Reception 11:15 Mon. 25th Feb. Face to face with the artist Weekdays 12:00-19:00 / Weekend 12:00-17:00 / National Holiday 228 Peace Memorial Day closed Artist Minglung Tung once said, “Let the creation return to its life hometown. Mountains, sky, caves and streams are my childhood memories. Stone is the material given by Nature, the thing that I have been familiar with for a long time. I try to relieve from heavy things, transforming the eternity of emptiness and reality.” The vast and endless nature in Hualien breeds Minglung Tung. Since childhood, Tung had a strong interest in stone carving. When he grew elder, Lixian Xu, an artist that Tung learned art from, had trained Tung in his studio. Tung won a championship in a national competition and was selected as a representative of “stone carving”. At present, Tung teaches in “Stone and Styling”, “Stone Carving”, “Machinery operations and Security” and other courses in Taipei National University of the Arts. Especially, Tung invents, designs and produced personal carving tools and he generously shares with his peers and benefits other artists. “Cave vs Sky” exhibition artworks includes stone sculpture and wood sculpture. Artist Minglung Tung transforms the scenery which derives from his childhood memories from mountains, sky, caves and streams in Hualien to abstract shapes through pondering. The erect columnar stands straight, extends upward, pursues infinitely, which shows the connotation of emptiness and reality, and it not only symbolizes both the beginning and the lightness but reminiscent the natural features of Hualien. Minglung Tung’s diligent and hardworking spirit in creating is as deep and introverted as the stone, which condensed succinct beauty and original vitality, arousing our true feelings and resonance with emptiness and reality of the sculpture.
