| Statement: | In the prologue of Shuowen Jiezi, Xushen explained that the Chinese word “wen” refer to pictograms, while the Chinese word “zi” refers to the words developed later for more complicated usage. The word “guan” has lots of meanings, namely, observation, value, and Daoist temple. With the combination of these different meanings, not only does it bring the topics of my work, but also conclude my research in these four years. Cyrus Cheung was born in 2001 and graduated from Raimondi College in 2019. He is a fourth-year student from the department of Fine Art in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. During his undergraduate study, he exchanged to the University of Leeds in the UK. Also, he has been concentrated in Chinese calligraphy and seal carving. Because of their variable shapes, their simple and unsophisticated style, he was intrigued by the ancient seal scripts. His work mainly focuses on the application of Chinese characters, for example, analects, mythological texts, and names. |
| 簡介: | 許慎《說文解字》之序：「倉頡之初作書，蓋依類象形，故謂之文。其後形聲相益，即謂之字。文者，物象之本；字者，言孳乳而寖多也。」「觀」的字義之多：察看、看法、與道教有關之場所等等。這裏各種意義的組合，是作品的主題，也是對這四年研究的總結。張柱然生於2001，2019年畢業於高主教書院。現為香港中文大學藝術系四年級生。他曾於2022年1月至6月到英國里茲大學交流。他專注研究書法篆刻創作，對形體多變、風格古拙的古文字尤有興趣。他的作品主要討論語言文字的應用，例如語錄、神話文本和名字。 |
