“Happily Bubbling Away” Solo Exhibition of Eliza Cheng
「靈感飛躍」- 鄭慧華個人油畫展

Date日期 : 03. 09. 2012 – 13. 10. 2012

A Hong Kong born Chinese, Eliza received her tertiary education in England. She has been painting since 1998, the year when she made a career turn from management consultancy to art. Having an upbringing in a traditional Chinese family, and a strong exposure to the western cultures throughout her education and career development, her contemporary art carries a blend of eastern and western cultural influence.

In summer 2011, she obtained an MFA in Painting with the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. Through delving into the subject of abstract painting during her years of study, the bodies of her art have embraced a major shift from representational roots to pure conceptual compositions and abstract expressionism.

Eliza has had solo shows in Hong Kong. She also exhibits annually with Artists Abroad, an art group composed of some international artists in which she has been the Treasurer and board member since 2002. She actively participates in various local community projects and artist-in-residency programs. Last year with the “Lines” series of her works, she was shortlisted for a New York based AIR program organized by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. A piece from the “Bubbles” series also got selected into the juried competition and exhibition by Hong Kong Oil Painting Research Society. She has done commissioned work for private collectors as well as corporations. Eliza currently lives in Hong Kong where she teaches private lessons in art and painting.

鄭慧華生於香港,在英國接受高等教育。鄭氏於1998年從管理顧問轉投藝術,自始開展其繪畫創作的生涯。她成長於一個傳統的中國人家庭,又因在海外接受教育和發展事業而深受西方文化薰陶,因此其當代藝術作品也揉合了東西文化色彩。

鄭氏在美國三藩市藝術大學主修繪畫,於2011年夏天取得美術系碩士學位。她在大學期間一直潛心鑽研抽象畫派,其創作由寫實擴展至抽象,作品以純意念建構和抽象派表現主義為主。

鄭氏曾多次在香港舉行個人畫展,自2002年起積極參與香港海外藝術家會(Artists Abroad)的年展。Artists Abroad 是由一些國際性藝術家組成的藝術團體,鄭氏現為該會的司庫及董事會成員。她經常積極參與各種社區藝術活動及藝術工作者駐場計劃。她去年憑著「繩子」(“Lines”)系列作品獲香港藝術發展局列入一項紐約藝術工作者駐場計劃的候選名單。其另一幅來自「泡影」(“Bubbles”)系列的作品也獲得香港油畫研究會比賽的評審選為入圍作品,並作公開展覽。她曾受委託為很多藝術收藏家和私人機構工作,現居於香港,從事私人教授藝術繪畫的工作。

夏天是花的季節,璀璨的陽光照耀在綻放的花卉上,空氣混著花香,蜂蝶繞花飛舞,讓人感受到大自然的真、善、美。, 從古至今,不少藝術家喜愛畫花,他們以不同的表達方式,或寫實、或抽象,把花卉最燦爛綻放的片刻活現於畫面上。每位藝術家各自以真誠的心捕捉不同花卉的性格,以畫筆展現它們的嬌姿美態,亦展示自己對生命的熱情及生活的熱愛。 , 夏天的「花」,是生命的象徵,讓我們感受到生存的快樂,生命的意義!藝術家以畫表達百花盛放的生命力;我們希望大家在欣賞美麗作品之餘,能為您的生活注入更多美好、美麗、美妙的事物,也讓置身高樓大廈的我們,都能感受到大自然的美。
