菲拉．斯特深信，藝術能感到的，是任何人，包括失明者。她的作品充滿了生動而抽象的色彩和姿態，同時，她善於融合不同質感的顏料和素材，營造色彩和觸感上的層次。其作品不單能觸動我們的視覺神經，甚至能更直接地刺激我們的觸感。她希望觀眾在觸摸她的作品時，能感應不同層次的質感在畫布上的流動。這樣的信念，使菲拉．斯特推行是次為失明/視障人士而設計的藝術欣賞工作坊。
工作坊目的
1. 鼓勵失明/視障人士體驗和詮釋著重質感的藝術。
2. 鼓勵學員建立個人的創意思考。
3. 提高學員對於色彩在溫度的特性的敏感度。
4. 為學員提供以質感強烈的物料作創作的體驗機會。
是次工作坊將會有兩場，分別在本年的10月2日, 下午5:30至8:30和10月3日，上午10:00至下午1:00。
活動由State-of-the-Arts畫廊主辦，香港失明人協進會及香港盲人輔導會分別協辦。

生活中的所有事物都帶有獨特的能量與動力。現代藝術家菲拉．斯特卻把無形的動力變化成為畫布上生動抽象的色彩圖案，讓觀賞者用眼和手的觸覺去感受生活裡川流不息的動力。
State-of-the-Arts畫廊將於10月舉辦一個名為《觸動．動流》的現代畫展，展出15幅菲拉的作品。當中包括了菲拉在生活閱歷中感受到的靈感和動力。

Introduction
There are 2 aspects to experiencing art; spatial and temporal. For sighted people,appreciating art is very much a visual experience; they see the ‘whole picture at any given time in a spatial way. When viewing larger pieces of art such as installation art, big sculptures or even architecture, the experience is more temporal as the whole picture only becomes visible sequentially - in a flowing yet piecemeal manner - as one moves around the object. Sighted people utilise both
the fixed spatial and the flowing temporal aspects when experiencing art; however the spatial aspect appears to outweigh the temporal one.
For blind people the opposite is true. Art appreciation becomes a non-visual tactile experience in which the art is experienced by actually touching and feeling the art in a sequential way. In this case, the temporal aspect dominates the spatial aspect.

Entitled Love Matters the Most, this high-profile exhibition featured 20 of Coplu’s most expressive artworks – a powerful homage to love’s ability to touch and inspire. Shoppers viewed these incredible works of art from 6 - 15 February. During his time at Festival Walk, Coplu has held a series of live demonstrations, enabling shoppers to meet this great artist and be inspired by his passions to “Love” and “Art”.

State-of-the-Arts Gallery is delighted to present to you a collective exhibition of 5 contemporary Columbian artists in the name of ‘Sunlight of Expression’, featuring a range of paintings of the famous landscape of Columbia. The 5 artists stand out in their own style and technique, yet they all have one characteristic in common – the strong Columbian flavor that does not disrupt the harmony of their paintings.

French artist Christian Pendelio paints the scenery into an imagery of love and voyage spiced with witty allegories. The dreamy fairyland and stylized characters intrigue viewers to waves of thoughts. Voyage is a solitary course of discovery while love the destination of every man. The pastel palette adds a fancy touch to the landscape, with a salty taste and loving theme. Whimsical and playful, Christian’s paintings give a sense of humor and an intriguing after-taste.
法國藝術家Christian Pendelio筆下的海洋是愛情和旅程的背景，畫布上的風光是充滿雋永寓意的夢幻奇境。夢幻景色和風格化的人物充滿玩味，引人深思。旅途是孤獨的發現過程，愛則是每個人的歸宿。粉淡的色彩讓愛的風景更添旖旎，幽默的題材令畫作餘韻無窮。

I aim to capture the emotion that resonates from natures patterns and intense compositions found within the earthy landscapes and pristine beaches of Australia, said Jasmin

Living light, endless horizons and colours which touch your soul, these are the dominating factors in Heidi Hahns work. This combination of the palpable with an abstract view of reality is how the paintings create a level of representation and perception beyond reality, but also beyond abstraction - leading away from the sole perception of the image to a gaze that is focused inwards, from simply seeing to feeling.
With these ideas and motifs Heidi Hahn follows in the footsteps of artists such as Caspar David Friedrich or Claude Monet, who did not just want to paint what they saw, but who wanted their images to convey the emotions that this seeing released.

“I am very passionate about giving each colour its own undiluted identity on the canvas; therefore I manipulate the paint in a meticulous fashion to create the images that come to me from within." Furrah introduced her work for appreciation in her art studio in London .
