H. C. HEE '86（右下）

美國私人收藏

This work is in good condition. There are pinhead-sized paint losses along the top left corner and the bottom edge, but not intrusive to the image. There is a horizontal line across the top and lower registers, possibly consistent with the material used. There are two small spots of accretion right of the lady holding the drum. There is also a light scratch towards the bottom edge, 35 cm from the right edge. Under UV light there is evidence of touch ups scattered along the central panel.

「一位好的藝術家必須是要有想法與想像力的, 並且可見超乎物象的美，它必須將內心對外在事物的反芻與想像世界的結晶表現於畫布之上，而這結晶並且結合了東方陰陽韻律與西方美學思維。」
許漢超

在《歡愉》一作中，許漢超既吸取了古埃及壁畫以橫向穩定構圖敘事的傳統，又結合了剪紙片般的人物，流露出類似皮影戲的民間藝術趣味。許漢超能海納百川，將相異元素自然和諧地融合於他的創作中，其藝術功力和美學素養可見一斑。
