Haywen

T'ang Haywen, a painter of Chinese origin, found his artistic path in Paris, where he lived and worked.

His early works, mostly figurative, include portraits and landscapes made in oil or acrylic. However, from the mid-1950s, he turned to ink and developed a unique style, in particular through the use of numerous washes presented in the form of diptychs and triptychs.

“In the West, painters tended to crystallize their works in a specific space, with a central core. The easiest way to break this crystallization is to get to the heart of the phenomenon: a cell nucleus multiplies by division.” T'ang Haywen

Calligraphy, taught by her grandfather, plays an essential role in T'ang Haywen's art. He integrates this technique into his work, creating a fusion between Chinese aesthetic and spiritual principles and Western abstract expressionism. This hybridization is reflected in his fluid compositions, where calligraphic gestures meet the spontaneous expressions of abstraction.

T'ang Haywen's work represents an exploration of the encounter between East and West, offering a dialogue between different artistic and philosophical traditions. His creations evoke a subtle harmony between spontaneity and mastery, erasure and expression, inviting viewers to deep and meditative contemplation.
