For the past two years, the New Ink Movement has been a hot topic in the art market, with Sotheby’s and Christie’s interest in the traditional ink medium, spurring record-breaking sales of contemporary ink painting. Today, artists are breathing new life into the age-old art form.
The two artists from TKG+ present a collection of works distinguished by the artists’ repetitive body movements. Charwei Tsai handwrote the Buddhist text Heart Sutra on a large piece of incense, before she placed it on a mirror reflecting the skyline of Hong Kong, and lit it up as an offering to the city and as an act of contemplation on transience. Venturing into the ambiguous terrain between traditional painting and digital imaging, Wu Chi-Tsung reinterprets the landscape through a careful wielding of film, photography, and printing theories, giving Asian contemporary art a modern twist.
During Art Taipei 2014, TKG+ is pleased to announce the opening of Yuan Goang-Ming’s solo exhibition on November 1. Shuttle service is available on the day of the opening, from the exhibition venue of Art Taipei (Taipei World Trade Center) to TKG+ in Neihu. The shuttle leaves at 6:00 p.m. More information is available at Booth B04.
