地补捉海浪一起一落、转瞬即逝的瞥然感觉。她经常以两种颜色来控制画中的色彩运用，突显出波浪涟漪里光与影的变奏效果。观众有若在凝视远方海岸线时骤然感受到吹拂而来的一种静谧感觉。

 　　声音艺术家mamoru在2007年9月15日，日本横浜市岸边的NYK仓库内进行了一场现场演奏录音。从远洋传来的阵阵响号声和拍打岸边的海浪声穿插整个演奏，并且与场内层层迭迭、起伏连绵的声音片断相互呼应和融合，抒写成一篇超越时间规范的海洋诗篇。

 　　黎卓华 (1983年出生)毕业于香港中文大学艺术系，作品曾在香港及美国各地展出。

 　　mamoru (1977年出生)以日本大阪市为工作基地。曾在日本以及国外的另类艺术空间、画廊和博物馆举行各项声音装置及即兴演奏。现为奥地利Kunstmeile Krems 的驻场艺术家。 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Sarah Lai + mamoru

Towards the Sea

 March 6 – April 18, 2009

Opening reception: Friday, March 6, 6:30-8:00pm

Location: Gallery EXIT, G/F, 1 Shin Hing Street, Central, Hong Kong

 Gallery EXIT is pleased to present Towards the Sea, an exhibition of new paintings by Sarah Lai and a recording by sound artist mamoru. The sea, in all its changing shapes and form, is a recurring theme for both artists.

 The work of repetitive mark making with a brush or pen is very slow and laborious, yet in her paintings, Lai skillfully captures the fleeting sensation of seeing a wave emerge and disappear. She often limits her palette to two colors in order to bring out rippling variations of light and shade. The image comes together with a sense of calming assurance while it draws the eye towards the distant horizon.

 Sound artist mamoru recorded a live performance on September 15, 2007 at the NYK warehouse on the coast of Yokohama, Japan. Throughout the performance, the sound of foghorns and waves crashing against the pier could be heard in the distance. Sound fragments are recorded, layered, and looped irregularly as they accumulated to form sonic textures that emerge and disappear, paying homage to the timeless sea.

 Sarah Lai (b.1983) is a painter living and working in Hong Kong. She graduated in 2008 from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and has since shown actively in Hong Kong and the U.S.

 Sound artist mamoru (b.1977) is based in Osaka. He constructs sound installations and improvisational performances at alternative venues, galleries, and museums both within Japan and abroad. He is currently at Kunstmeile Krems, Austria on an artist residency.
