NCKU architecture professor showcase calligraphy and seal carving
Tainan, Taiwan, 15 March, 2012
An exhibition of calligraphy of Chinese classical and modern poetry and seal carving by Wu Yu-Cheng, professor of architecture at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, was on display at Yun-Ping building windows at Guang-Fu Campus of NCKU.
A selection of 7 reels of Chinese classical poems, 2 pieces of modern poems, both in cursive script, and 6 seals to demonstrate the beauty of seal script, exemplifying the quintessence of Wu’s artistic creation since 2007.
Not diligent enough to be a productive artist, Wu modestly said, but only write when he can resonate with the verse and feel the impulse to write it down with calligraphic style.
One of the most eye-catching masterpieces is a Su Tung-Po’s poem delicately written on a reel in cursive script, displaying perfect visual presenting of Chinese calligraphy.
Wu adores the wild emotion and free spirit harboring in Su Tung-Po’s drinking wine poem and has written the poem several times each year and until recently Wu feels comfortable to showcase the best work.
Another piece is a poem by Wen Ting-Yun, a poet of late Tang Dynasty, in which the first two words of the poem is omitted on purpose so that the visual balance and the ultimate beauty of calligraphic art are attainable.
“I have tried all the scripts of Chinese calligraphy and chosen cursive script as the major style to perform my recent calligraphic work for cursive script is so expressive to my heart,” Wu sensibly described his creative approach, “when writing with pure pleasure, I perceive the perfect harmony between the hands and heart.”
As a full-time professor of architecture, Wu doesn’t have much time left to devote into his pursue for calligraphy and seal carving. He can only spend weekend and holiday on the most cheerful experience of exploring the beauty of Chinese characters and verses which makes his works so concise and refine.
The exhibition will run through the end of March.enditem/
