In Dawning of Hope series, He Baili depicts landscape cast with rays of
morning light captured in broad, lyrical brushstrokes. For the artist, the
emerging sunrise symbolises renewal and hope. Born in Guangzhou,
He Baili became a student of the Lingnan School of Painting. After
immigrating to Canada in 1984, he became inspired by painting in the
romantic and impressionist modes, which he blended with that of the
Song and Yuan dynasty landscape painting. Refining the splashed ink and
the broken ink techniques, he has arrived at a unique style of landscape
painting that breaks with the constraints of time and conventions of
applying ink and colour.
何百里的《曦望》系列描繪雄渾壯闊日出之景。曦望，既代表日出晨曦
之景；對藝術家而言，亦有希望之意，意境深遠。何氏生於廣州，旋即
遷居香港，其後學習嶺南畫派。1984 年移居北美洲後，受浪漫主義及印
象派繪畫啟發，融匯宋元山水傳統技法，揉合潑墨、破墨、潑彩等技法，
營造出墨彩靈動的獨特寫意山水風格。
