Tsai Wei-Cheng has gained international recognition over the past two decades. In these two decades, the concept of his art work is based on the main character“Sun Wu-Kong”from the classic Chinese literature“Journey to the West”. Through a combination of wit and subtlety in his sculptural language, he interprets the profound philosophical spirit of the East. His latest series of works, titled Phenomena Beyond Appearances will be showcased at ART TAIPEI 2023. The phrase Phenomena Beyond Appearances refers to the notion that all phenomena are mere appearances and not the essence. Drawing inspiration from Chinese characters and the fluidity of calligraphy, the artist ingeniously combines form, meaning and pronunciation. By unraveling the original essence of words and providing interpretations, guiding viewers to uncover the profound truths of life.
