鳥瞰香港​

在鄒氏的作品中,最為人熟悉又廣為收藏的,應該是他用重彩和氈頭筆創作的香港全景圖。他所記錄的風景色彩奇幻豐富,將香港的自然環境和建築之美表現得淋漓盡致。他採用的視點通常從山頂的高處俯瞰,有時候還會使用鳥瞰式構圖,使香港壯麗的景色躍然紙上。無論畫家是在郊外寫生,還是受委託創作,他的廣角風景畫就像威尼斯城景畫一樣,為本地居民和遊客記錄了這座海港城市的美麗風光。

 

鄒氏對本地藝術界的貢獻,從他大量以香港為題的風景畫中可見一斑。這些畫作不單是香港藝術的典範,同時也是記錄這座城市發展的歷史文獻。鄒氏的藝術風格有別於傳統的嶺南畫派和其他廣東外來畫家,作品受到本地和外國人珍藏,這亦顯示了他與客戶關係良好。鄒氏還保留了他的早年創作,包括基礎素描作品和繪畫,以及不少全景重彩畫,這些作品是他成名的基石。

Hong Kong Panoramas

Arguably the best known and most widely collected of Chau’s works are the panoramic views of Hong Kong’s landscapes he created in watercolour and pen. Primarily documentary in character, Chau’s depictions incorporate a colour palette so rich and fantastical that his ambition to display the beauty of the city’s natural and built environment could not be represented in a better light. Often seen from high vantage points on the Peak or from Lion Rock, or sometimes drawn as imaginary bird’s-eye views, his paintings are extraordinary testaments to the magnificence Chau saw in Hong Kong. Whether created on a day-long hike or commissioned by a patron, his wide-angle visions are like Venetian vedute documenting—for the local resident and visitor alike—the magnificence of the pristine harbour city.

Altogether, Chau’s significant contribution to the local art scene must be seen in his numerous view-paintings that memorialise Hong Kong in what we consider today as exemplary Hong Kong paintings, as well as crucial

historical documents recording a city undergoing continuous waves of urban development. The artist developed a personal style that differs from the traditional Lingnan-school paintings and techniques of other émigré artists from Guangdong. Chau excelled in selling to an appreciative local and foreign clientele while also preserving his early works, the more rudimentary as well as fully developed drawings and many of the panoramic watercolour paintings upon which he built his reputation.
