Chin-Lung Huang
Chin-Lung, Huang (黃進龍, 1963-) is a Taiwanese painter, professor of College of Arts at National Taiwan Normal University, NTNU (國立臺灣師範大學). Huang grew up in Donggang, Pingtong, a fishing village in southern Taiwan. He has loved painting since his childhood and has been especially skilled in portraying fishing boats and harbor themes. Topped with his personal passion and talent, his solid training in painting during student years has earned him numerous awards. In his senior year at university Huang has already won the first prize of the National Art Exhibition (全國美展) and a permanent exemption from prior screening for watercolor works. After graduation he has won the Medal of Chinese Literature and Arts (中國文藝獎章) from the 38th Chinese Writer's & Artist's Association 中國文藝協會 and the Golden Goblet Award from the Chinese Art Society for his work in watercolor. In recent years Huang has been inspired by the fluid and transforming nature of globalization to use the oriental philosophy familiar to him as his creative source. His paintings demonstrate a unique style rich in oriental charms. The ethereality, elegance, whimsicality, and capriciousness demonstrated in his solo exhibitions “Oriental Lyricism,” “Summit Images of Taiwan,” and “Eastern Wind” embody the sentiments of the Orient.
