From a farmer's child to an internationally acclaimed calligrapher, Tu Chung-Kao forged his own path in the art of calligraphy with unwavering dedication and focus. He believes that even from an illiterate background, a deep love for characters can allow one to carve out self-worth between the brush and ink. In his early years, Tu studied Northern Stele scripts under Wang Kai, later becoming a disciple of Wang Chuang-chih and one of the "Seven Disciples of Wang." His foundation in calligraphy is profound. He also studied landscape painting with Fu Chien-fu; though he later focused on calligraphy, the training in composition and spatial awareness is deeply embedded in his work. Subsequently, he visited renowned calligraphers, seeking advice from Wang Pei-yue, Hsieh Tsung-an, Yao Meng-ku, and others. Under Wang Pei-yue's recommendation, he further honed his skills by studying seal script with the master Hsi Nan-hsun, gradually refining his techniques and comprehending the subtleties of the Way of Calligraphy. In 1977, Tu Chung-Kao met the esteemed Master Nan Huai-Chin, delving deeply into Buddhist studies and Zen meditation. From then on, his creative vision expanded beyond mere technical refinement to embodying life philosophy. He transformed "calligraphy" into a form of spiritual practice, observing the self and reflecting the universe in every stroke. His characters are not just words; they are the flow of the soul, the pulse of the spirit. Tu Chung-Kao is more than just a calligrapher; he is a "LOHAS" practitioner who lives his philosophy through writing. He has never placed art in an ivory tower but has, with a sincere heart and practical brush, journeyed into the depths of life, writing chapters that belong to the era and to himself. | Specifications Dimensions: H10 × W14.8cm Packaging Material: OPP Bag Product Material: Art Paper Quantity: 1 pc / pack Origin: Taiwan
