+ OVERVIEW

As the son of a renowned woodcarving master, Huang Po-ren acquired carving skills and three-dimensional concept in the very early age. However, he was not content to be another successful woodcarver. His innate artistic gift and desire for creation drove him to explore the art world and became an outstanding sculptor.

With delicate lines and sheer facets, Huang Po-ren rendered pithy forms of his subjects. Complexity was abandoned to bring out the spirit and characters of the creatures.

Looking deeper into Huang Po-ren's works, we realized that Confucianism is the basic principle that runs through his recent works. The idea of Confucianism emphasizes cultivating one's moral character, which is then extended to accomplish a good household, a good nation, and finally achieve a peaceful world.
