Ink painting is regarded as an important art form in Asia. This year, with funding from the Ministry of Culture, the Taipei Cultural Center in New York has invited U.S.-based Taiwanese artist Charles Liu and Kazuko Takizawa from the Tenri Cultural Institute of New York to co-curate the “Ink Imagists” exhibition. Unlike previous collaborations that have been organized on bilateral basis between Taiwan and the U.S. or Taiwan and Japan, this event marks the first time that the three countries are working together to co-present artwork by some of their best ink painting artists.
With total of 8 artists participating in the event, the lineup from Taiwan represents the island’s ink painting history over the past half century. Apart from National Cultural Award winner Chiag Ming-Shyan and ink painting heavy weights Huang Kuang-Nan, Lo Cheng-Hsien, Charles Liu, and artists such as Chang Fu-Chun, Yeung Chit and Huang Chien-Lun, who represent the younger generation of ink painters and the innovative and modern style of ink painting, will also have their works on display.
