TSENG Shang-Jie

Artist

TSENG Shang-Jie was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, 1991. He got master's degree in Department of Sculpture, National Taiwan University of Arts. Currently lives and works in Taipei. TSENG Shang-Jie specializes in wood carving. He does not pursue the precise reproduction of the form but tends to reinterpret the spiritual feeling. The artist believes that looking at his three-dimensional works from the perspective of painting can be better expressing his inner perception of the world. The randomness generated by the color of the paint covering the knife marks, as well as the ambiguity of coloring and then engraving, both echoing the artist's cognition of the "subtraction" of sculpture is also an exploration between reality and nihility.

簡介

From the past creations, TSENG has always had a strong interest in “the inner of human”. Whether it is to visualize the subconscious or to express the spirit directly through the human posture, it all about to convey the state of mutual dependence between consciousness and subconsciousness. What derived from it is, how to achieve "balance" in this state. TSENG is inspired by the daily surroundings and has established his own style especially for portraying humanity. For instance, the torsos of human are lengthened, and their skin are left unpolished with wood’s natural rough texture. They appear to be calm and low-key with multiple layers of colors, which represent the mental status of the young generation. He tends to distantly watch the constant change of life.
TSENG’s artworks have a sense of plain beauty. Compared to other fancy artworks, they are much natural so that viewers can stare longer. “Blue Line Swinger” series was exhibited at the artist’s solo exhibition “Trowel” in 2019. When he commuted on the MRT Blue Line during his military service period, he observed the impression of the crowd in the city. Regardless of the character's clothing, expression, or even the current walking posture, he sketched it with a pencil and paper, and then carved it on his sculptures. Afterward TSENG changes the title of this series as “Swinger”, extends the people he described in every corner of the city. The people in motion seem to walk with a certain swinging rhythm. The overall look of the artwork shows a sense of loneliness and alienation, pointing out the souls of the people nowadays.
