Mountains in the Mist

Born in Kaohsiung, Su Chung-ming graduated from Tunghai University. Learning from both the traditional masters and nature, Su refines his painterly skills and sought his own artistic identity in the form of his New Elegant Programme which emphasises subjective emotional expression. His landscapes are odes to nature, and for the artist, inspiration in art is derived from the awareness of nature and life. He believes that artists ought to rely on the observation and understanding of life to discover living sensory entities before internally transforming them into subjective emotions, which are expressed as unique forms and substance.
