羅展鵬
1983年生於台灣嘉義。羅展鵬先後畢業於文大美術系、師大美研所西畫創作組。羅展鵬早歲由聯邦美術新人獎（2004）、奇美獎（2007）、高雄獎（2008）等大型獎賽中脫穎而出；並以「草莓族」一系列精密描繪人物面貌的創作奠定個人風格，而後又以「白面者」系列表現當代人的內心面貌受到國際關注，陸續於2011年起以駐村藝術家身分參與多個文化交流計畫，重要如美國洛杉磯ESMoA當代美術館（2013）、德國柏林（2011）。近年重要之展覽、聯展計有，《墨嵐—羅展鵬》（台北，2017）、《話．時代—畫廊產業三部曲》（台北，2017）、《存在的情境—東亞當代寫實藝術展》（南投，2016）。
本次香港水墨藝博將展出羅展鵬近年新近開發的水墨風｢墨嵐系列｣，除保有原先油畫創作寫實、細膩的造型，藝術家並在人物面部表情之外，逐一將我們熟悉的身體形象解放至純粹的點、線、面。另方面，新世代男男女女，作為畫家筆下的模特兒，又將觀者拉回熟悉的時空，如同一幀街頭熟悉的風景—身處在全球化下，交通便利，來自四面八方的訊息與資源，以前所未有的幅度在咫尺的畫幅中相遇，也讓｢墨嵐系列｣，在表象之外深刻揭露了個人對宗教之體悟以及對人之本質的探索，以其獨特的美學視角訴說出屬於這個時代的萬人譜。

Lo Chan-Peng’s signature realistic and detail orientated brushworks are kept in the recent ‘Misty’ canvases. The painstakingly painted facial expressions inspire the audience to reflect on the purest images of human forms and the sitters of the portraits mirror the contemporary society that is familiar to the viewers. The series can be seen as a catalogue of men, and the pictures inspire one to gaze beyond the surface, explore one’s religious sustenance and the human nature.
