#那年我們在阿波羅畫廊
今天是5/1勞動節，紀念勞動階層對社會的貢獻。46年前的勞動節，阿波羅畫廊與藝術家洪瑞麟發起「五一勞動節，救援永安煤礦災變」作品義賣。洪瑞麟向來關懷勞動階層、貧困族群。曾經在瑞芳擔任礦工30多年的洪瑞麟，聽聞礦坑災變消息感到極度悲傷。售出作品的收益，全數救助災變。
洪瑞麟擔任礦工期間，隨身攜帶畫本和筆，趁工作的空檔，以速寫的方式紀錄礦工的日常。運用水墨勾勒出簡練的線條、奔放的筆觸，流暢地呈現礦工的結實肌肉和歷經風霜的臉孔，搭配暗色調，栩栩如生重現礦坑場景，流露出人道精神。不僅帶給後人認識礦工生活，更成為其代表性系列作品，得到礦工畫家的稱號。

On Labor Day in 1980, Apollo Art Gallery, together with artist Hung Jui-Ling, launched a charity sale titled “Labor Day: Relief for the Yong’an Coal Mine Disaster.”
Hung Jui-Ling had long been devoted to the concerns of the working class and underprivileged communities. Having worked as a miner in Ruifang for over 30 years, he was deeply saddened upon hearing the news of the mining disaster. All proceeds from the sale of the artworks were donated in full to support disaster relief efforts.
During his years as a miner, Hung Jui-Ling always carried a sketchbook and pen with him, using spare moments at work to capture miners’ daily lives through quick sketches. With ink, he rendered concise lines and expressive brushstrokes, fluidly depicting the miners’ strong physiques and weathered faces. Combined with a dark tonal palette, his works vividly recreate scenes from the mines, revealing a profound humanitarian spirit.
These works not only offer later generations a glimpse into the lives of miners, but also became his most representative series, earning him the title of “the miner-artist.”
