As the title suggests, the paintings by Zhu Yiyong are poetic rendering of classical Chinese women in traditional attire, created through the artist’s concern for details, brushwork and the interplay of light, colours, and texture. The use of artificial light makes the contrast between the brightness of the subject in the foreground and the dark background more prominent. It also has the effect of blurring the contours of the images, thus introducing a sense of softness and poetic mood in the paintings. This catalogue documents Zhu Yiyong’s first one-man show in Hong Kong. A biography of the artist is included.



朱毅勇這個系列的作品側重用詩意的手法來描畫古裝仕女,他在細節和筆法上苦心經營,並強調光暗、顏色和肌理的相互作用。畫中人工化的光線使前景中明亮的主題與晦暗的背景形成了強烈的對比,與此同時,圖像輪廓則愈顯得朦朧依稀,營造出柔美詩意的氣氛。本圖錄刊載了朱毅勇首次香港個展的作品及其簡歷。
