Double Square 双方藝廊

Wu Tung-Lung
Born in Taipei in 1976, Wu Tung-Lung graduated from the Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts, Tainan National University of the Arts in 2004. He has conducted artist residencies in New York, Scotland, and Paris. Throughout the years, Wu has been exploring symbolic representation of organic forms and rhythmic arrangement of geometric lines in the art of painting. Using elements such as line, color, volume, and space to fabricate his own artistic style and producing unique surface texture through repeated brushing, he constructs solid and compact surface imbued with tension and sculptural quality. Carefully examining the development of his painting, there exists contrast of the opposite and integration of conflicts in different series. His rational images with pure and minimalistic symbols are filled with personal emotions. His canvas, processed by hands, reveals rich layers of monochromatic colors and visual penetration of different color tones. Underneath the tranquil, cold tableau lies a space for the audience to experience the succinct, elegant colors and to discover the corresponding relationships between the inner spirituality and the external world that the artist pursues.
