Early life and education

edit

Teng was born in Taichung City, Taiwan Province, in 1962. He is a descendant of the 16th generation of Taiwanese ancestor Teng Yanba(鄧彥拔)[4] Tun(敦).[a] He has been fond of painting since he was a child and began to teach himself painting at the age of six.[5] His grandfather, Teng Kung-hsien (鄧恭賢) (name Hui Fu(慧福)), took over as director of Guanshan Temple in Taichung City.[6] The abbot made great efforts to renovate the temple, hired sculptors to make Buddha statues, and painters to paint paintings. Teng Ming-Tun saw the production process with his own eyes and became very interested in it. There were calligraphy tools on the table of his grandfather who studied calligraphy, so he often borrowed them to teach himself.

Writing lays a good foundation,[3] starting from the second grade of elementary school, he often participated in sketching and competitions as well. In elementary school in fifth standard he won the first place in the sketching competition in the central part of Taichung Zhongshan Park in grade 1, and has studied harder since then. He studied in Juren Junior High School in Taichung. He studied painting with Li Yuande[7] for three years and sketched in various places in Taichung. He studied in Taichung in high school. In the Art Department of Mingdao Middle School, he learned more art-related skills. He studied bamboo carving and three-dimensional arts and crafts with the bamboo sculptor Chen Chunming.[8]

Career

edit

After completing his military service, he worked in advertising art design and real estate agency planning. In 1992, he began to delve into pure art research and creation, focusing on oil painting. In 1997, he was invited to hold his first solo exhibition at the Fanshi Art Center in Taichung.[9] Later, he continued to create and publish works at his home studio in Dali. In 2006, he established a studio in the southern district of Taichung City, where he created paintings and taught students. He began to record the creative process with videos and published them online for appreciation and research. The studio moved back to Dali, Taichung in 2017.In 2019, he began to create a series of abstract paintings, and in 2021, he began to promote the exhibition of the first chapter of ink and wash cursive paintings.[10][11]

From 1992 to 2008, he mainly studied landscapes, either realistic or freehand. Influenced by French Impressionism, he was good at expressing light and color.[12] He was deeply influenced by Claude Monet. In addition to depicting landscapes, he also tried to use Impressionist brushwork and colors to express the East. He painted characters such as Guanyin, Vajrapani, Vajrayakṣa, Zhong Kui[13] in a fusion of Chinese and Western styles.[14] Later, he incorporated Fauvism into semi-abstract paintings, similar to Liao Chi-chun's style. In 1995, he visited Jiufen and was deeply moved. Later, he used Impressionism combined with the style and techniques of Fauvism to complete the work Jiufen Spring 50F.[15][16]

From 2009 to 2018, he created the Misty series. The paintings are completely completed with a single purple-blue painting. Layers of misty fog are used to express the cold light atmosphere, giving the characters a vague feeling in the visual images. The inner expression of the painting symbolizes history, concepts, doctrines, habits, memories etc., which gradually change and disappear with the passage of time. This series of works has a unique painting style.[17][18] Famous works include: Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh,[19] ink painter Zhang Daqian,[20] Taiwanese senior painter Li Meishu,[21] Tamsui Guanyin Mountain (King of Kinmen, Li Binghui).[22] He started creating in an abstract style in 2019, and produced a series of three works entitled: Ink and Wash Cursive, One is Everything, and Qi and Molecules.

His creations, based on figurative and impressionistic techniques, combine the moist and transparent nature of ink and the thick and opaque characteristics of dry brushwork of oil painting, presenting different abstract paintings.[23] Using Chinese cursive strokes as elements, he combined dry oil painting and ink wet rendering to create ink cursive abstract paintings, showing new ideas in abstract creation of oil paintings. The launch of this series has opened up new forms of artistic expression for contemporary abstract art in Taiwan.[11] Famous works include Taixu,[11][24] an ink and cursive oil painting created in 2021, which predicted that the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) international cooperation project would release Sagittarius A at the center of the Milky Way on the evening of May 12, 2022, Taiwan time.[25]

In 2022, he started to create Soul of Mountains and Spirits of Trees, trying to use realistic techniques to depict and record the majestic mountains and forest scenery in Taiwan.[3]
