Wang Gon-Jer

Born in 1971 in Taipei. In 2009 Wang Gon-Jer received his Ph.D. in Fine Art at Auckland University, New Zealand. He currently teaches at Tainan University of Technology. His works have been exhibited in various countries around the world such as, New Zealand, Japan, the USA, Taiwan, Canada, Italy, China, etc. Wang pursued deep and solid concrete forms and techniques in the early days of his artistic creative process. After being inspired by religious beliefs, he has turned to the pursuit of sublimating the external life experience into the inner spiritual feeling. Through his intuition, he combines the nature, spirituality, and emotion experienced in life into one, and precipitated it into the natural and profound vibe on the canvas. His sketches make use of charcoal to remove the image, and manage numerous lines of varying lengths with rhythmic and structural characteristics in the painting. These works of art combine the impressionistic brushwork of East Asian ink wash painting and the spirit of Western abstract painting, making the viewer feel like being in the vast universe and wandering in the macroscopic and organic aesthetic experience.
