[Estranged Light] is a piece of Tsong's Frequency of Thought Series.
Frequency of Thought is the subseries of Shinning Meet. Tsong Pu applied different structures and colors to the pieces in his art series Frequency of Thought. Having regular, orderly compositions featured by soft shades as well as coarse and fine lines, these pieces are strongly reminiscent of frequency displays. To be specific, this series gave rise to the viewer’s synaesthesia in which stimulation of visual sense automatically leads to auditory one, representing the artist’s spiritual pursuits of an ideal, harmonious frequency for his life.
Tsong Pu’s career as an artist has spanned nearly 40 years since he returned from Spain in 1981, bringing him an iconic status in the Taiwanese contemporary art scene. More specific, he is not only a minimalist artist in the spotlight, but also a bellwether for material and ideational innovation in the pluralistic genealogy of Taiwanese contemporary art. His achievements and reputation rest as much upon his long-term forward-looking horizons for creation, as upon his brilliant, sui generis philosophy of art evolved from his prolific career over the past four decades.
