簡介

       香港大學饒宗頤學術館將舉辦「藝道同行II」展覽系列，展出與饒宗頤教授於上世紀六十至八十年代在省港有極深交往，並在藝術創作上互相切磋砥礪的四位藝術家之作品。四位藝術家包括劉秉衡先生（1915-2003）、丁衍庸先生（1902-1978）、趙少昂先生（1905-1998）及吳子玉先生（1930-2017）。

       該系列的第一個展覽將展出劉秉衡先生之藝術作品，其中並有一件為饒教授與他的合作作品。

       劉先生與六榕寺「國畫研究會」早期的一些畫人，如潘至中、李研山、姚粟若等人多為熟悉，繪畫很受他們影響。而他的兄長劉玉林亦是六榕寺畫會會員，故劉先生作品亦如他們一樣，宗法元四家，而參入明末四僧，尤其是石濤上人的筆意與章法。

       先生與饒教授早在上世紀五十年代即相識，在七、八十年代過從更密；他與楊善深及黃苗子兩先生同年，三人時常與饒教授茶聚，偶然亦相與論藝，雖然大家的師法各異，但是並不影響談論之樂。

       今次展出作品，大部分由今觀復堂借出，而與饒教授合作作品，則由香港大學饒宗頤學術館借出。

The Companionship of Art II (i)

– Exhibition of Artworks by Liu Bing-heng

Introduction

In this year, Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole of The University of Hong Kong will organize a series of exhibitions – “The Companionship of Art II”, displaying artworks by four artists who had a profound friendship with Professor Jao Tsung-i between the 60s and 80s of the 20th century, including Mr. Liu Bing-heng (1915-2003), Mr. Ding Yanyong (1902-1978), Mr. Zhao Shao-ang (1905-1998), and Mr. Wu Hao (1930-2017).

The first exhibition of the series will present Mr. Liu Bing-heng’s art pieces, and one of the exhibits is a collaborative painting with Professor Jao Tsung-i.

Mr. Liu learned from some early-stage painters from the Painting Society of the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees, such as Pan Zhizhong, Li Yanshan, and Yao Suruo, etc., and his painting style was highly influenced by them. Liu Yulin, his elder brother, was also a member of the Painting Society. And therefore Liu followed the brush and ink of the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty as the members did, integrating the essence of the Four Monks of the late Ming period, particularly the brushwork and composition of Monk Shitao.

Liu had become acquainted with Professor Jao in the 50s of the 20th century, and they maintained close contact in the 70s and 80s. He was of the same age as Mr. Yang Shanshen and Huang Miaozi, and the three of them often had get-togethers with Professor Jao to exchange ideas and share experience on art. Even though they modeled themselves after different masters, that didn’t deprive them of the pleasure of discussion.

In this exhibition, most of the artworks are from the collection of Present Guanfu Studio, and the collaborative painting with Professor Jao belongs to the Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole of The University of Hong Kong.
