馬維斯的“落與起”

文澳雯 Ao Wen 譯曹宇光Cao Yuguang

由澳門基金會主辦、官樂怡基金會協(xié)辦的澳門藝術(shù)家推廣計(jì)劃“落與起——馬維斯作品展”于7月12日至26日在官樂怡基金會畫廊舉辦，展出藝術(shù)家馬維斯繪畫作品30幅，同時(shí)首發(fā)《落與起——馬維斯作品集》。澳門基金會教科文中心代處長郭韋琪、官樂怡基金會社會文化部協(xié)調(diào)員甘帝德、展覽作者馬維斯和他的學(xué)生及藝術(shù)界友人出席展覽開幕式。

在談及展覽主題時(shí)，馬維斯說，展名源自去年4月他不慎跌倒，導(dǎo)致站立或坐著都感到劇痛而無法創(chuàng)作，所幸通過藥物治療后，痛楚逐漸減輕才能重新作畫，但目前只能創(chuàng)作一些比較小的作品。馬維斯自來澳后一直活躍于藝壇，參與大量展覽，其作品亦為眾多澳門及海外的私人或公共機(jī)構(gòu)所藏。近年來，馬維斯致力教導(dǎo)學(xué)生，傳授其獨(dú)特技藝，尤擅亞克力、水溶性顏料、中式墨、紙巾等繪畫技法。

“Fall and Rise—Denis Murrell’s Paintings” exhibition, part of “Macao Artists Promotion Plan” sponsored by Macao Foundation and cosponsored by Rui Cunha Foundation, was held at the gallery of Rui Cunha Foundation from July 12 till 26. Along with this exhibition consisting of some 30 selected works by artist Denis Murrell, the same-name album was issued simultaneously. Distinguished guests such as Ms. Susana Kwok, acting director of UNESCO Center of Macao Foundation, and Professor C·ndido Azevedo, coordinator of Department of Social Culture and Philanthropy of Rui Cunha Foundation, as well as the author, along with his students and friends in art circles, attended the opening ceremony.

According to the author, this interesting title comes from his painful experience last April when he had such a terrible fall that he was totally unable to continue his creation in either standing or sitting position. Thanks to some pills and treatment, his pain was greatly relieved and then he could restart some trivial works so far. Upon arrival at Macao, Denis Murrell has been active in art circles with massive participation into exhibitions, and his works have been collected by many private and public organizations both at home and abroad. In recent years, Denis Murrell has been devoted to lecturing his unique artistry to his students, especially the technique in adoption of acrylic, soluble pigment, Chinese ink and tissue.
