Tsong Pu's poetic and abstract paintings are born of careful deliberation and are full of Utopian ideals. He paints grids to expand space, actively roaming through the space he creates in his paintings, and traveling freely between painting and installation art. Creating patterns seen in everyday life, Tsong stresses the necessity of avoiding recognizable imagery, instead focusing on the space between the artwork and the viewers' own abstract thinking to evoke emotional responses. Excellent examples of Tsong Pu's work from each of his creative periods will be on display, including drawings, paintings and installation from 1972 to the present. Works from over forty years comprehensively present the artist's unique style.
