Tung yue nang 邓汝能

Tung Yue Nang utilises the medium of Chinese ink on rice paper to capture the mystic beauties of cultural landscapes. Capturing the difference in densities of the ink pigment, he passionately depicts the details and characters of architectural elements. This unique style reflected from his artworks brings back nostalgic memories from the olden days and the timeless traits of different cultural places.

Tung Yue Nang’s interest and practice in Tao Te Ching philosophy has had a great impact and influence on his artistic pursuits and direction. Initially focusing on traditional Chinese painting, Tung’s artistic philosophy of reconciling art with life, enabled him to combine Western art concepts and media with Chinese art styles and expression. The Tao philosophy focuses on harmony and tranquillity amidst chaos and disorder, which is reflected in Tung’s art in his choice of subjects and composition.
