簡介

扎根於洛杉磯的美國畫家Lee Waisler,以木條及不同顏色的組合繪畫出多元的歷史及當代人物肖像。他在畫布上塗上厚厚的顏料,一層又一層,然後加上具象徵意義的天然物料,例如沙代表時間;木代表生命;玻璃代表光線等,這一系列物料創造出極具活力而富質感的畫作。

Waisler於1960年代開始作畫,其早期作品均涉及社會及政治話題,觸及不同的重大歷史事件,包括第二次世界大戰時納粹對猶太人的大屠殺、越南戰爭,及民權運動。後來,Waisler的創作開始反映他對東方哲學與日俱增的興趣,亦因此變得越來越抽象。九十年代中期,一次印度之旅令其作品走向形式化,逐漸遠離純抽象的風格。2005年起,他全力專注於肖像畫。Waisler繪畫的對象包括不同領域的代表人物,包括愛因斯坦、瑪麗蓮·夢露、劉曉波及弗吉尼亞·伍爾夫。

Waisler的作品珍藏於紐約大都會藝術博物館、倫敦維多利亞與阿伯特博物館、台拉維夫美術館、紐約布魯克林美術館、華盛頓史密森尼博物館、法國國立圖書館、新德里國家現代藝術展覽館,及加爾各答印度博物館。

Art & The City - About Faces by Lee Waisler March 2011

Waisler known for his socially and politically charged works deal with the Holocaust, Vietnam War and the civil rights movement. His works soon began to reflect his growing interest in Eastern philosophy, and accordingly, became increasingly abstract. It was after Waisler's journey to India in the mid-90s that his works moved toward figuration and away from pure abstraction.

There are about 20 portraits of famous individuals arriving at Hollywood Road painted by the American artist Lee Waisler. The subject of these paintings are distinguished people from various fields. But the most striking characteristic of these paintings is the artist's usage of mixed materials -such as wooden sticks, sand and glass onto the thick acrylic paints- to allow the painting to present a totally different texture from the traditional paintings.

Very large close-ups of faces greeted viewers entering Lee Waisler's recent show . . . It is often said that a portrait is as much a picture of the artist as of the sitter, and through his selection Waisler implies that their collective outlook on life is indeed is own philosophic self-portrait.

Preview: Here and Now at Sundaram Tagore Gallery March 2009

Hence the title of his gallery's latest group exhibition by 18 international artists, which opens today at the Sundaram Tagore Gallery's Hong Kong branch.

"These 'philosophical discussions' are fundamental to Tagore's vision for his galleries, or 'cultural spaces' as he prefers to call them. Unlike galleries that buy and sell art solely as a monetary transaction, Tagore has a mission to create a global community of artists and foster a dialogue between Western and non-Western cultures."
