Landscape Paintings by Qiu Shihua and Lo Shyh-charng
May 12 - July 29, 2016
Qiu
Shi-hua is renown for his minimal landscape paintings,
which he has been sharing with the world for over
twenty years. The faded imageries on his works are
real challenges to most viewers. Spectators often have
to relax and let their feelings guide their vision in
order to achieve the enjoyment.
Qiu Shihua was born in 1940 in Sichuan Province, China. Qiu specialized in oil painting in the Xian Art Academy and graduated in 1962. He started showing his works in the west in 1985 in Dijion, France.
Lo Shyh-charng names each and every painting of his with the day he starts the work and thereafter he will keep approaching and adding onto the work as if it is a fresh canvas every time. This process only stops after he is totally satisfied.
Lo Shyh-charng was born in Japan, grew up in Taiwan, trained as an anthropologist and museologist in Taiwan and then in Canada, Lo became a self-taught artist. 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.
In Landscape +, we will show works of these two creative artists who have put into their paintings efforts that are much more than what meet the eyes.
邱世華的平淡而簡約的風景畫，對大部份觀眾而 言，均極具 挑戰性。要懂得欣賞，觀眾必須先放鬆自己，再讓感覺去引導自己的視覺。
邱 世華一 九四零年生於中國四川省，一九六二年畢業於西安美術學院油畫專業。第一個海外畫展於一九八五年法國第戎舉 行，隨後於歐美舉辦多次個展。他追求繪畫的極致，以最省簡的視覺資訊表達最豐富的視覺內容，讓觀眾在平淡的畫布中尋找出 無窮的變化。
羅 世長的每張作品總以他下筆的那一天來命名。隨後他每次都以從頭開始的心態去處理繪事，不斷添加直至滿意為止。
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。羅世長採用接近卻又不同的 色塊去描繪叠叠遠山，加上樸實 的水天景色，讓這些看似寫實的油畫水山，引領觀眾進入抽象表現藝術的另一景界。
Landscape + exhibition will open at Art Beatus Gallery on Thursday, May 12, 2016 and will continue until July 29, 2016.
