Wedding Card Street 囍帖街

2023

Digital painting

29.7cm x 42cm

Wedding Card Street depicts the changes of Lee Tung Street. This street, once famous for wedding printing materials, was later transformed by the government into a commercial street.

The work is presented in a pop art style and with diagonal composition. The old signs represent the Wedding Card Street that holds collective memories, while the lanterns and new buildings symbolize the current Lee Tung Street. Male figures and an excavator allude to the government's leading role. The bold contrast of deep green and bright red blocks heightens the visual impact and emotional resonance. The work aims to document this social event and invite reflection on the loss of local cultural character.

「囍帖街」描繪了利東街的變遷。這條昔日以婚禮印刷品聞名的街道，后被政府改造為中式商業街。

作品以波普藝術風格和對角線構圖呈現。舊招牌代表承載集體回憶的囍帖街，燈籠與新建築象徵今日的利东街。男性人物與挖掘機暗示政府的主導角色。畫面採用大面積的深綠與鮮紅作強烈對比，既凸顯主題，也傳遞情感張力。作品旨在記錄這一社會事件，引發關於本土文化特色消逝的思考。
