郭向新：心境攝影在“天地之間”

Kok Heng San: State-of-Mind Photography“Between Heaven and Earth”

文澳雯 Ao Wen 譯曹宇光 Cao Yuguang

由澳門基金會主辦的澳門藝術家推廣計劃：“天地之間——郭向新心境攝影系列”展覽于2月10日至20日在澳門教科文中心展覽廳舉辦，展出澳門藝術家郭向新的精選作品共60件，同場首發(fā)《天地之間——郭向新心境攝影系列》影集。

開幕式主禮嘉賓包括澳門中聯(lián)辦文教部副部長級助理邵彬、外交部駐澳特派員公署公共外交和新聞部主任鄭新友、澳門基金會行政委員會主席吳志良、沙龍影藝會永遠榮譽會長黎榮照、數(shù)碼攝影學會名譽顧問鄭世強、美國攝影學會藝術會士王麗珠、澳門攝影學會會員大會主席郭敬文、美國攝影學會會士何根強及本次展覽作者郭向新。

因本次展覽作品多取材自一些生活中平凡或容易被人忽略的景物，故取名“天地之間”。展覽作品超過三分之二的作品于澳門創(chuàng)作，拍攝年份由1955年至今，記錄了不少澳門已消失的人事景物，也涵蓋了他不同時期的創(chuàng)作及攝影技巧。

郭向新表示，他的創(chuàng)作希望透過被拍攝景物之表象及內(nèi)在精神，將自己的心境與意念傳達給觀賞者，引人聯(lián)想及共鳴；在形式上則利用光線明暗的對比、圖形組合，形成一種特殊的效果，令作品富有藝術感染力，并散發(fā)出清新的韻律。

“Between Heaven and Earth—Kok Heng San’s State-of-Mind Photography Series” exhibition, part of “Macao Artists Promotion Plan” sponsored by Macao Foundation, was held at Exhibition Hall of Macao Center of Education, Science and Culture from February 10 till 20. Along with the exhibition consisting of 42 selected works by Macao artist Kok Heng San, the album “Between Heaven and Earth—Kok Heng San’s State-of-Mind Photography Series” was issued simultaneously.

Distinguished guests such as Mr. Shao Bin, assistant director of Department of Culture and Education of Central Liaison Office in Macao, Mr. Zheng Xinyou, director general of Department of Public Diplomacy and Information of Commissioner’s Office of Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Macao, Mr. Wu Zhiliang, president of Macao Foundation, Mr. Lai Weng Chio, eternal honorary president of Salon Photography Society, Mr. Cheang Sai Keong, honorary consultant of Macao Digital Photography Society, Ms. Wong Lai Chu, member of Photography Society of America, Mr. Kuo Keng Man, president of Macao Photography Society, Mr. Ho Kan Keong, artist of Photography Society of America and the author Kok Heng San, attended the opening ceremony.

As most pictures in this exhibition are taken from ordinary scenes or some objects prone to be neglected in daily life, the author adopted an extensive title “Between Heaven and Earth”. Over two thirds of the pictures were created in Macao and taken from 1995 up till now as a record of many disappearing elements in Macao as well as panorama of the author’s artistic creation and technique in photography in varied periods of time.

As Kok Heng San expressed, through the objects in the lens and its inner spirit, his creation tends to convey his own state of mind and intention to the audiences and remind of their imagination and sympathy. In his artistic formality, the contrast between light and shadow and graphic combination constitute an extraordinary effect that has endowed those pictures with artistic appeal and radiated a refreshing rhythm.
