黃磊生

尺寸:257.5×99.9(裝裱)，147.5×78.3(畫心)

黃磊生(1928-2011)，出生於廣東台山，台灣水墨畫家。1949年旅居香港，拜入嶺南派大師趙少昂門下，翎毛、花卉、蟲魚、人物、山水、走獸無所不能。曾任港九各大書院美術教席、美國東方藝術協會榮譽顧問、美國中華藝術學會理事長、台灣三石畫藝學會理事長、各公立美術館評審委員、中國文化大學美術系教授。1960年移居美國，於舊金山開設「國風藝苑」，宣揚中華藝術文化。早自1957年即獲「亞洲第一屆青年畫展」優異獎、國畫首獎及美國「費里斯曼」藝術獎金，其後更於1987年榮獲「中興文藝獎章」，深受推崇。作品經常巡迴展出於港、台、美、日、比、中等地，名揚海內外，並出版畫冊多種。
影響黃磊生一生最大的趙少昂，可謂將嶺南派在港澳發揚光大之重要推手，更透過弟子傳至台美等地，使其開枝散葉，成為戰後中國畫界最重要以及更具國際知名度的流派體系。
一如本作所見，老松姿態深具動感，呼應綬帶鳥的翩翩起舞。嶺南派注重光影、色彩、構圖、筆墨情趣變化之特色，具有彌補傳統國畫僵化刻板之缺點，成就了該畫派的堅強實力。在此基礎下，黃磊生更能發揮所長，認為「最重要的，是要掌握住它(大自然)的生命力」，因此致力於寫生，對自然描寫對象進行深入而科學的觀察、感覺、捕捉，已成為其一生創作的座右箴銘。(506字)

Huang Lei-Sheng (1928-2011), born in Taishan, Guangdong, was a renowned Taiwanese ink painter. In 1949, he moved to Hong Kong and became a student of the Lingnan school master Zhao Shao'ang, excelling in painting birds, flowers, insects, fish, figures, landscapes, and animals. He held positions at various major colleges in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and served as an Honorary Advisor to the American Oriental Art Association, Chairman of the American Chinese Art Society, Chairman of the Taiwan Sanshi Art Society, a jury member of various public art museums, and a professor in the Fine Arts Department of the Chinese Culture University. In 1960, he relocated to the United States and opened the "Guofeng Art Garden" in San Francisco to promote Chinese art and culture. As early as 1957, he was simultaneously awarded the Superior Prize and the First Prize in Traditional Chinese Painting at the “First Asian Youth Art Exhibition”, and the American “Ferris Man” Art Scholarship. In 1987, he was further honored with the “Zhongxing Literary and Art Medal”, earning widespread recognition. His artworks have been exhibited frequently in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, Japan, Belgium, China, and other places, gaining fame at home and abroad. He has also published many art albums.

Zhao Shao'ang, who had the most significant influence on Huang Lei-Sheng's life, played a crucial role in promoting the Lingnan School in Hong Kong and Macau. Through his students, he also spread its influence to Taiwan, the United States and other places, making it one of the most important and internationally recognized Chinese painting styles after World War II.

As seen in this work, the old pines are full of dynamic poses that resonate with the graceful dance of the bird. The Lingnan School emphasizes the characteristics of light and shadow, color, composition, as well as the changes of brush and ink, thus addressing the rigidity and inflexibility of traditional Chinese painting and reinforcing the school's robust strength. On this basis, Huang Lei-Sheng used his skills, believing that "the most important thing is to grasp the vitality of nature." He devoted himself to plein air painting, making deep and scientific observations, feelings, and captures of natural subjects, which became the motto of his lifelong creation.
