ANTHONY TUNGNING HUANG
Anthony TungNing Huang is a Taiwanese American artist. Born in Taipei and raised in Shanghai, China, he received his BA in journalism from the East China University of Political Science and Law in 2014. After working as a professional ballroom dancer and theater producer in Shanghai, he moved to the United States. He first lived in Los Angeles, California, and then earned his first MFA in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design. In 2024, he received his second MFA in Studio Art, focusing on Printmaking, at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. In July 2024, he moved to Dallas, TX, to begin his teaching career as a full-time professor of Printmaking and Drawing at Dallas College.
Huang began printmaking in 2020 and became enamored with the charm of the traditional print processes. The Daoist philosophy influenced his artistic practice – Wu Wei. He's trying to use the idea of Wu Wei to rethink the relationship between urban space and the natural world and how it can create a spiritual sublimation for urban citizens.
Artist Statement
In the quiet spaces between the bustling rhythms of existence, I find solace. My artistic journey as a printmaker is a solitary pilgrimage through the intricate tapestry of life, where every brushstroke, every etching, is a whispered conversation with the universe.
My art is a refuge—a sanctuary nestled within the intricate complexities of nature. Each piece explores my perception of the world and the role I play within its grand tapestry. In the subtle whispers of the wind's path, the gentle flow of water, and the rhythmic dance of the seasons, I uncover small treasures, offering solace in a world often besieged by chaos.
Guided by the ancient wisdom of Daoist philosophy, particularly the principle of 無為 (Wu Wei), I strive to embody the art of effortless action. Wu Wei teaches us to let go of our desire to control and instead flow with the natural order of things. In this state, I find sanctuary, where the self merges with the sublime, and the spirit wanders in boundless introspection.
Through the transformative power of art, I invite both audience and artist to experience the meditative state of "flow," where the ceaseless chatter of the mind is silenced. Drawing from the concept of 游觀 (travel and observation), I aim to transport viewers to realms beyond their immediate surroundings, fostering a deeper connection to the natural world.
By blending these timeless concepts with contemporary art, I aspire to provide moments of respite and spiritual elevation for urban dwellers inundated by the hustle of city life.
