Professor Jao regularly visited the Northwestern regions of China, including the Dunhuang area and Qinghai province since the 1980s. Throughout his travels, he made many sketches and came to realise that the distinct terrain and atmosphere could not be precisely portrayed using conventional techniques.
Upon returning to Hong Kong, he created several albums showcasing the landscape, with 𝘚𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢 standing out as the most representative. Later, this influential artwork became a catalyst for Professor Jao's proposal of the "Northwest School" of Chinese landscape painting in 2006.
Only 2 weeks left until the end of the exhibition! Make the most of your last chance to appreciate Professor Jao's masterful skills.
饒教授自1980年代起，因常到敦煌、青海等西北地區考察和遊覽，寫下不少速寫，發現當地的山水形態和氣勢獨特，並非傳統技法可準確描繪。回港以後，他因而描寫了數冊塞外風光，圖中的《塞上風雲冊》就為其一，《塞上風雲冊》也成為饒教授在2006年，提倡西北宗山水畫的一個引子。
展覽倒數最後2週！把握最後機會欣賞饒教授的精湛工藝。

An unprecedented exhibition of calligraphic texts and their rubbings that juxtaposes historic and contemporary artworks: 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴’ 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 · 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.
In Chinese history, inscriptions in stone, along with written copies and rubbings made to disseminate their meanings, frequently referred to the qualities and actions of kings. In our contemporary era, it is the work of self-proclaimed kings, such as the King of Kowloon and Frog King, among others, that captures our imagination.
The exhibition is intended to be both academic and playful. It emphasises the lasting significance of the written word, showcases the historic occurrences of important calligraphic texts and highlights the innovative contemporary use of Chinese characters to convey traditional values, cultural phenomena and personal expressions. The selection of artworks highlights various media, including the display of rubbings on stone, calligraphic works on paper and the incorporation of script on ceramics. Additionally, the contemporary art installations serve as carriers of both text and meaning.
「皇帝碑刻・當代啟迪」——首度將文字墨跡及其拓片與一系列古代和當代藝術並置的展覽。
中國歷史上，鐫刻在石碑上的文字墨跡及其拓片的廣泛傳播，通常都被用於頌揚帝皇的功德。然而至今，「九龍皇帝」和蛙王等人稱為王的當代創作者都有使用這些素材，從而拓寬了我們對碑刻藝術的想像空間。
本展覽旨在提供學術型與觀賞趣味並重的體驗。它強調文字書寫的雋永厚重，展示歷史上重要的書法創作發展。漢字作為承載著傳統價值觀、文化現象和個人表達的象徵，更啟發了本展覽對漢字的當代和創新應用。此外，展品遴選突出多元的藝術媒介，當中包括石拓片、紙本書法作品、瓷器上的書法墨跡，以及當代藝術裝置等，而所有作品都蘊涵著文字墨跡深厚的意義。

【A Landscape Painting Blending Chinese and Western Styles🌄中西合璧的山水畫】
In Professor Jao Tsung-i's painting 𝘚𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯, he used reddish-brown pigments and composed them in a way that is close to Western landscape paintings to depict the unique rugged terrain of the Grand Canyon. Painted in ink and depicting a foreign landscape, this composition beautifully exemplifies Professor Jao's understanding of the local geographic features and his presentation of the distinct local flavour through his own painting techniques.
By combining Chinese watercolour techniques with Western compositional methods, Professor Jao created a landscape painting style that blends features from both cultures.
Seize the opportunity to visit the Embracing Landscapes: The Artistic Journey of Professor Jao Tsung-i exhibition to gain insights into Professor Jao's mastery as a great artist.
在《大峽谷寫生》中，饒宗頤教授運用赭色顏料，以及貼近西洋風景畫的構圖方法，繪寫了大峽谷地勢險峻壯闊的特色。雖以水墨描畫外國景觀，但透過此畫能看出饒教授對當地景致特徵的領悟，以個性化的畫法呈現出該地的獨特風情。
通過結合中國水彩技法和西畫的構圖法，饒教授創造中西合璧的山水畫風。
