Yuming Sun is a well-known Chinese calligrapher, writer, and photographer. He was born in China and studied at Tsinghua University in the 1980’s. During that time, he served as President of the Tsinghua Calligraphy Society and was a member of the Beijing Calligrapher Association. He immigrated to the US in 1991 and currently serves as the vice-president of the Seven Seas Institute of Chinese Calligraphy.
Trained in traditional Chinese calligraphy, but wanting to add his own unique twist, Yuming Sun explored new contemporary ways to let ancient calligraphic art breathe.
First, he uses a dense composition instead of the traditional balanced columns and space. He applies this technique to every script, especially on bronze scripts. With characters connecting to each other, and brush strokes beyond the ordinary square space, he creates a new artistic freedom with an innovative visual effect.
Secondly, he introduces the layer concept to calligraphy. With overlapping thick and light inks, sometimes even combining with dropping colors, he generates not only a special visual effect, but also creates different moods within the artworks. Finally, he utilizes repeated characters to form creating shapes within his works.
Yuming Sun is also a master of seal engraving. In 2021, Xiling Seal Engraver's Society, a prestigious institute in the seal engraving field, published his solo seal album with more than 120 seal artworks. http://www.sunyuming.com
