松下裕惠的作品，都是她的心路歷程；
她的拼纸画，是她心血结晶的全部。

在作画时，松下使用的是一层一层薄若蝉翼的染色纸张，套色以表达她的内心画景，经常她只用染色的纸纤维，用心地绘画出她的三维作品，精緻细腻之处令人咋舌，最终呈现在观眾眼前的效果，确实耐人寻味。

骤眼看来，她的作品视觉上与水彩画颇為相似，只看表面的观赏者大都会走了眼，但愿意细看观摩的人士，不难对这些小宝贝发出讚嘆，佩服作者对精微画面上处理的耐心与投入。她的作品不是為没有耐性的观眾或是不懂得优质艺术品的人士而创作的。松下為每张作品通常要花上数个星期或数个月来完成，她在艺术家自述中表示，“好的作品，并不仅仅是强烈的震憾，温情慈悲也能给人强大力量，与其勉為其难地虚张声势，不如描绘符合自己特色的画。”

松下在日本京都美术大学毕业，专攻日本画。自2003年起，她已获日本多个县长及市长颁赠的特别艺术奖项；作品曾在日本、法国及瑞士等地展出，“心路”是她在香港的首个个展。

“心路”将展出松下裕惠十六幅拼纸画作，展期為二Ｏ一一年十月六日至廿六日。

The paper collage works of Hiroe Matsushita are neither for the impatient nor for those who have no time for premium pieces.  Her works encapsulate the serene depiction of all the soul-searching journeys that she has made.

Very often audiences have mistaken her works as watercolour paintings as they are visually similar and especially for those viewers who only browse superficially.  But for those who are willing to pause and invest their time they will find that her works are little treasures that contain both the fine intricacies of details and the richness of her touch.

Matsushita actually builds her pieces up with layer upon layer of coloured cut paper or simply using just the coloured paper fibres.  She continues the process until the images become three-dimensional capturing all the subtleties that she wants.  Each piece usually occupies her weeks if not months.

“Good pieces of art should be far more than just passing out immediate shock-impacts.  The sensation of tranquility, as a matter of fact, possesses the wonderful power of touching the emotion of the viewers.  Instead of letting myself being dragged unwillingly through the emptiness of artistic exaggeration, I prefer to work quietly on pieces that comes closer to my heart,”  Matsushita says in her artist’s statement.

Matsushita studied Japanese painting and graduated from the University of Art of the City of Kyoto, Japan.  Her paper collage works have won her numerous governor’s and mayor’s awards in Japan since 2003.  She exhibits mainly in Japan, France and Switzerland and the Journeys of the Heart exhibition is her first solo in Hong Kong.

The exhibition runs from 6th – 26th October, 2011.
