水彩創作展簡介
在六十年代末，鄭燕祥教授已開始對藝術繪畫產生濃厚興趣。過去三十多年來，他在水彩畫上發展了獨特的個人風格，特色是在抒發個人情意的同時，亦對中國精神及西方藝術意念作重新的演繹；帶著深厚的人文情懷，以活潑創新的水彩氣韻，體驗天人相合山水呼應的追求。
是次展覽共選出近五十件作品，由七十年代直至現在二千年代，反映他多年來風格上的轉變，以及他探索內心和外在世界的心路歷程。全部都是未曾展覽過的作品，共分為九個系列，包括山之隨想、山水之研究、河邊、在天地間、早春之意、桂林之懷想、荷花之聯想、寫花的日子及樹之意，合成這次「蒼穹下之隨想」的水彩創作展展覽。這是繼2001年後的另一次重要展出。

Introduction of the
Exhibition
Professor CHENG, Yin Cheong has developed an interest in
art and painting in the late
1960's. In the last three decades, he has developed a unique
style in watercolor painting, which integrates an aesthetic
expression of his sentiments with his re-interpretation of
the Chinese spirit and western art ideas. His artistry illustrates the interaction between Man and Nature, emphasising the importance of harmony between the two.
There are about 50 exhibits in this exhibition, with an aim to reflect the development of his painting
style over the years and his discovery of the inner and outer
world. The exhibits are classified into the following 9 series:
Thinking upon Mountains, Landscape Study, Riverside, In Nature's Embrace, Early Spring, Guilin in Memory, Inspirations
from the Lotus, Flowers and Enlightening Trees.
