鄧海超先生长期服务于香港艺术馆,任内以卓越的学识与远见,致力于推动香港水墨艺术与现代艺术的发展。他以开放的学术视野与严谨的策展理念,策划并主持了多项具有深远影响的大型展览,使香港艺术在传统与当代之间建立起富有张力的对话空间,也为本地艺术家走向国际舞台铺设了坚实的桥梁。

尤为令人敬佩的是,鄧先生在退休之后,仍不计报酬,倾注全部热忱继续推动香港水墨艺术的发展。他积极参与学术研究与艺术顾问工作,悉心提携后进,言传身教之间,培育出一批又一批具有潜力的青年艺术人才。他的无私奉献与长者风范,成为香港艺术界弥足珍贵的精神财富。

2023年,鄧海超先生作为香港艺术界的重要代表之一,积极参与世界华人美术金笔奖及艺术论坛,并在论坛上发表了极具专业深度与时代洞见的发言。他以深厚的理论修养与实践经验,为华人艺术的发展方向提供了宝贵的思考与启迪,也展现出一位资深艺术管理者的责任与担当。

回望其一生,鄧海超先生不仅是卓越的艺术馆管理者,更是香港文化发展的重要推动者与见证者。他以学术立身,以艺术报国,以文化为桥,连接传统与未来、香港与世界。他的离去,是香港艺术界的重大损失。

美国罗丹国际艺术家基金会和世界华人美术金笔奖国际联合会、纽约世界艺术出版社、美国亚洲艺术学会谨以此文,寄托深切哀思。愿鄧海超先生安息于艺术的永恒之境,其精神与贡献,将长存于香江之畔,铭刻在人们心中。

A Crimson Heart and Ink Reflections overHong Kong — In Deep Memory of Mr. Tang Hoi-chiu, Former Director of the HongKong Museum of Art

Qiongzhao Ellen Schicktanz

The art world has recently received thesorrowful news that Mr. Tang Hoi-chiu, former Director of the Hong Kong Museumof Art, has sadly passed away. The tragic announcement has brought profoundshock and grief to colleagues across the art community. Though he has departed,his noble character endures; the artistic achievements and cultural spirit hedevoted his entire life to continue to shine brightly through the course oftime.

Mr. Tang dedicated many years of service to the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Duringhis tenure, with outstanding scholarship and visionary insight, he wascommitted to advancing both Hong Kong ink art and modern art. With an openacademic perspective and rigorous curatorial philosophy, he planned and lednumerous large-scale exhibitions of lasting influence. These initiativescreated a dynamic dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity in Hong Kongart, while also building a solid bridge for local artists to enter theinternational stage.

What is especially admirable is that even after his retirement, Mr. Tangcontinued to devote himself wholeheartedly—without seeking any remuneration—tothe promotion of Hong Kong ink art. He actively engaged in academic researchand advisory work, and mentored younger generations with great care. Throughboth his words and actions, he nurtured successive groups of promising youngartists. His selfless dedication and exemplary character have become aninvaluable spiritual legacy for Hong Kong’s art community.

In 2023, as an important representative of Hong Kong’s art world, Mr. Tangactively participated in the World Chinese Art Golden Brush Awards and ArtForum, where he delivered a speech of profound professional depth andcontemporary insight. Drawing upon his solid theoretical foundation and richpractical experience, he offered valuable reflections and inspiration for thefuture development of Chinese art, while also demonstrating the responsibilityand commitment of a senior arts administrator.

Looking back on his life, Mr. Tang was not only an outstanding museum leader,but also a vital promoter and witness of Hong Kong’s cultural development.Grounded in scholarship, devoted to art, and building bridges through culture,he connected tradition with the future, and Hong Kong with the world. Hispassing marks a great loss to the Hong Kong art community.

The Rodin International Artists Foundation (USA), the World Chinese Art GoldenBrush Awards International Federation, the New York World Art Press, and theAmerican Asian Art Society hereby express their deepest condolences. May Mr.Tang Hoi-chiu rest in the eternal realm of art. His spirit and contributionswill forever endure along the shores of Hong Kong, and remain engraved in thehearts of all.
