Artwork Statement 作品簡介 
 
As a graduate of the first year of the Hong Kong Academy of Fine Arts, Au Yeung Nai Chim created a series of street sketches of Hong Kong Island in the mid-to-late 1950s. With the vision and skill of a young artist, these works truthfully reflect the streetscape of Hong Kong at that time, and a record of the artist's daily life in the neighbourhood as well. 
 
作為香港美專第一屆畢業生，歐陽乃沾繪畫於上世紀五十年代中後期的一批香港港島區街頭寫生素描，以一個年青創作者的眼界和手筆，如實反映了當年香港的市街風貌和民生百態，也是工作和生活在這片街區的畫者本人的日常生活創作紀錄。
