由香港饒宗頤文化館主辦，西泠印社社長饒宗頤教授親筆題辭的「宋院風華──劉慶楊院體細筆作品展」暨「漫談宋代院體細筆繪畫」專題學術講座將于2016年3月10日-17日期間，在九龍青山道800號的饒宗頤文化館主館展出舉辦。

 饒宗頤文化館3月主辦「宋院風華 — 劉慶楊院體細筆作品展」及「宋代院體細筆繪畫漫談」專題講座。院體細筆為傳統國畫畫派，由宋朝始為宮廷和皇室貴族繪畫，及後發展至畫院制度，講究筆法工致，狀物精微，並強調畫中主體的寫實性及嚴謹性，以至對畫家之用筆、用墨、用色，用紙等都甚有規範。
    展覽將展出劉慶楊先生數十幅院體細筆畫作。劉慶楊先生為當代中國年青畫家，畢業於天津美術學院，師從中國藝術研究院霍春陽先生，潛心研習宋代院體細筆之技法，亦致力探求中國傳統文化精神與思想。其作品題材多元，以花鳥見長，兼擅山水人物。畫作除臨摹古今諸賢妙品，亦借鑒其 “格物”的儒家理學，通過觀察其主體如花鳥人物，知其物性，以達至“畫乃心印”的審美理想，呈現了院體細筆的風格特色。
    為加深公眾認識，展覽附設專題講座(LINK TO REGISTRATION)，由劉慶楊先生漫談宋代院體細筆繪畫的精髓，賞析畫作中的藝術性與哲學性。文化館每日更設公眾導賞介紹是次展覽，以及館內特色。
    配合是次展覽，饒宗頤文化館特別出版《宋院風華》圖錄，除輯錄展出的精品外，亦由劉慶楊聯同著名學者概述展品的藝術性，協助讀者領悟箇中意思。

歡迎您在初春花滿間，細味宋代院體畫之藝術風華。

Prologue

Chinese painting experienced a dramatic boost in Song Dynasty because Song Emperor Huizong was fond of drawing and an excellent painter himself. Among many other arts, he valued painting most. Under his regime, the painting academy became the head of all. Since the mid 19 century, many have insisted on drawing on the Western painting theories, such as life drawing and realistic painting. In fact, first appeared in Song Dynasty, the life drawing bears a longer history than the West. Emperor Huizong who praised highly of this painting skill once asked the painting academics which foot the peacock put first when climbing. No one could answer him, which contrasted his insights into this area. However, in the following Ming Dynasty, the scholars began to take charge of the painting, which was changed to show the painters’ own idea and accomplishment rather than the accurate portray of the objects. Since then, the Chinese painting has centered less on the life drawing, Qing Dynasty the least, and today nobody but the renowned modern painter Yu Feian could be considered as a match to those of Song.

Mr Liu, born in 1980s boasts a mastery of painting parallel to Song artists’ style, especially in flower drawing. He is about to give an exhibition of his works and publish a book containing his drawings which I named as Elegance of Song.
