Huang Chun-Chia 黃俊嘉
Huang Chun Chia is a seal engraver and a calligrapher, in addition to being an academic at the National Taiwan University of Arts. His focus of research is the historical evolution of Chinese art and calligraphy styles with a special focus on the development of different aesthetic preferences and how these preferences reflect an individual’s interactions with his time, surroundings and stimulations. Huang concludes that a piece of art essentially is a micro representation of the artist and his or her understanding of the world, its history, traditions and everything around them.

Huang’s work incorporates his understanding of history, harmony, beauty and all the values which he believes constitute good art. For instance, in his work “Blossom”, in addition to using his own style of running script to express his aesthetic of balancing each stroke in the character of ‘flower’, Huang also adds a unique element into the composition of this work by using a colourful ink splash technique to render the character ‘flower’ in such a way that it gives the composition a modern feel.
