走入周俊輝的工作室，被一系列以的士為題材的畫作吸引著。抽象畫看不懂，唯有這些實在的才能勾起一點聯想。
後來翻看資料，原來這位中大藝術系學士及碩士生，出道早期揸的士為生。生活逼人，藝術家不能光是傷春悲秋，感嘆懷才不遇就能成功。
他把一段經歷真實地呈現，豐富了自己的人生及作品。現在沒聽說他在揸的士，拿了幾個藝術大獎，大概是熬過來，能專心作畫了吧！
他的另一幅作品 《紅》，節錄了 1969年 Mark Rothko 在耶魯大學的演講，內容很有意思：
"When I was a young man Art was a lonely thing; no galleries, no collectors, no critics, no money. Yet it was a golden age, for then we had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the same. It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, and consumption. Which condition is better for the world at large, I will not venture to discuss. But I do know that many who are driven to this life are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where thy can root and grow. We must all hope that they find them."
