Rewoven Artist: Wen Fu Yu

Wen Fu Yu sits amidst his Giant Bamboo Sculpture Installation
at the Museum Of Contemporary Art in Taipei.
Growing up around his family’s bamboo crafts business, Wen Fu Yu acquired knowledge of traditional craftsmanship at young age, but besides bamboo craft, he has also developed a strong interest in painting, calligraphy and seal carving.

In much of his work, Yu depends on natural materials such as bamboo and feathers to create large-scale installations and environmental art. His work is often familiar in theme, yet infused with imaginative vivacity, encouraging his audience to contemplate those transient elements of our surroundings, such as air, wind, water and time.

Come see what he has in store for our own QCC Art Gallery and its devotees,
