關於素蘭
趙素蘭成長於藝術世家，醉心陶藝創作多年，近年作品越見多樣化。由早期的陶瓷器皿到近年的陶瓷雕塑及混合媒介裝置，她的作品持續演化，成為一種探索社會、自我及生活本質的進程，更成就了個人的標記。是次作品展主要展示趙素蘭的近作，多個作品系列反映了創作風格與概念的蛻變昇華，以及陶藝創作與人生路途的融和。
近五年來，因為生命中的一個重大轉變，令素蘭重新思考自己與陶藝創作的關係。人與人之間的關係隨時間流轉不斷，創作者與作品的關係亦然; 當中可觸及、可預計的又有幾何？素蘭尤其喜愛卡夫卡的文學作品，創作和人生的路途有時就如那些小說的情節一樣，以離奇荒誕而不規則的方式自我逞現，而這些情節也為她帶來靈感，創作了＜卡夫卡系列＞。
素蘭的父親是畫家，所以她從小就開始接觸各種藝術創作技巧，也喜愛閱讀詩詞。＜兵車行＞和＜踏莎行＞兩組作品以篆刻技巧在陶泥印章上以金文一字一印的刻上整首詩，每個印章均有其獨特設計和造型。素蘭的生活、書緣和回憶，都活現在作品中；換句話說，生活即藝術。
面對世間人、事、物之間無從參透的關係，本當變化多端的陶泥卻顯出實在和沉穩的本性。當初素蘭從陶泥創作之中學會掌握人生，年月漫漫，陶泥多變而隨和的素質卻又令她領悟到何謂難得自在。

Library Holds 1st Ceramic Exhibition
For the first time in HKUST Library’s history, we will stage a ceramic exhibition titled So-lan’s Totem · A Solo Exhibition of Chiu So-lan’s Ceramic Works (素蘭圖騰 · 趙素蘭個人陶藝作品展) this fall. Featuring over 270 pieces of Ms Chiu So-lan’s recent pottery works, the exhibition will be opened on 18 October by Dr David Mole and the ceramic artist.
Ms Chiu grew up in an artist family whose father is a Lingnan-style painter. She learned Chinese calligraphy, brushwork and seal engraving in her early age and was influenced by Western arts such as watercolor and oil painting during her childhood in Macau. In the 1990s, she moved to New Zealand where she engaged herself in ceramic arts and started to develop her own unique style embracing Chinese and Western inspirations.
Solan’s Totem (素蘭圖騰)” consists of 5 pieces, ranging from 6 to 7.5 feet tall, representing the artist’s new stage of style-and-concept transcendence. “Bing Ju Xing (兵車行)” is an installation created with Chinese seal cutting technique. This classic Chinese poem is carved in traditional seal scripts, Jin Wen (金文), onto clay seals, each carrying one word from the poem, and each seal has a unique form. Other pottery figures such as the Kafka Series (卡夫卡系列) carry the artist’s passion for this influential writer.
Don’t miss the opportunity to view this extraordinary exhibition in the Library Gallery!
