Allen Tang (鄧國富 b.1957),新加坡當代藝術家,他的抽象作品受西方後現代主義影響,加以對中國傳統文化、書法及篆刻的深刻理解,形成了獨具特色的多元化當代風格。
他的畫作色彩斑斕,是受東南亞零緯度熱帶陽光直射的環境影響和多民族文化融合的產物,極富張力。同時,設計師的職業背景使其作品將抽象的構圖展現出極強的空間感,又因有收藏古董的經驗,畫面具有現代感的同時也有古拙風韻的氣質。
思想上,縱觀歷史,退去潮流,人類一直在探索關於人與自然、時間、靈魂、慾望和宇宙的思考與想象。他通過作品描述了自己對宇宙和量子力學的理解,呈現了時間和空間堆疊的視覺效果,以及對未知和未來的豁達的心態。
這種跨文化的藝術實踐不僅是對傳統的致敬,也是對當代文化多樣性的生動呈現與深入探索。Allen Tang的作品富有生命的活力和數十載不負初心的瀟灑,為新加坡藝術界注入了新的生機,成為新一代藝術家的靈感源泉。他的作品不拘泥於媒介,擅長在亞克力板上創作,通過這一創造性的實踐,他在色彩方面取得了更大的突破。另外,他也涉足NFT領域,進一步擴大了自己的藝術影響力。
Allen Tang (邓国富 b.1957) is a contemporary Singaporean artist whose abstract art is characterized by the influences of Western postmodernism and a deep understanding of Chinese historical culture, calligraphy, and seal engraving. This fusion has resulted in a distinctively diverse contemporary style.
His artworks, vibrant in color, reflect the tropical sunlight of Southeast Asia's zero latitude and the amalgamation of multiple ethnicities, exuding a remarkable energy. Furthermore, Tang's background as a designer imbues his compositions with a strong sense of spatial depth. Drawing from his experience in antique collecting, his paintings possess a modern aesthetic while also evoking an ancient charm.
Conceptually, humanity has long pondered the relationships between humans and nature, time, the soul, desires, and the universe. Through his art, Tang explores his own understanding of the universe and quantum mechanics, presenting visually layered depictions of time and space, alongside a forward-looking attitude towards the unknown and the future.
This cross-cultural artistic endeavor not only pays homage to tradition but also vividly presents and deeply explores the diversity of contemporary culture. Tang's works, brimming with lively vitality and fueled by decades of unwavering dedication, infuse new vigor and vitality into the Singaporean art scene, serving as a wellspring of inspiration for the new generation of artists. Proficient in painting on acrylic boards, this experimental practice has allowed him to explore a wider range of colors and textures. Additionally, he has ventured into the realm of NFTs, expanding his artistic reach.
