Born 1975 in Taipei, Taiwan, Tang Jo-Hung currently lives and works in Taipei. He graduated from Department of Fine Arts, Tunghai University in 1998. In 2002, he received his MFA from University of Salamanca in Spain (Máster del Arte de la Universidad de Salamanca), and was granted the prestigious Premio San Marco premiere award in the same year. He received the first prize at the 22nd Kaohsiung Awards in 2005, and Liao Chi-Chun Oil Painting Award in 2008. For Tang, art creation is a process of the symbiosis between the self and the counterpart. It is as if a soul and its double are both looking for a body that it could rest in. The canvas and paints provide the painter the fertile soil to cultivate his artistic seeds in his minds and daily rituals. With his eyes that are sometimes as sharp as those of an eagle and sometimes as innocent as those of a child, the painter watches his painting grow in his hands, allowing him and the self to acquaint amidst the emotional responses and rational judgment. After a magical and eventful journey, voila the spontaneous encounter. － excerpt from Where has he been? Looking at the Self from an “It” Perspective: On Tang Jo-Hung’s Painting by Lin Ping
