Biografie

Ik ben geboren in Hong Kong. Na mijn afstuderen aan the Chinese University of  Hong Kong 1975, vestigde ik mij vanaf 1979 in Nederland.  Ik werkte van 1980 tot 1990 als beëdigd tolk en vertaler. Van 1990 tot 2004 was ik eindredacteur van het Chinese programma van de NPS Radio. Vanaf 2004 zet ik mijn werk voort in de beeldende kunst:  Ondertussen heb ik een korte periode gestudeerd aan de Amsterdamse Hoogeschool voor de Kunsten. Chinese kalligrafie praktiseer ik al van jongs af aan.

陳耐持簡介

中國文字基於象型，每一個字本身就是一幅抽象圖畫，充滿著千變萬化的點劃線條。歷代書法家利用毛筆，墨和紙，加上個人的心靈感性，在過去的五千年來積累了無數藝術神品。耐持自幼深愛書法，尤其喜愛觀賞草書的跳動活力，經常抄襲古人字帖。十一年前全職投身藝術創作，八年前才真正領悟到張芝，張旭和懷素作品內的音樂節拍，從而試驗用音樂來寫草書。最初用從大自然山脈河流中吸取到的節奏感，推動筆法，後來發覺西方現代簡約音樂，完全可以和狂草結合。用簡約音樂中冥想和重複的節拍，推動筆墨，彈奏點劃線條，是那麼的天衣無縫，互相吻合，書寫時舒暢輕快，經常進入忘我境界，其樂無窮，是為最高的精神享受！每天一寫就是數小時，流出來的一百米，一千米或二千米長的字畫，展覽完後通常讓觀眾玩弄長卷或創新，然後消毀。
陳耐持出生香港，七五年中大畢業後定居荷蘭，曾任中荷文翻譯員，國家電台中文部節目總監，十四年前全職投身視覺藝術，近年作品以音樂書法為主，展覽巨型音樂狂草裝置，現場表演音樂狂草書法，並和本土藝術家，一起表演中西書法及舞蹈行為藝術。作品曾在阿姆斯特丹NDSM Art City, Hilversum Museum, Amsterdam Foam Museum, City Hall Hilversum, 為荷蘭日於香港中文大學展出及表演, 及Gorinchem市2019藝術節參展。以千米狂草裝置「無盡的節奏」帶動，在2017-2018期間，在荷蘭策劃了三個荷蘭，香港及中國文化交流展。
