AURORA REVELATION

<Aurora Revelation>, by applying scientific knowledge in creative arts, Ms TK Chan is calling for solidarity around concerns about global warming. Her new creative oil painting series is called <Aurora Revelation>. It is inspired by the mysteriously beautiful but volatile Aurora Borealis, which can be seen in the north of Scotland. TK is applying her self-invented creative and interpretive brush strokes in <Aurora Revelation> to capture the light patterns through her own eyes. The artist has used this series of paintings to bring an awareness of Global warming as an issue that everyone should be concerned about.

The <Aurora Revelation> are circular artworks, which represent the Earth, Sun, Stars and the relationship of Human Solidarity. Each brush stroke is created using a unique circular motion. These numerous small circles, depicted on a circular canvas act as metaphors that appeal to everyone regardless of skin colour, race, nationality, political background, culture, gender, sexual orientation, ability, health, disability, social class, wealth or any other background to join together to protect our mother Earth in harmony.

《極光啓示》作品的顏色啟發自蘇格蘭北部的天空 - 北極光，作品不但色彩繽紛，引人入勝，其實背後意義亦不可忽視︰北極光是一種大自然天文奇觀，它沒有固定的型態、顏色也不盡相同，以綠、白、黃、藍為主，偶爾呈現艷麗的紅紫色，曼妙多姿又神秘難測。TK 在作品中以油畫雲塗法描繪出平靜的天空，更以自創的筆觸帶出立體效果。因為遭受到全球暖化的影響，過往只在南北極才能看到的極光，現在也出現於歐洲北部及美州北部地區。於蘇格蘭北部拍攝北極光於最近成為熱話，TK 被其幻變的顏色及不規則的模式所吸引，但同時意識到北極光也是人類需正視全球暖化問題的＂美麗警報＂。TK 把科學溶入創意美術，希望透過描繪美麗而神秘的北極光的油畫作品，提醒人類加強環保意識。
