Lui Shou Kwan’s love for the sea is noted in many of his
paintings, from paying tribute to J. M. W. Turner in Storm
in 1946 to the prolific body of works depicting the Hong
Kong harbour, such as Aberdeen in 1963. This can also
be attributed to his vicinity to the sea, as Lui worked at
The Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry Company from 1949
to 1966 as an inspector. In Fishing Port, Lui portrayed a
quaint scene of fishing junks mooring at a typhoon shelter,
during the time when fishing was still the livelihood of
many in Hong Kong.
呂壽琨的許多作品表現了他對海的鍾情，早至 1946 年
就為致敬透納創作了《駭浪驚濤》, 之後有眾多作品描
繪香港的海景，包括 1963 年創作的《香港仔》。呂壽
琨 1949 至 1966 年間於香港油麻地小輪公司擔任稽查員，
由於他在碼頭工作，每天觀察海港，這成為他描繪大海
的靈感來源。在《漁港》一作中，眾多漁船停留在避風
港內，畫面複雜但構圖平衡而饒有趣味。那時的香港，
漁業仍是許多人賴以為生的職業，是一個時代的縮影。
