Cheng Tsai Tung & Chen Heng
Hanart TZ Gallery is pleased to present the duo exhibition of Cheng Tsai-Tung and Chen Heng, opening on 17 December 2022. The exhibition features new paintings from the last few years, displayed against selected examples of earlier works.
In recent years, Cheng Tsai-Tung has increasingly shifted to a state of solitude in which his interlocutors remain the ancients alone. Through classical poetry, he has slowly found ways to crystallize these complex sentiments into a faint melancholy. He condenses his personal tales and sensibility into the mise-en-sc猫ne of colourful moonlight, and at the same time morphs himself into a sentient being within the stream of history.
Chen Heng emphasizes 鈥渞ealization鈥� and 鈥渢ranscendence鈥� in his art. In four decades of artistic journey, he has continuously sought to sublimate his representational skills and to refine images to seek the cultural meaning of imagery. He deconstructs the ingredients of oil painting to seek aesthetics that suit a Chinese context. This includes his interpretation of the 鈥榥egative鈥� space of ink painting (the 鈥榖lank鈥� liubai) as an extra-visual context and highlighting visual scenes as mental 鈥榚vents鈥� and 鈥榯hings鈥�.
