Gone are the bold colours which filled the canvases of Gaylord Chan for over thirty years. They have now retreated into the shade, and much more intense, energetic forms in tones of black and grey are taking over. The abstract art patterns that appeared in his previous works have started to reinvent themselves in a new, monochromatic context. The black and white effect on his imageries is all the more definite as well as emotionally more intense. This exhibition catalogue documents a new stage in the artistic development of Gaylord Chan. Artist’s biography is included.



過去的30多年裏,陳餘生的畫布上皆綻放着繽紛的色彩。俱往矣,它們如今已退居暗處,取而代之的是強烈、動態的灰黑色塊。在新的單色背景襯托下,以往的抽象藝術模式發生了蛻變。新作的黑白效果使意象呼之欲出,而感情效果也愈加強烈。從本圖錄的作品看來,陳餘生的藝術創作已進入新的階段。本圖錄亦載有藝術家的簡歷。
