岑苑樺生於香港，為本地資深建築師，曾探索雕塑、版畫、壁畫、瓷磚、攝影、平面設計及插圖等視覺媒體之創作，唯水墨與書法是當下最愛。自2002年以來，曾策劃、籌辦或參與超過50個視藝作品展覽。作品為私人及藝術館收藏。現為《香港現代水墨畫會》副主席（2015-）。

中國古代不少知識份子，隱遁於恬靜幽谷，以筆墨描繪大山大水；身處二十一世紀，日夕往返於繁華鬧市；昔日文人畫中的自然景致，豈是城市人可朝夕相見？試試想像面前高聳入雲的玻璃幕牆屏風、重疊的石屎森林和郵輪海港，就是現今城市人可觀遊的都山市水，寄託胸中的丘壑。

「都山市水系列」正正是因應上述構思所衍生的一個背靠歷史、立足當下、面向未來的理論性實驗。借用傳統的宣紙和筆墨媒介，結合新穎的手法，書寫當代的題材；以今人的角度重新演繹國畫常用的高遠和平遠透視，探索由過去式演變至現在進行式的可能性。

Shum Yuen Wah, Ferna

Born in Hong Kong, Ferna began her professional career as an architect. She has also worked with other media of visual arts such as sculpture, mural wall, printmaking, tile design, photography and book illustrations in the past. Her

fascination in the world of ink painting blossomed since 2003 and Chinese calligraphy has added a new dimension in her exploration of creative arts from 2009 onwards.

The subject of traditional Chinese painting is predominately natural landscape of hazy mountains amidst the cloud and streams but gone are the old days. As urban dwellers in the 21st Century, our cityscape is predominated by high-density high-rise living. The blue and green shades of nature are

gradually blurred by a continuous succession of skyscrapers and highways. The tall buildings form vertical layers of our “mountain backdrop” while the original waterfront is eroded by horizontal network of busy flyovers and bridges with an uninterrupted flow of vehicles and people. My “Cityscape”

series reveal a visual account of contemporary architecture and urban space in Hong Kong with reference to the vocabularies of traditional Chinese landscape painting.
