Umbrella Movement Blind Drawings 雨傘人像
Blind drawing is a method for training both senses of sight and touch. The artist draws the portrait of a subject without looking at the paper, it seems impossible. At the protest site, I drew a portrait for each participant in one minute; with my hands inside the yellow box while having a conversation with the subject. The drawings were given to participants as gift, printed with the famous quote of Nelson Mandela: ‘It always seems impossible until it’s done’. A memento of the movement, an appreciation for their support.
藝術家在金鐘佔領區內把雙手放進一個封閉了的盒子，在不看畫紙的情況下，一邊畫人像一邊跟被繪者談論兩傘運動。於一分鐘內完成繪圖，把人像畫送給參與者以作紀念和鼓勸。作品希望表達出南非第一個民選總統、諾貝爾和平獎得主納爾遜．曼德拉的名句 「在事情未成功之前，一切總看似不可能。」
