SIT
SIT – " 9 "
In the eastern parts of the world 9 is a lucky number. To SIT it means new found luck. It was a strange encounter with a goldfish in Hong Kong that made him feel lucky again.
Lost in the dark realms of this city his heart bleeding from a broken relationship and his vision blurred by cheap Chinese whisky SIT stumbled across a goldfish with enormous eyes in a shop window. Hypnotized by this eerie image he saw this goldfish transform into a 9 and heard a deep voice whispering ‘follow number 9 and luck will come your way again’. In the wake of this story his wallet was gone of course but knew he had struck gold. A better tomorrow was on its way. Those familiar with SIT know this story could only happen to a joyful and free spirit like him. Currently residing in Sao Paulo, Brasil he masterminded 9 exclusive works paying hommage to his new lucky charm, the goldfish. Where black has turned into gold and life has a better tomorrow. Jinyu to all of you.
" 9 " exhibition is a cultural event sponsored by the Consulate General of the Netherlands in Hong Kong.
About SIT
SIT (AMSTERDAM,1976)
Artist SIT has been part of the Amsterdam creative scene for many years. Doing action painting, graphic design, advertising and more - until he got fed up. He went back to square one to find his true essence. Back to head and handcraft. This is the fourth solo exhibition from SIT. His previous exhibitions included:
UNWIRED (2008)
Unwired is the documented process of his everyday struggle to get unwired. It showed the progress from feeling lost to finding purity. All visualized in black and white.
SITAKI (2008)
In his exhibition Sitaki SIT highlights the painful antithesis between Mother Nature and today’s implacable materialistic society, that mankind has created for itself.
DRKPNK (2009)
DRKPNK is a mix of beauty, light-heartedness, surrealism, sex, colour, humour, movements and contemporary dynamics.

SIT – “ 9 ”
在東方世界，9是吉祥數字
對SIT來說，9意味著他重新找到的幸運。這次展覽名為<< 9 >>， 是荷蘭畫家SIT利用9幅畫作表達他如何由人生低潮重新找到希望和快樂。
曾經在黑暗中迷失的SIT，有著一段令他心碎的愛情。到處遊歷是為了擺脫已往的不快經歷和珈琑。早前到香港旅遊更經歷一段金魚奇緣。一晚，在香港這繁榮鬧市，抽過幾根香煙，喝過幾杯廉價中國威士忌，SIT的視覺開始變得模糊，隔著一家商店櫥窗，如幻似真的看到一雙金魚的大眼睛，這金魚更慢慢變成了數字9。未幾，SIT聽到一把低沉的聲音跟他耳語，說 “跟隨9這數字，幸運便會回來你身邊。”
在這夢幻故事過後，當SIT清醒過來，他的錢包不見了，但是他知道他已得到猶如拾了金牌般的靈感，一個更美好的明天就在他前方。
熟悉SIT的朋友知道這種奇遇只會發生在SIT這個充滿歡欣和自由的靈魂身上，現時旅居於巴西聖保羅，SIT運用他自成一格的美術風格，繪畫出九幅幸運金魚油畫。東方的吉祥物，佩上西方流行的藝術風格，加上SIT流麗的筆觸，栩栩如生的金魚活現眼前。當沉鬱的黑色亦已變成了燦爛的金色，生命也有個更美好的明天。願金魚與你同在。
SIT "9" 展覽是荷蘭駐香港領事館贊助的文化活動。
