Represented artists:
- Yang, Tze-Yun
Yang, Tze-Yun (Taiwan, 1954- ) was trained in the Traditional Chinese Calligraphy from the age of 16. After his graduation at the Chinese Culture University, where he received his MA in Fine Arts, he went to Belgium as a research fellow at the Department of Philosophy in Belgium and later started his doctorate research in Art History at the University of Gen
t. Since the 80’s, he has sought to step away from the boundaries of “words” in the traditional calligraphy, using a new style that closely resembles abstract expressionism. Yet, he doesn't think of his own art in such terms. “If the art is still trapped in titles, then it has missed the point. True to his words, Yang, Tze-Yun isn't restricted by one medium. At the age of 36, he found enlightenment in the Greek tragedies and myths. Inspired by the liberator Eleutherios he was able to escape from the oppressiveness of Confucianism in his calligraphy. Thanks to the spirit of Dionysus he started on a complete new journey exploring expressions of spontaneous, free writing and painting. As a painter, sculpture and opera singer, there are few artists like him who is so versatile in various fields. Yang, Tze-Yun started his career in Europe in 1996 when he participated in Lineart, the International Art Fair in Ghent.
