這個由 Kendra Zvonik 所創作，共四十五幅的”都市夜曲”系列，表達了對都市的情感。

我在香港生活了這麼多年，城市的生活令人緊促不安，還有一大堆的如太擠迫，空氣差，噪音問題等等 … 不覺得都市有甚麼美。作者很巧妙結合城市鳥瞰圖，和正常應該是垂直的熒光管構圖，文織出都市的夜曲，顯示出日常生活迷人的一面。在她的畫中遊走之際，這感覺既熟識，亦陌生。

作者很明顯受 Jackson Pollock 的影響，還有點Nicholas de Stael的影子，只是倒轉過來（Nicholas de Stael 很喜歡將兩種在腦海中不是很大分別的構圖和顏色，幾乎完全分割出來，以營造碰撞感）。這個九十度角的融合顯現出城市夜色之美。

The Urban Nocturne series (45 paintings) by Kendra Zvonik expresses the feeling of the urban. The artist is so smart to use the night light and city scape to draw the rythm.

Where I live is a over-populated city, I don’t really love the life here because of the problems of all cities – pollution, over-crowd, noise … Kendra did show me metropolitan charm, dynamic and mystery. I could enjoy the beauty of the urban life at home. That is a enchanting experience, so close but distant.

I could feel the Jackson Pollock and Nicholas de Stael spirits on the paintings.  Kendra draws the cityscape top view with fluorescent light. This new combination (horizontal cityscape and vertical fluorescent light composition) did introduce me a new strange island : the Urban Nocturne.

I group and hang them all on a wall. No matter how I arrange them, it could not come up to the best order. Yes, actually it is alive. You did fly from one painting to another, you would never know where to start, and where to stop.
