  • 「對一個年輕作家的作品和首次展覽有如此巨大的反響,這是前所未有的。展覽令人相當震驚,一眾藝評家、同事和收藏家們也都好品如潮。」——Karma畫廊主布倫丹·杜根(Brendan Dugan)

    王俊傑創造出色彩、線條、形式有力結合的夢幻繪畫世界。他綜合了非寫實表達、亮麗顏色及神秘元素,由此創造出了豐富且耐人尋味的風景,使觀者被沈思般的靜寂氛圍所包圍。藝術評論家John Yau形容他描繪出的風景為「幻覺般的朝聖之旅」。在藝術博客《Hyperallergic》中,他這樣說到:「王俊傑運用不計其數的線條、圓點、塗抹、以及短而濃厚的筆觸,引人用其獨特角度進入虛構景觀。作為一位筆觸細膩的製圖師,他一筆一畫、一點一滴讓人透徹地感受到翱翔於風景之中的暢快。」

     

    此次上拍作品《毀滅》,色彩鮮明,卻隱隱透露出憂鬱的吶喊。王俊傑一生備受抑鬱症的折磨。2019年,他在35歲時自殺,結束了自己年輕的生命。《廢墟》繪於2016年,是他於作品中融入人物的開端,逐漸過渡到在風景畫中描繪小人物。這一作品也標誌著他藝術生涯蓬勃發展的重要轉折。

     

    在輕盈而濃墨的筆觸下,他的作品親密並極具個人色彩。透過各個悲痛的人物形象暗示出騷動和不滿的情緒。王俊傑在那一時期內心面對的掙扎儼然呈現在作品中。他運用疾快而輕巧的筆劃、井然有序的交叉影線,穿插著造型迷幻的點彩畫,描繪出一幅茂盛綠茵、背靠蔚藍天空景象。這鮮明、輕快的景象與扭曲的人物形象形成強烈對比,轉瞬進入昏黑的道路,營造出充滿矛盾情緒的效果。《毀滅》冥想出的安寧,讓觀者可以窺探到畫家的內心世界,並對這一位極具天份的藝術家王俊傑所感受的折磨產生強烈共鳴。

      王俊傑

      Matthew Wong was a Canadian artist who enjoyed growing acclaim for his lush, dreamlike scenes that play on a rich tradition of art historical precedents. His work depicts the vivid but often melancholy terrain between sleep and wakefulness, lonely landscapes and isolated interiors rendered with a carefree hand and an ebullient palette, yet which contain an ineffable sorrow and a palpable but unnamed longing.  

      Wong spent his childhood between cultures: he was born in Toronto, Canada and at age 7 moved with his family to Hong Kong where he lived until he was 15, at which time the family returned to Canada. Wong began to experiment artistically already well into his adulthood, first with photography, which he pursued at the postgraduate level at the City University of Hong Kong, and then with painting. A self-taught painter, Wong developed his aptitude for the medium by immersing himself in online conversations with other artists and dedicated personal study of the history of art. His paintings attracted almost immediate attention, but Wong tragically passed away in 2019 just as his work was beginning to receive widespread critical praise.
