Sean Kelly is delighted to announce that the gallery now represents Wu Chi-Tsung.


Wu Chi-Tsung’s innovative work features a broad range of media including photography, video, installation and painting, in which he combines traditional and contemporary forms and methodologies to explore perceptions of the physical and natural worlds. Trained from an early age in the practices of Chinese calligraphy, Chinese ink painting, watercolor and drawing, Wu Chi-Tsung worked for many years in a traditional idiom. Following a period spent creating experimental ink paintings, he turned to video, installation and photography, finding in these new media compelling conceptual stratagems that spurred new and dynamic approaches to making images. These have included films that conceptually translate traditional cut-branch flower paintings into time-based moving images and his recent Cyano-Collage Series, in which he connects Eastern and Western culture and art to integrate traditional aesthetics with startling contemporary language. On joining the gallery Wu Chi-Tsung said, “I’m pleased to be joining Sean Kelly, which has a legendary history and program, featuring amazing artists from all over the world.


Sean Kelly states, “We are delighted that Chi-Tsung is joining the gallery. We included him in a group exhibition this summer and were profoundly impressed by his conceptual and artistic process, in which he combines contemporary techniques and traditional Chinese methods to create a unique amalgamation of different cultures, the past and the present.”



Wu Chi-Tsung currently lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan and Berlin, Germany.


He was the recipient of the Liu Kuo Sung Ink Art Award, Hong Kong and Taiwan (2019). In addition, he was awarded the WRO Media Art Biennal (2013) and Taipei Arts Award (2003). He was short-listed for the Prudential Eye Awards, 2015; the Artes Mundi, 2006. His work has been included in international exhibitions at institutions such as the Mori Art Museum, Japan; National Museum Cardiff, United Kingdom; the Long Beach Museum of Art, Los Angeles; the Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art Contemporain, Luxembourg; the Museo Del Palacio De Bellas Artes, Mexico and the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) Art Museum, Beijing, China; Shanghai Art Museum, China; Seoul Museum of Art, South Korea; Minsheng 21st Century Museum, Shanghai, China; the Museum of Contemporary Art Yinchuan, China; the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, Japan; the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA), Beijing, China; the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taiwan; amongst others. His work is included in renowned collections such as Xie Zilong Photography Museum (XPM), the Post Vidai Collection, M+ Hong Kong, and the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection.
