Retro Ladder Street 復古樓梯街

Retro Ladder Street
Oil and Acrylic on Canvas

The painting is based on an old photo of Ladder Street.  I really like the clothes that the people were wearing which were either white or black which unified the image so well.  A deliberate blue tone  was added to the painting so as to create a cool jazzy feeling to it.  It's also quite a challenge and a lot of fun to paint so many people in one painting.   While painting each one of them, I was like going back in time, trying to think and feel what each person's life was like. 

復古樓梯街
油彩，塑膠彩畫布

此畫是根據舊照片畫的。地點是樓梯街。大概是當時其他色彩的布料昂貴吧，畫中人物衣服都是非黑即白。如此黑白配襯，畫面又特別好看。繪畫時我刻意加上藍調，給整張畫一種冷的感覺。還有刻畫每一個人時，好像時光倒流，猜想他們每一個當時究竟過著怎樣的生活。
