Chris HUEN Sin Kan: Life in the temporary  禤善勤《每日一遍》

Chris HUEN Sin Kan
A life in the temporary

28 February - 29 March 2014

Gallery EXIT is pleased to present “Life in the temporary”, Chris HUEN Sin Kan’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

Interested in recording the nuances and variety of dwelling in a place, paintings are for Huen an extension of quotidian life. His approach to this medium carries both the experiential immediacy of sketching and the presence of painting. Usually large in scale, the works stand out as occasional renderings of his unceasing mediations and constant tracings of his immediately perceptible surroundings. 

For this exhibition Huen brings the viewer indoor, into his studio.  Domestic views of hazed calmness and contended inertia develop through fast and direct brushstrokes. Emptied from all the unnecessary details, these incidental and prosaic scenes appear suspended in the threshold between events half remembered and half forgotten. In this timeless buoyancy, fugitive inhabitants surface from the unprimed raw canvas support. All things are depicted without a firm sense of hierarchy; the background and foreground, subject and object are fused into one wholesome vista.

《每日一遍》

2014年2月28日至3月29日

安全口畫廊呈獻禤善勤首度與本畫廊合辦的個人展覽《每日一遍》。

著迷於記錄某地住處的細微末節及多樣變化，繪畫對禤氏而言是日常生活的伸延。他對這項媒介的處理手法同時具有速寫的即時性和繪畫的存在感，大型的作品突顯禤氏對周遭環境鍥而不捨的認知和沉思。

在展覽中，禤氏帶領觀眾進入他的工作室。運用簡潔俐落而直接的筆觸帶出作品裡寧謐安穩的日常風景。摒棄多餘的細節，這些看似乏味的場景存在於半回憶半被遺忘的狀態；在這個不受時間規限的空間內，若隱若現的人影浮現於未經加工的畫布上。所有一切都沒有等級制度、前景後景又或者主體客體之分， 所有一切都被熔合成單一風景圖。
