Hello hello! Long time no see old friends :-) Well I've really been slacking off with my blog writing thing for a long long time. I've been going back to old school journal writing these day. I went through a couple of my old journals/sketching pads, and it reminded me how thrilling and liberating it is to write in a journal where only you can be the reader.
Blogs are very different some how. You can voice out whatever you want, but definintely not everything in detail.
Anyway, my friend just lend me an album, Antony and the Johnsons. Really awesome music and I love the art direction of the album. Modern Gothic.
Here's the album cover of The Crying Light, dedicated to dancer Kazuo Ohno. Spooky but I love it :)
For more info go to www.antonyandthejohnsons.com
Cheers and so long for now~

Ama's Latest Painting Collection 2009
Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:52PM / Standard Entry
Dear All,You are cordially invited to my exhibition at The Economist Gallery at the HK Fringe Club, from June 2nd to June 13th, 2009.The opening reception will be held on the 3rd of June, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.Hope to see you all there!Artist-Singer Amabel Huen Ning (萱寧), also known as Ama, brings forth her latest painting collection to the Fringe Economist Gallery, opening her fourth solo exhibition “Amabel Huen Ning’s Latest Painting Collection 2009” from June 2nd-13th, 2009.
“My paintings are constantly telling stories, recollection of memories, scattered pictures, scents, feelings and random thoughts on canvas”, says Amabel, “Painting to me is like writing in a journal, using symbols, colours, different shapes, materials and forms to write a story, and to share my encounters is a part of my life. ”, who has debut her acclaimed pop solo album “Seoulful” in 2007, and till today, continues in pursuing her two passion: Art and Music.
Amabel explores the unconscious sense of memory on her latest collection, collaborating with poems she has written for every painting, a style she has developed at her earlier years as an artist. “Each poem is the essence of each painting. They are like lyrics to music. And each painting is a part of my soul, a glimpse of my presence, the touch from my heart. The true existence of my life lies within my paintings.”
藝術歌手萱寧(Amabel) 將會在2009年6月2號至13號在香港藝穗會The Economist Gallery舉辦其第4次個人展覽﹐並會展出近期作品。
「我的繪畫經常在說故事、記憶中的往事，散落的圖片、氣味、 感覺和任意的想法」，萱寧說,「繪畫對我來說就像寫日記﹐ 用我喜愛的標誌、顏色、不同的形狀和形式來寫故事，用來分享我生 活的一部分。」
由2007年推出她的流行音樂專輯「Seoulful」， 直到現在，萱寧仍在追求她最熱愛的藝術和音樂。
她喜歡在繪畫中探索在不自覺之下所收藏的記憶和感覺， 並且將詩和畫合拼﹐帶出畫裡隱藏的 奧秘。 這種表達的形式已在她早其的作品出現過﹐ 亦是萱寧獨有的說故事方法。 「每首詩是每張繪畫的精華。 就像音樂配歌詞一樣。每張畫是一道走入我靈魂的窗口。 我的繪畫就代表我存在。」
