Exhibition Statement:
Drawing every day becomes Bobo’s habit. Sketching through her own brush strokes makes her feel relax and think about life. It is even more than a thousand words. Bobo had visited an exhibition named “Dream Chaser: Early Paintings of Professor Wucius Wong” two years ago. Professor Wong’s Exhibition inspired her a lot. His early works include plein air paintings in water-color and felt-pen, cartoonish drawings, checkerboard-like landscape, Klee-esque line-drawings, impressionistic harbor scenes painted with palette knives, journalistic portraits of daily life, etc. These are not solely personal expressions, but also reflections of a thoughtful artist who made sensitive observations of his surroundings. As a greenhorn studying Fine Arts in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Bobo sketches every day to record all the things around her. This is Bobo’s first solo exhibition. Each drawing is a page of her diary. She found that being a dream chaser on paper is the best way to encapsulate her aspiration for arts.

All are welcome to visit the exhibition during the Library's opening hours.

每天繪畫平凡的一事一物，已成習慣，以筆觸演練、思考生活，猶勝千言萬語。Bobo還記得兩年前於中大文物館看過一展覽《追夢者：王無邪教授早期作品展》，感受良多，並有所啟發。這段時期王教授的作品包括水彩及雙頭筆寫生、帶卡通風格的繪畫、棋盤狀構圖的風景畫、保羅・克利式的線描紀實日常，為自我的體現，更是慎思的藝術家對周遭作仔細觀察後所得出的反饋。作為一個學藝新丁，Bobo每天透過繪畫，留下一點點的痕跡。是次展覽為她的第一個個展，主要展示她近年的寫生及練習畫作，每一張畫就如一頁日記，每天她堅持在畫紙上追夢。
