The art of Tung Ming-Chin stands as a captivating fusion of skill and metaphor, where wood transcends its natural state to echo the complexities of human emotions. His sculptures, polished to perfection, play with our perceptions as they reveal figures seemingly trapped within, striving to break free.
This visual narrative not only showcases Tung’s mastery over his medium but also invites viewers to reflect on the boundaries of the human psyche. Each piece is a journey, a silent dialogue between the art and its audience, where the trapped forms represent our own inner turmoils and the universal desire for liberation. Tung’s work is a profound reminder of the power of art to convey the deepest aspects of the human experience.
Metaphor is an interpretation of the inner space and an expression of imagination. It can not be easily classified as a state of mind with shapes, like feelings, the poetic, time, the conceptual, and the non-visual. It is free imagination which releases the consciousness and explores the world of sub-consciousness. It is a specific state concealing under a hidden space. By covering the inner, certain details will be concealed and simplified. It can be appreciated from an abstract aesthetic point of view.
