About Work
[OSABAMA] is a piece of Tsong's Greeting Series.
Greeting is an art series that reflects how Tsong Pu conducts himself in his daily life. For him, arts have always come from living; to wit, the way in which one lives his/her life.
Both the artist’s feedback to external stimulation and the moments of epiphanies he experienced find expression in this series, examples including the challenges arising in the Information Age, the elapsing of time, Zenist meditation, and even animations, comics, as well as the motion of the little green man, an animated traffic signal in Taiwan. Echoing his concern about his past and future, the artist greets the external world with his mesmerizing paintings. They are his experiences and memories incarnate, bearing witness to his true self.
About Artist
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.
