Wu Chi-Tsung was born in Taipei in 1981, and received his BFA in oil painting from its National University of the Arts in 2004. Initially trained in the traditional Chinese arts of calligraphy, ink painting, watercolour, and drawing, his immense artistic curiosity has led him to experiment with more media in recent years, using installations, film, cyanotype, and many others to explore light and space in more radical ways. He is especially renowned for his ‘Crystal City’ series, where plastic, metal, motors, and carefully refracted LEDs create ethereal worlds of astonishing complexity.
Alongside this, he has garnered international acclaim, with solo exhibitions at the Katonah Museum of Art in New York and Art Basel last year, and standout contributions to the 2021 ‘INK Dreams’ show at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and ‘Into View: New Voices, New Stories’ at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco this year. He has also enjoyed multiple shows and art fair appearances in Hong Kong, where is represented by Galerie du Monde, and others in New York, where he is represented by Sean Kelly. Works by him appear in M+, Hong Kong, LACMA, and the White Rabbit Gallery in Sydney.
