NOAH TANG AT KAI TAK SPORTS PARK
2025 春季師友藝術計劃 | SPRING 2025 YOUTH MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
Mentored by local Hong Kong graffiti artist PECK, Noah’s style originates from traditional print engravings, bringing it to her new venture into graffiti and mural painting.
Noah Tang 的導師是本地塗鴉藝術家 PECK。 Noah 的風格源自傳統版畫,她將嘗試把風格融入塗鴉和壁畫之中。
「Tak」
I use the Chinese character “德” (Tak) and white rabbits as the main subjects of my work.
“德” represents enlightenment and virtue. I enjoy creating with Chinese characters. Traditional Chinese characters are the scripts we have always used, representing the long-standing culture of China. I use the small seal script for “德”, which became a standardized form of writing after Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms. It has influenced the characters we use today.The white rabbit frequently appears in my works. Rabbits are very active and have keen senses:
• Hearing – Their ears can turn to the direction of sounds.
• Sight – Their eyes are on the sides of their heads, giving them a wide vision.
• Smell – They have an excellent sense of smell that helps them detect food in the surroundings.
• Touch – With well-developed muscles in their limbs, agile and sensitive rabbits can move flexibly in different situations.
• Taste – Rabbits have 17,000 taste buds, allowing them to finely discern various flavors.I put rabbits in my work at the Kai Tak Sports Park, hoping everyone can experience the joy that vitality brings us in sports, just like rabbits do.
The character “德” is composed of three components: “心” (heart), “彳” (walking), and “直” (direct). “心” represents mood and mindset; “彳” signifies walking and behavior; “直” implies the meaning of encountering.
At “Kai Tak,” I wish everyone here has an open mindset, to act in accordance with everything and to explore this world as flexibly as rabbits do.
「德」
我用「德」字和白兔成為作品的主角。「德」代表啟德、美德。我喜歡用中文字創作,繁體字是我們一直沿用的字體,同時代表中國源遠流長的文化。
用小篆體的「德」,小篆體是秦始皇統一六國後整合的文字,亦都影響了我們後來所使用的文字。 (是選用該字體的原因)白兔經常出現在我的作品裏。兔子是非常好動和感官靈敏的動物:
聽 – 耳朵能夠隨着聲音的方向轉動。
視 – 雙眼位於面的兩側,能視範圍廣。
嗅 – 極佳的嗅覺能夠覆蓋深處的食物。
觸 – 四肢肌肉發達,敏感機智的兔能因應情況靈活運動。
味 – 兔子擁有17000個味蕾,能夠非常細膩分辨各種的味道。
我把兔子放在今次啟德體育園的作品中,希望我們每個人在運動的過程中也能像兔子一樣,好好體驗生命力帶給我們的愉悅感。「德」的字形由「心」、「彳」、「直」三個部件組成。「心」代表情態、心境;「彳」代表行走、行為;「直」意指相遇之義。
在「啟德」,我願每一位來到的人,擁有開放的心態,萬事萬物遵道而行,如兔子般靈活探索這個世界。
