早年李美蓮任職插畫師,越來越發現自己有很多想法、感覺,希望跟別人分享,於是決意把力量投放在藝術上,發展自己想要的藝術事業,改變生活模式。

改變。生活

香港大多數人都會把自己大部份時間放在工作上,下班的閒暇就做自己喜歡的事。李選擇了在大部份時間做自己喜歡的事 – 藝術創作,而其餘時間就去工作來支持自己的藝術。她說:追尋自己的理想,需要有準備放棄一些東西,不願意犧牲,很難走出框架。兼顧生活和理想並不容易,她經常都會處於一種邊緣的狀態,要盡量取得平衡。

你的創作關於什麼?

我經常都反思這問題,其實題材方面,我比較集中關於香港,對於香港,其實又愛又恨 – 愛她的多元、精彩,恨在這地生活上的限制。所以我嘗試用不同的角度 – 如歷史、地理環境、空氣污染等,去看香港這地方。

How did you begin your art journey?

I was born in the States but raised primarily in Hong Kong.  The most influential part in terms of my art practice actually started in Hong Kong.  As a kid I had to use ink for calligraphy exercises, I am fortunate to have that, without the training I would’t have got my background in this ancient Chinese art form.  I work with ink paintings, and also three-dimensional works.  I would like to continue to do more three-dimensional projects, and explore the idea of 3D ink painting.

你拍攝的照片有特定題材嗎?

我很少會特地去拍某件事或題目,通常拍的都是生活上的東西,基本上都是用最輕便的手機或相機去拍攝,覺得想拍的我就會影下;這些影像可算是我生活的碎片。

你怎樣發展成為藝術家?

我從小就喜歡攝影,不過第一個學位是修讀護理和公共醫療,曾到印度從事公共衛生的工作。在印度生活時,重拾攝影,更參與協助當地慈善團體拍攝工作,慢慢成為攝影記者。

做了攝影記者好幾年,取得一些頗高調的獎狀。後來再進修,卻慢慢失去做記錄攝影的興趣。起初做新聞攝影是想拍下真實的世界,越來越發現事情不是那樣的,其實所謂的真相都是攝影師的真相吧。於是在 2006 年開始發展藝術創作,以自己的的故事出發,自此不斷在變更和發展。

你的創作關於什麼?

我的創作源自生活上發現的事情 – 可能是街上的海報、某地區的「牙籤樓」、主題公園的變化,從而表達我的觀感、反映社會的一些現況。

你一直都喜歡藝術嗎?

其實我本身是修讀工商管理的,大學時到英國讀書。身在外地的時候,算是啟蒙期 – 開始了解到自己與別人不同,亦對自我和身份多了關注。回港後,曾從事商業工作,不過發現自己對事物的看法不同了,慢慢地尋找和步向自己的路,真正接觸藝術都是後來的事。

近年香港多了些藝術博覽會,我亦有瀏覽,發現原來當代藝術的創作媒介不再限制於繪畫和攝影,這加強了對藝術的興趣。

Tell us about your art practice.

My practice is about the coexistence and dialectic of alienation and intimacy in the everyday life, as I always seek possible variations in the mode of living, examine how the prevailing environment alters the identity of oneself and the meaning of objects. In these years, I have been developing my artistic creation with the concepts of traveling and residues, these concepts are attached to the realm of everyday life, yet detached to the mundane every day since they involved different meaning of time and space.

Tell us about your art practice.

Looking back at my past works, I am always into appropriating the past/ capturing the past/ representing the past/ remaking the past in a manner that deny the pasts are bygones.  Landscape has been a common subject in my works too.
