Memories of Richmond – Paintings by Horae Jiang
Featuring landscape and abstract paintings by Richmond-based artist Horae (Chunbo) Jiang.
Lipont Gallery will be showcasing dozens of recent paintings by Richmond-based artist Horae Jiang. Jiang was born in Ningbo, China in 1971. She moved to Guangdong with his parents at the age of seven. She graduated from Guangdong Provincial Institute of Education and completed the advanced research class of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. In 2003, she moved to Taiyuan, Shanxi, and immigrated to Canada in 2022. Jiang is a professional painter with thirty years of experience in college art teaching. She is a member of the Shanxi Provincial Artists Association, and a member of the Men in Hats art group in Richmond, BC. She currently works and lives in Richmond.
The twenty-five paintings in the Memories of Richmond Series were created in Richmond and Vancouver within the last two years. Like many new immigrants, the artist went through a period of loneliness and discomfort when she first arrived. Later, the beautiful scenery of Richmond and Vancouver relieved most of her depression. During the day, she drove along the beach and returned home at night to record what she saw and felt with her brush.
“ ‘Immersion’ is a beautiful word, which means to devote yourself to a state of selflessness. Nature and music are always the most effective healers. Artistic creation can give a place to the heart that has nowhere to rest. Beauty is something that is expressed by sensory perception or imagination. My works record the trajectory of emotional movement and use nature and music to express fragments of vision and memory in a realistic or abstract way. Some works directly get rid of natural forms and try to use lines and geometric shapes to express the experience of reality through virtuality and reality.” – Horae Jiang 2024
【列治文记忆】– 2024蒋春波绘画展
开幕：2024年11月20日星期三7-9pm
温哥华力邦美术馆偕画家蒋春波，向大温哥华地区观众呈现其近两年完成的几十幅绘画作品。蒋春波1971年生于中国浙江宁波，七岁随父母移居到广东，毕业于广东省教育学院，广州美术学院高研班结业，2003年移居山西太原，2022年移民加拿大。蒋是职业画家，有三十年高校美术教学经验，山西省美协会员，加拿大国际水彩协会会员，卑诗省列治文市Men in Hats艺术团体成员，现工作生活于卑诗省列治文市。
【列治文记忆】的25幅作品创作于列治文和温哥华。像每个新移民一样，画家刚抵达温哥华时心理上经历了一段孤独不适的时光。温哥华美丽的风光缓解了她大部分忧郁。白天她开着车沿着海边游走，晚上回到家用画笔记录所见所感。
“ ‘沉浸’是个美好的词，意味着全身心投入进入了一种忘我的状态。大自然和音乐永远都是最为有效的疗愈剂，艺术创作可以让无处安放的内心有了再现之地。美是对感官知觉或想象力所表现出来东西。我的作品记录的是情绪运动的轨迹，借自然和音乐或写实或抽象地表达了视觉与记忆里的片段，有些作品直接摆脱了自然形态，尝试用线条和几何形通过虚实表达了对现实体验。
最后借用师母高伟川作品《灵魂之歌》里的一句话：“一幅作品首先是艺术家心灵的自画像，是对神圣事物的对话，就如同一个人祷告什么就表达了这个人为什么而活的价值观，画家的内心生活其实就是一首灵魂之歌。” – 蒋春波 2024
