Overview

Wu Chi-Tsung is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work seamlessly weaves Western and Chinese arts both on a technical and philosophical level. He received his BFA in 2004 from the Taipei National University of the Arts. After decades of creating experimental ink paintings, Wu turned to photography, video and installations, finding in these new media compelling conceptual stratagems that spurred new and dynamic approaches to making images.

 

Wu’s signature Wrinkled Texture and Cyano-Collage series explore the process of “recording light” on Xuan paper. In 2012, Wu began the Wrinkled Texture series with the intention to reinterpret the traditional Texturing method (Cun Fa) of Chinese landscape painting. Instead of using ink and brush, Wu utilizes a classical photographic technique Cyanotype, to treat his Textures. He shows the world that he could somehow manipulate the unpredictable, creating beautiful illustrations of the relationship between man and nature.

 

Wu has won numerous awards, and one notable one is the Liu Kuo-Sung Ink Art Award in 2019. His works are in public collections at the Asian ArtMuseum, United States; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, United States; M+ Museum, Hong Kong; UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, China; among others. Wu currently lives and works in Taipei, with working studios in Berlin and Ho Chi Minh City.
