Xie Ke
謝克 1955年出生於香港，是當代藝壇少見具備深厚設計背景、國際策展經驗及跨地域文化視野的多棲藝術家。1980年以訪問學者身分赴北京中央工藝美術學院（現清華大學美術學院），是文革後首位赴京深造藝術的香港人。
謝克被視為連接中、港、新藝術交流的橋樑。他曾在新加坡創辦畫廊「客藝廊」，長時間旅居北京、新加坡；及後到台灣、日本進行文化研究與藝術實踐，身兼雕塑家、畫家、設計師及策展人多重身分。他現為香港美協成員，其跨越半世紀的藝術征途使其在當代藝術界擁有極高的資歷與學術話語權。
雕塑作品風格明快，常以簡潔、幽默的造型傳遞公平、正義與理想。他擅長將嚴肅的文化反思包裝在輕鬆的視覺語言中。
標誌性的雕塑多以奮力向上的孩童為主體，象徵生命的鮮活力量與社會未來的棟樑，散發積極正向的能量。
脫胎於設計師背景，精準的比例美學，他對雕塑的比例控制極其優美精緻，常使用高鉻鋼等現代材質，營造出優雅且具時代感的工業美學質感。
他的繪畫作品則將廣告設計的視覺衝擊力轉化為藝術語言。畫面常以平面化、符號化的方式重構文化圖景，構圖嚴謹，色彩飽和，充滿了一種冷靜的幽默與對時代變遷的敏銳觀察。
Xie Ke, born in Hong Kong in 1955, is a rare multi-disciplinary artist in the contemporary art scene, possessing a profound design background, international curatorial experience, and a cross-regional cultural perspective. In 1980, he traveled to Beijing as a visiting scholar at the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts (now the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University), becoming the first Hong Kong artist to pursue advanced studies in Beijing after the Cultural Revolution.
Xie Ke is regarded as a bridge connecting artistic exchanges between China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. He founded the “Ke Gallery” in Singapore and resided long-term in Beijing and Singapore. He later conducted cultural research and artistic practice in Taiwan and Japan, embodying multiple roles as a sculptor, painter, designer, and curator. Currently a member of the Hong Kong Artists Association, his half-century artistic journey has earned him immense prestige and scholarly authority within the contemporary art world.
His sculptures feature a vibrant style, often conveying themes of fairness, justice, and ideals through concise, humorous forms. He excels at packaging serious cultural reflections within lighthearted visual language.
His signature sculptures often feature children striving upward, symbolizing life's vibrant energy and society's future pillars, radiating positive vitality.
Drawing from his design background, he demonstrates exquisite control over proportions. Frequently employing modern materials like high-chromium steel, he creates an elegant, contemporary industrial aesthetic.
His paintings transform the visual impact of advertising design into artistic expression. His compositions reconstruct cultural landscapes through flattened, symbolic imagery—characterized by rigorous structure, saturated color, and a cool humor infused with acute observations of societal shifts.
