Exerpt from an unknown paper
The works of Chinese artist Tseng-Ying Pang, who came to this country in 1966, will go on exhibit this afternoon for the remainder of the month at the Columbus Museum of Arts and Crafts. A reception will take place from 4-6 p.m. marking the opening.
Mr. Pang is a very serious and sensitive painter and an extremely meticulous worker. He prepares his own paper with great care, a rumpled rice paper that will take the ink washes and paint more effectively. Usually he does not start a work with a definite subject in mind although it would be rare that some aspect of nature was not envisioned by his sub-conscious. He applies color again and again until the emotional demands that are in his heart have been satisfied. He often stops work on one painting and goes on to another, sometimes having four or five paintings in process at one time. He uses four layers of rice paper, glued together with paste, and the texture of the paper itself becomes an integral part of his painting.
