社區: 周幹全擅畫花鳥
雪梨畫展今揭幕 　 1 June 2016 / 09:30 a.m.

(本報雪梨訊)旅居雪梨書畫家周幹全去年3月假香港大會堂舉行的個展十分成功，好評如潮。現將於6月1日至6日移師雪梨，在車士活中華文化中心展出。

周氏1942年出生於中國廣東省，自幼愛好繪畫，冶書畫篆刻藝術於一爐。1964年拜新文人畫派宗師司徒奇為師（司徒奇乃嶺南派始創人高劍父之入室弟子）。周氏之畫深得乃師用筆、用墨、用色、用粉之奧秘。舉凡牡丹、紅棉、孔雀、白鷺等，皆得乃師之神髓。後隨名詩人兼書法家陳荊鴻學習書法，名篆刻家陳語山學習篆刻。
自1985年移居澳洲，工餘之暇仍不斷創作及鑽研中國書畫，退休後在車士活中華文化中心教授書畫，弘揚國粹。此次展覽匯集周氏歷年之畫作，連同部分學員的作品一同展出。歡迎各界人士撥冗參觀。

展覽地點：車士活中華文化中心799 Pacific Highway, Chatswood。開放時間：星期一至六上午10時至下午1時及下午1時30分至4時（星期日休息）。查詢電話：(02) 9411 3799。

賦賀周幹全老師畫展 蘇楹

輕筆墨點玲瓏，花鳥依依解語中。
休道雁南尋柳影，亳端依舊笑春風。

其二
南國丹青動眼眸，姚黃魏紫溯風流。
蒼城享譽譽清雅，筆底飛花花更幽。

Acknowledgements
