Journey with Me

After the pandemic we are able to journey again. William always considers his artwork as a diary through his life.

This is a joint exhibition of William and Lavina Lim, to record their journey in 2023, and their journey through life together.

Inspired by the Cantopop song "陪著你走" by 盧冠廷 , which describes a journey of a lifetime together, the exhibition includes paintings by William, photography and calligraphy by Lavina, and marks the debut of Lavina in a gallery exhibition.

The three large paintings by William talks about his journey with family, with friends, and with himself. His eleven small paintings, done one per month (the last one will be painted in December), records the changing seasons and changing moods as he journeys through 2023.

Lavina's photography records the journey of Gai Gai, a ceramic chicken the couple collected in Mexico, which they subsequently carry around the world to record their special journey together.

Included in the exhibition are also William's sketches on his boarding passes, oil pastels on paper done during his flights, and postcards the couple posted from each place they visited.

陪著我走

2023是重新出發的一年。

這是林偉而與梅若梅第一次聯展。記錄了他們2023之旅，也是人生之旅。

展覽啓發自盧冠廷的歌「陪著你走」，展出林偉而的油畫作品，與及梅若梅的攝影及書法，是她的第一次。

林偉而的三幅大畫啓發自他與家人、朋友及自己的三種人生旅程。另一組十一幅畫（第十二幅會在本月進行），記錄了他在2023年每個月的心態及時間的流逝。

在2023年，他倆到墨西哥旅遊，買了一只陶瓷雞雞，之後成為梅若梅的攝影主題，記錄兩人到世界各地的旅程。

同時展出的有林偉而這一年的登機證及機上打發時間的畫作，也有兩人在各地寄給自己的明信片。
