SHI Yiguang 石宇光

" In this fast-paced life, I understand that everyone needs time and energy to pursue what enriches the soul. This is not only a means of mental relaxation but also a sanctuary against the onslaught of daily trivialities.

在這個快節奏的生活中，我深知每個人都需要一段時間與精力，去追求能讓內心豐盈的事物。這不僅是一種心理放鬆的方式，也是抵禦生活瑣事侵襲的庇護所。"

SHI Yuguang

SHI Yuguang was born in 1990 in Hebei Province, China. He graduated from the China Academy of Art in 2014 and currently resides in Hangzhou, China. He received the Excellence Award at the 2013 National Lacquer Painting Exhibition, and his works are part of the permanent collection of the Fujian Provincial Art Museum, China, as well as being acquired by private collectors. Represented by the Gallery by SOIL, his works were first shown at Fine Art Asia in 2024, followed by exhibitions at Art Central in 2025 and Fine Art Asia 2025. This is his first solo exhibition taking place in Hong Kong.

Shi’s lacquer paintings merge simplicity and complexity, flowing like prose in a stream-of-consciousness style. Abstract colour blocks and lines disrupt the typical heaviness of lacquer, creating seemingly spontaneous yet carefully crafted forms. His work reflects an inner self, embracing lightness and purity. This effortless style is surprising, given the focused patience and mastery required by lacquer, a medium shaped by time and technique.

石宇光

石宇光出生於1990年於中國河北省，於2014年畢業於中國美術學院，目前居住於中國杭州。他在2013年國家漆畫展中獲得優秀獎，作品被福建省美術館永久收藏，並被私人收藏者所擁有。他的作品由The Gallery by SOIL 代理，首次在2024年Fine Art Asia亮相，隨後於2025年在Art Central及2025年Fine Art Asia展出。這是他首次個展在香港舉行。

石宇光的漆畫既可說是簡約但又看來複雜，如同意識流的散文般流暢。抽象的色塊和線條打破了漆的傳統厚重感，創造出似乎隨意卻又經過細心雕琢的風格。他的作品反映了內心的自我，擁抱輕盈與純粹。這種看似輕鬆的表現，與漆藝給人沉重之感，其所需的專注、耐力，重複性的工序對時間與技巧上的要求，互相踫撞，卻又結晶成作品。

Artist Statement

Another Fine Day!

In this fast-paced life, I understand that everyone needs time and energy to pursue what enriches the soul. This is not only a means of mental relaxation but also a sanctuary against the onslaught of daily trivialities. In our busy routines, we often lose sight of the time spent on “useless” joys; yet it is the preservation of this happiness that grants us moments of tranquility and satisfaction amid the chaos.

Through creation, I have gradually discovered its profound significance. After work, I yearn to rewind, paint, and express myself with my hands. When an idea materialises into a piece of art, it adorns my living space with a fresh allure and adds a touch of delightful strangeness. Each time I immerse myself fully, my spirit finds peace, and a sense of fulfilment arises.

On this creative journey, I hope my works inspire both myself and the viewers to feel a sense of “it could be this way” or “how delightful,” rather than merely striving for excellence. For me, creation is about playfully experimenting with meaningful or trivial things; this process is never ending, even though I may adopt different forms at various stages.

In this exhibition, I sincerely hope that audience can feel that flicker of joy. May we all find our own creativity in life, nurturing that inner richness and calm.

藝術家的話

願我們微光常亮

在這個快節奏的生活中，我深知每個人都需要一段時間與精力，去追求能讓內心豐盈的事物。這不僅是一種心理放鬆的方式，也是抵禦生活瑣事侵襲的庇護所。在忙碌的日常中，我們常常失去了關注那些「無用」快樂的時間，但正是守護這份快樂，讓我們在忙亂中獲得了片刻的寧靜與滿足。

通過創作，我逐漸發現它帶給我的深遠意義。工作之餘，我渴望用雙手去改造、去塗抹、去表達。當一個想法具體化為作品，它便將我的生活空間點綴得更為新穎，增添了幾分陌生的趣味。每當我全身心投入其中，心靈便得以安靜，充實感油然而生。

在創作的旅程中，我希望我的作品能為自己或觀者帶來「還能這樣」或「很好玩」的感受，而不單是為了與眾不同而創造差異。對我而言，「創作」就是隨意地搗鼓一些有意義或無意義的東西；這一過程並不會停止，儘管我會在不同階段採取不同的形式。

在這次展覽中，我誠摯地希望每位觀眾都能感受到那份微光，願我們都能在生活中，找到屬於自己的創作，保持那份內心的豐盈與寧靜。
