展览介绍：

“Colours of Our Home - 色彩家园, 把狮城熟悉的景色转化为稚拙的形体，以增亲近感；再抽去形体，仅留下颜色-亮丽的颜色，给人以愉悦。”

   --- 朱宏,艺术家

“Colours of Our Home – 色彩家园”是朱宏布面丙烯绘画作品个展。朱宏通过独一无二的原创绘画，捕捉观众的注意力和瞬时效应。他作品独特之处在于画布上呈现出纯净的童真、充满活力而夸张的色彩和打破常规的自由。

朱宏自从1997年来到新加坡后，无论以任何一种媒介表现的作品里，他都在试图表达着他沉醉在新加坡真实生活的这个主题里。每个地方、每个角落、每个面孔，无不激发他透过作品把这些直接的视觉体验来与观众分享他的兴奋。对他而言，新加坡迷人的景致，是一个他未开拓又充满异国情调的地方，一个崭新的视觉冒险乐园，一个丰富他生命旅程的愉悦经历。来自中国，新加坡多样性的生活方式，在朱宏生活中的各个方面都是一个不可想象的新转变。这个令朱宏感受如此强烈的新家，他竭尽全力去作出认同的地方 —— 牛车水，芽笼士乃，小印度，新加坡河 —— 把这些异于寻常的视觉图像转化并掺和到生活里。

[画家简历]

Zhu Hong was born in Dalian, China, in 1969. He has been living in Singapore since 1997 and is currently a Singapore citizen. He holds a degree in Architecture, and had previously worked in interior design, architectural design and event design before pursuing his interest to become a full-time artist in 2011. At the moment, he also serves as an adjunct faculty lecturer at Ngee Ann Polytechnic where he teaches visual art to tertiary students enrolled in high-tech media studies. As an artist, Zhu Hong is actively involved in the local arts scene. Apart from being a member of the Singapore Watercolour Society, he also helps the committee for the Federation of Art Societies.

For Zhu Hong, painting offered an important source of mental and spiritual support, especially during his early years in Singapore. Alone and new in a foreign land, he would often spend his free time reading books in libraries or travelling around to explore the island. For a spate of time, he was also coached in watercolour painting by prominent Singaporean artist, Seah Kam Chuan.

In Zhu Hong’s art, his passion for city life and architecture are expressed through the way he captures the spirit and essence of a building and its immediate surroundings. Adopting askew lines and unique angles, the instinctive and playful distortions of architectural elements in his cityscapes and street scenes exhibit a distinctive and contemporary flavour. The colours employed are usually vibrant and arresting, and they reflect keenly the lively tropical atmosphere of our island.
