《The Songs of Nature》

關於展覽 ／ About Exhibition :

是次展覽創作靈感以大自然的微妙為主體。繪畫一些特徵以實踐藝術，分別建立在觀察、經驗、情感和感官回憶的基礎上，亦源於對自然世界的熱愛，讚嘆大地和海洋的美。 作品帶有隱喻性質，她希望通過每位觀眾獨有的閱歷以重新詮釋它們，賦予它們嶄新的意義。這些畫作是透過深入研究她人生旅程中的回憶、事件和地點而創作的。她描繪了讓人驚嘆的理想遠景，想像中空靈的世界，充斥了青春氣息、貝殼和沙子、魔法和星塵，這是一個讓人迷失自我、夢想中可到達的地方。

The inspiration and cornerstone guiding her artistic practice is the subtle expressive beauty of nature. The subjective and interpretive character of the paintings are fundamental to her art. These two series are built upon observations, experiences, emotions and sensory recollections, emerging from a heartfelt attachment and love for the natural world. They celebrate the beauty of land and sea. Her work is often metaphorical, rather than specifically representational. She wishes it to be reinterpreted through the unique stories of the viewers. These paintings are created by delving into remembrances, events and places which mark her continuing journey, each inspired by childhood memories, recalled feelings or momentary stops in her nomadic life. She portrays idealistic vistas that invite awe and wonder, imagined scapes of ethereal places, a world of youth and innocence, seashells and sand, magic and stardust—a place to lose oneself and dream of what may come.

Amrita Tandon is a contemporary artist whose work is greatly influenced by her nomadic life. She has lived across the length and breadth of India and in vibrant cities like Tokyo, Dublin, Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore and now Hong Kong, each having expanded her creative horizon. Armed with exacting standards, creative exposure and attention to detail garnered from a career in advertising, she turned her skills to painting full-time. Her artworks incorporate memories and musings. She constantly photographs and jots down things that pique her interest. A phrase read, the cadence of rain or the scent of a woodfire wafting on the breeze may become the jumping-off point for a new painting. What she portrays and the palette she uses are a window into her mind. By exploring different aspects of nature and man, from the mighty to the mundane, she chooses to perceive and thus convey the elation and glory of existence. Her paintings are about the pleasure of seeing, as well as finding a place and moment of quietude and connection.
