　　余世堅先生認為文人畫一詞的當代意義，就是“知識分子的繪畫”。整體而言，該概念蘊涵了人文的、“和而不流”的，非單止面向市場和時尚的各種取向。其中國的傳統(tǒng)特色，更有濃厚山水田園的詩意和謙謙君子的氣質。

　　Forty Years on Intellectual Brush & Ink Painting

　　Hong Kong modern ink painting artist, Yu Shijian will exhibit more than 80 pieces of his representative works during forty years’ work on intellectual ink painting at Zhu Qizhan Museum. The opening reception will be held on Thursday, August 9th, 2007, 4 pm.

　　The artist considers the contemporary meaning of scholar painting “l(fā)iterati painting” is "paintings of the intellectuals". As a whole, this concept embraces humanism, non-conformity, and its direction is not solely market and trend oriented. Its specific traditional Chinese features involve poetic natural landscapes, and exude a certain quality close to the Tao of gentleman “Gentleman”.

　　1943, Yu Sai Kin was born in China during the Second World War. He was active in the student literary circle in Hong Kong when he was young. In the 60’s he participated in several important exhibitions in the New Art Movement in Hong Kong, Taiwan & overseas with Lu Sau Kuan and a few other contemporary artists. In the 70’s, he studied painting in the United States and Canada, and started “Gallery 80’s” in the Major Gallery district in Toronto for the promotion of contemporary Chinese Art. After 1982, he returned to China and Hong Kong and continued his work on brush and ink paintings. His works were frequently shown in exhibitions held in Guandong, Beijing, Shanghai & Hong Kong.

　　In 1998, his painting was selected to the National Art Show, sponsored by the Ministry of

　　Culture. In the year 2000, he was invited to the “30th Anniversary of China - Canada Diplomatic Relations Traveling Show” in Canton - Toronto. In 2002, he was enrolled in “Who’s Who in the World”. His paintings & poems were also selected by The Federation of Chinese Literature and Art Union into the China Bau website. 2004, Shanghai Spring Salon. 2006, Solo Exhibition - Shanghai Room with a View Gallery, and also the “contemporary Chinese Art Show” in the Regis Center of Art of Minnesota University, U.S.A. in the same year.
