新藝潮總監邢珠迪表示︰「培育新世代藝術家及提供平台推廣是新藝潮的使命之一。鑑於過去半年藝文界受疫情影響下，全球藝術市場、博覽會都被迫暫停或改以網上形式展示，對藝術家的創作、前路等問題引起沖擊、思考，與此同時亦啟發他們創作。舉辦是次銷售展覽，除了提供平台讓一班藝術家以藝術作品帶我們回顧過去，也帶我們走出疫境，發放正能量外，也期望能推動藝術市場，幫助藝文界重上正軌。是次的銷售作品價格豐儉由人，價錢由數百元至數萬元不等。我們希望由普羅市民至收藏家，都能夠欣賞及支持這一批記載香港藝術界以至整個社會一段不平凡歷史的重要藝術作品。」

“Despite the negative impact that the pandemic and social distancing have had on the global economy and our daily lives, they have also forced us to reflect on what matters most to us as individuals and as a community,” said Ms Judy Inn, Director of Art Next and Curator of the Exhibition. “These are without any doubt very difficult times, and yet we are also seeing some positive outcomes: our planet is healthier, more people are embracing new technologies like ZOOM, and new business opportunities have emerged.”
Ms Inn added, “With its power to connect people, art has never been more important. ‘+VE/-VE’ captures not only the creative sensibilities of over 40 talented local artists but also reflects the common experience of Hong Kong people as a whole. Like many of us, artists have suffered financially during this difficult time. We hope the exhibition will function to reconnect them with art collectors and help them get through the current challenges they are facing. All the works in the exhibition are reasonably priced, making this a great opportunity for art lovers and collectors to acquire good quality works that represent an important moment in Hong Kong’s art development.”
