An exhibition of women portrait by the young artist Lam Shiu Chi opened in Hong-Kong on December 18. The exposition was rather big: 60 portraits painted by the artist during various years of her work are present there. The artist works in many genres and her repertoire has some landscapes and still-lives but the portrait is her favorite genre. It is the genre she totally reveals herself as an original author with unrepeatable style.
Woman’s beauty is internal topic. How evanescent the human beauty should be the painting is able to make it eternal. Now we can contemplate the women images of the various epochs and many faces have entered the world history of painting. While the art exist the women images will exist too. The years passed, so did the styles and tastes and women faces changed on the paintings too. However, the woman‘s portrait has been a symbol of tenderness, sweetness and enigma in all times not depending on the fashion. These are the qualities that in the opinion of many and the painter herself are the characteristic for the woman.
The famous women of our epoch as well as strangers are shown on the portraits by Lam Shiu Chi. The artist didn’t want to create the "Hall of Glory", on the contrary, she has been interested in uncommon and mysterious faces, not the ones easy to recognize. Even the portraits depicting celebrities show them from the unusual angle. The artist achieves not only the portrait similarity but also the exact image, character or mood rendering of the depicted model. The paintings by Lam Shiu Chi are painted in tender light paints and are very decorative. The artist uses many additional elements: the flowers, birds, thin tree wigs and flying by the winds petals neighbor on the women figures on the portraits.
Time: December 18-30, 2010 Place: Hong-Kong, Wan Fung Art Gallery
