鄧卜君(1957-)

TENG Pu-Chun

Different from the elegance embodied by traditional literati painters, his work displays a sense of individual carefreeness; in particular, the unique technique of "rolled wrinkle strokes" created by himself has formed a unique vocabulary of modern magical ink painting.His fantastical and illusory representation seems to transport viewers to a surreal, magical realm of contemporary landscape beyond what is seen by the naked eyes.

Teng Pu-Chun’s “Landscape of Turbulence”

By and large, although this painting is titled Tribute to Ni Zan, it is in fact a stage of continuous changes, with interlacing images of objects, both realistic and imaginary.

Landscape in Disguised Form – Painting the Mysterious Realm with Archaistic Imitation and Sacred Offering

Therefore, on the relatively enclosed east coast of this southern island on the Pacific Ocean, facing the boundless sea with rising mountains at the back, the ethereal world emerging from the artist’s incessant ink strokes on paper is like the vicissitudinous images as well as the epitomic pictures of the disguised ink landscape.

Regarding Nature as a Teacher: The Traditional and the Contemporary in TENG Pu-Chun's Painting

If the purpose of admiring landscape painting is to perceive nature, or even to be imaginatively transported into the landscape created by painters and to wander in it, Teng's work can surely offer an extraordinary journey for the spectators.

Magical Vision—Re-inscribing Space in TENG Pu-Chun's Ink Painting

Naturally, throughout the vicissitudes of time, ink painting no longer aims to express one's emotions and sentiments through landscape or to seek consolation for one's unsuccess by living a secluded life in nature. Instead, the goal is to accumulate and cultivate the modern spirit on the foundation of the tradition.
Text by Emerson Wang (Art critic and curator of Rock the Dream, Spirit of Ink)

Teng Pu-Chun's Transforming Rock Landscape: Allegorical Scenes of Illusion

From his delicate brushstroke to the hollowness expressed by the artistic mood, from his reserved colors to the splendid ones, from the breathing rhythm and vital spirit of the mountain rocks, Teng's mastery of the persistent transformation of mountain rocks conveys a sense of exactness as well as a dreamlike atmosphere, recapturing the spiritual realm where our dreams reside that is between universal memory and cultural memory.

編碼心景：風景即事件

「風景」，從來不是純粹的自然。作為人對於自然的審美經驗，風景在性質上，總是文化的與人文的。
