Tunghai University-News--Students and Alumni from the Department of Fine Arts of THU Won the 2018 Taiwan Emerging Art Awards
The Taiwan Emerging Art Awards have been encouraging young artists to emerge themselves in creating artwork over the years through hosting exhibitions and giving substantial rewards. The genres of the participating artwork are as diverse as the media—acrylic, mixed media, ink, oil, among others—showing the richness of art and the creativity of the artists.
The 2018 award ceremony was held on July 21, 2018 at Taichung City Seaport Art Center, and many students and alumni from the Department of Fine Arts of Tunghai University have won awards. Liao Min-Jyun, the winner of the Jury Prize, is a lecturer of Tunghai University, who won the first prize of Kaohsiung Art Awards last year. Her artwork, Happy Daily Life (Xingfu de Richang), was made of acrylic sheets and fishing lines. It portrays the process of tracing the path of life by memory in order to find the old days which have been forgotten.
Zhang Cheng-Jun, currently an undergraduate in the Extension Program of the Department of Fine Arts of THU, has also won the Jury Prize. His work titled “Let me do something for you” reflects the culture of elections in Taiwan in a humorous way. He used an electric motor and infrared to create interactions between the artwork and the viewers. Several outstanding alumni from the Department of Fine Arts of THU also received prizes, including Lin Yu-Chen, Huang Zhi-Zheng, Zhang Chun-Rong, and Luo Wen-Yi. Since graduating from THU, Huang Zhi-Zheng has held many exhibitions and has been a resident artist in several different places. His award-winning Negligible series, including three pieces of work, show his unique perspective on the environment and historic artifacts.
To reach out to the community and promote creative arts, the Department of Fine Arts of THU has been organizing Acrylic Paint Summer Camps for 18 years since 2001. The main purpose of the camps is to educate the general public on how to create artworks by using acrylic paint. The coordinator of the summer camps, Professor Lee Chen Huei, has invited Japanese artists to teach advanced classes during the camp every summer. Two-day painting skills workshops and lectures are also organized during the summer program for THU students and alumni to share experience and interact with one another. To build on the summer camp experience, Assistant Professor Lin Yi-Liang was invited to organize an acrylic paint exhibition at Tunghai Unviersity Art Gallery from September 10 to 29, 2018, to provide THU students and alumni with another new opportunity to show their creativity and achievements over the years.
