Hung Ken-shen is an outstanding modern ink painter in Taiwan, who also dedicates himself to promoting the art development in Kaohsiung. Through his innovative ink paintings, he stays true to his ideals of art, creating an abundance of works of diversified styles. Displaying nearly one hundred representative works of Hung’s since his youth, this exhibition at Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts (http://www.kmfa.gov.tw/KMFAENG/home02.aspx?ID=$1003&IDK=2&EXEC=L) through September 9, 2012, can be said to be the most comprehensive research exhibition of his art. Hung has tried different kinds of themes, ranging from natural landscape to social phenomena, and demonstrated his persistence as an artist in pursuing unlimited possibilities of artistic creation. His works serve as mirrors, reflecting different facets of this ever-changing and absurdity-ridden generation.
