藝倡沙龍欣然呈現「意境當代」十一位藝術家的特別聯展，展出的作品均受到「香港新水墨運動」先驅呂壽琨的創新精神所啟發與感染。參展藝術家包括區凱琳、范欣、馮凱珊、香建峰、江俊雅、李婷婷、苗瀚文、莫鎧靖、鄧啟耀、謝俊昇和阮家儀，他們各自在藝術創新上探索自己的道路，以直接或間接的方式回應呂壽琨突破傳統的精神，而呂壽琨展覽目前正在藝倡畫廊中環空間舉行，是一場具有里程碑意義的個展。

「意境當代」展覽由資深策展人梁兆基策劃，展出作品包括水墨、油彩及混合媒材的平面繪畫，亦有陶瓷、紙雕、光影裝置及新媒體的立體創作，以豐富多元的藝術形式去探討當代意境。呂壽琨的禪畫就是融合了東方哲學與西方抽象藝術，創造出他獨特的視覺語言，亦為傳統的水墨意境開拓了新方向。呂壽琨先生曾言︰「筆墨無衣缽，自我有乾坤」，意指不需拘泥於師承正統，應追尋自我隨心之所向作畫。是次展覽亦希望呈獻藝術家不斷求變，深化個人風格的成果。

藝術家香建峰的繪畫「見山是山 III」就嘗試合併寫實與抽象的手法去描繪山貌，一格格手繪的色塊有如大自然的顏色像素，與打印上色的具象山體和諧地並置同一畫面；內地藝術家苗瀚文的「粉墨流光」系列則利用設計元素點、線、面重塑山水，構成幾何抽象風格的水墨畫；本地藝術家鄧啟耀的「槁木」系列就以硬朗而細膩的筆觸繪畫樹木，呼應背景像呂壽琨抽象大筆觸禪畫的山景。而擅長描繪超現實場景的藝術家江俊雅，作品「腳揈揈」繪畫了窗前一只鳥遇見女主人回家的另類瞬間，去詮釋她的當代意境。

另一方面，藝術家范欣除展出富音律感的細膩抽象畫作外，亦創作了仿如聞聲起舞姿態的優美紙雕作品；內地藝術家李婷婷的「棲雲繡影」則嘗試把水墨立體化，以木雕花鳥構件鑲進繪畫了枝葉及太湖石的盒子，兩者枝葉互相巧妙銜接，把雕塑與繪畫有機地結合起來。本地年輕藝術家莫鎧靖就把香港著名山嶺化成陶瓷，再配上電腦打印的現代肌理造型，嘗試創造新的山水意境；謝俊昇的新媒體裝置利用微型顯示器及金屬支架模擬梅花造型，並透過AI生成技術制作開花的動畫在微型顯示器播放，構成自然與機械交織又包含文人意趣的立體藝術品。本地藝術家阮家儀就收集了日常現成產品，鑲嵌在發光的旋轉機動裝置，投射出走馬燈般的移動山水光影效果。

Alisan Atelier is pleased to announce Spirit In Flux, a special group exhibition of 11 artists inspired by and engaging with the innovative spirit championed by the founder of Hong Kong’s New Ink Movement, Lui Shou-kwan. Participants include Au Hoi-lam, Fan Yan, Fung Hoi-shan, Sherry, Heung Kin-fung, Alex, Kong Chun-nga, Kitty, Li Tingting, Miao Hanwen, Mok Hoi-ching, Silvester, Tang Kai-yiu, Frank, Tse Chun-sing, and Yuen Ka-yee, Angela. They each chart their own course in artistic innovation, directly and indirectly respond to the legacy of Lui Shou-kwan, which is currently celebrated in a landmark solo exhibition at Alisan Fine Arts’ Central Hong Kong gallery.

Curated by veteran curator Leung Siu-kee, the exhibition showcases a diverse array of works, from two-dimensional paintings in ink, oil, and mixed media to three-dimensional pieces incorporating ceramics, paper sculptures, light installations, and new media. These artworks explore contemporary artistic expression, echoing the Spirit central to the exhibition’s title. Lui Shou-kwan's Zen paintings uniquely blend Eastern philosophy with Western abstract art, expanding the world of Chinese ink painting. He once remarked, “Brush and ink have no legacy; they are the universe of the self,” suggesting that artists should not be confined by traditional teachings but should instead pursue their own creative impulses. This exhibition also aims to showcase the artist's continuous pursuit of change and the deepening of his personal style.

Heung Kin-fung, Alex's painting Mountain is a Mountain III attempts to blend realism and abstraction to depict mountain landscapes. Grids of hand-painted colour, reminiscent of natural pixels, harmoniously juxtapose with the printed, concrete mountain forms. Mainland artist Miao Hanwen's Floating Colours, Floating Ink series reimagines landscapes using design elements—dots, lines, and surfaces—to create geometric, abstract ink paintings. Tang Kai-yiu, Frank's Withered Tree series features trees rendered with clear yet delicate brushstrokes, echoing the mountain vistas found in Lui Shou-kwan’s broad-brush Zen paintings. Kong Chun-nga, Kitty, known for her surrealist scenes, captures a whimsical moment when a bird encounters a girl returning home in her work The Swing, showcasing her contemporary artistic sensibilities.

Additionally, Fan Yan presents delicate abstract paintings that evoke a melodic quality, alongside graceful paper sculptures that seem to dance to the rhythm of music. Mainland artist Li Tingting's Aura of Grace explores the three-dimensionality of ink painting by incorporating carved wooden bird-and-flower components into a painted box featuring branches and Taihu rocks, ingeniously connecting the two elements to integrate sculpture and painting. Emerging local artist Mok Hoi-ching, Silvester transformed Hong Kong's iconic mountains into ceramics, enhancing them with computer-printed textures to create a fresh landscape concept. Tse Chun-sing's new media installation employs micro-displays and metal brackets to simulate plum blossoms, using AI-generated technology to animate the blossoming effect on the displays. This innovative artwork intertwines the natural and mechanical while incorporating a touch of literati aesthetics. Lastly, Yuen Ka-yee collects everyday found objects and integrates them into a luminous, rotating mechanism, projecting a moving landscape effect reminiscent of a revolving lantern.
