Ho Wing Tung Tina
Ho Wing Tung Tina, who was born and raised in Hong Kong after the 00s, is young who loves drawing. She always gets inspiration from the scenery she sees, films and television programs, and books. Creating artwork is her way of expressing feelings.
She currently studies at Hong Kong Baptist University Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Visual Arts. Her artworks encompass painting, illustration, experience design, etc. To convey the concepts, she is good at transforming the form and medium of drawing, for instance, integrating performance art into improvisational drawing and exploring the mark-making of charcoal to express emotions.
Her artworks have been influenced by her Christian faith since secondary school. Her works often involve storytelling that induces deep thoughts. She believes that art transcends the barrier of language and physical constraint of objects, so that viewers can be led to a specific time and space through the artworks.
何穎桐在香港土生土長，是喜愛繪畫的零零後年輕人。她習慣從看見的景物，影視作品和書獲取靈感。而創作是她流露情感的方式。
她現就讀於香港浸會大學視覺藝術系，作品涵蓋繪畫、插畫、體驗設計等等。她擅於突破繪畫的既有形式和媒界來呈現作品概念，如融合表演藝術於即興繪畫當中，和研究使用炭筆筆觸表達思緒等。
其作品自中學時期起富有基督教信仰的色彩，充滿故事性和深層思考。她認為繪書能超越語言表達和看得見事物的限制，使觀者能在特定時空與創作者交流。

Digital drawing printing on canvas
59.4 x 84.1 cm
Based on the theme of the fruit of Christian life, I drew this digital drawing of a tree under the wind and printed it on canvas. Fruit is a metaphor written in the Bible to describe the growth of a Christian. I was inspired by the tree in Kwun Tong Promenade, as I found the movement of the tree poetic on a windy day. I concentrated on the light and shadow of the tree and the chair and learned the treatment of light from the paintings of Claude Monet and George Shaw.
我使用電繪畫了這幅微風下的樹，列印在油畫布上，而主題是與象徵基音徒生命所結出的果子有關。這棵樹參考自觀塘海濱長廊的風景，它被種植在座椅上，在風中隨風飄逸，富有詩意。 我着重描繪樹的細節和光影的分佈，當中參考了Claude Monet和 George Shaw 繪畫時對光的處理。

Charcoal and pastel

There is a big cross and many sheep behind, one of the sheep had a different direction from the others. I was inspired by a Bible story ‘The Parable of the Lost Sheep’ in Luke 15:4-7. It is about Jesus saying that man has 100 sheep but loses one of them, when the man successfully finds the lost sheep, he is joyful. The lost sheep is the symbol of the repentance of a sinner to the Lord here. The mediums I used are charcoal and pastel and focuses on the mark-making of the sheep and the relationship between the sheep. For example, some heavy charcoal marks represent the movement of the sheep, and I used some straight lines to separate different sheep.
這幅畫映入眼簾的是一個巨大的十字架和無數的羊，而其中一隻羊朝向着與其他羊不同的方向。繪畫這作品時，我受到路加福音15章4-7節「迷羊的比喻」所啟發，是關於人有100隻羊，但丢失了一隻，找着了就非常歡喜。這裏的迷羊象徵罪人向主悔改，主在天上也要這樣為他歡喜。而這幅畫使用的媒介是炭筆和蠟筆，我着重描繪羊的筆觸和羊之間的關係，例如用了較重的筆觸和直線來表現他們的流動。

After I watched a talk video uploaded by Para Site, one guest shared that he used to be taught by Antonio Mak in drawing positive and negative space, which let me understand more how the personality of Antonio Mak was when he was alive. He was passionate in exploring the relationship of man and the world. E.g. He used furniture, chair to be the ruler of human. Those artefacts are designed to serve and remind people the nature of man. Therefore, I created this story book without any dialogue, to respond to Antonio’s work and concepts. Shadow is the symbol of existence of subjects in the drawings. Moreover, I observed that Antonio was always thinking the relationship of man and the world, used furniture and animals to be parts of his works, seem to question different philosophical questions himself. I tried to imply my thoughts through light and shadow in this story, which are the basic elements in the World.
從Para Site上傳的講座影片，令我認識到麥顯揚先生從前教導學生正負空間的方法，也加深了對他的認識。他熱衷於探索人與世界的關係，有時用一些傢私作為量度人類尺寸的工具，也更反映這些傢私例如椅子是為人而設。因此，我創作了這本繪本「Copycat」來回應麥先生的創作理念。 比較起實際存在的物品，影子都代表了人存在於世界，與它緊密的關係，我藉此來回應麥先生所提出的哲學問題，探索以世界的基本元素光與影來思考人的存在，和被光照着的意義。
