Artist A-Sun Wu believes in wild passion and obsession when creating art. A keen traveler and explorer, he produces works that are full of life and vibrant colors. In recent years, influenced by primitive art, his works have turned towards abstract expressions of geometric totems, winning international fame and critical acclaim. He was one of the "Ten Outstanding Young Persons" in Taiwan, and was the recipient of the "Wu San Lien Awards", "National Awards for Arts", and "Le grade de chevalier dans l'ordre des Arts et des lettres" (The grade of knight in the Order of Arts and Letters). His works can be seen in art museums and private collections around the world, and he is one of Taiwan's most important contemporary artists active internationally.

For a long time, having mastered western painting and sculpture, A-Sun Wu yearned to create a more personal style with Chinese water and ink. In his eyes, water and ink is powerful and full of zen Buddhist meaning. Armed with the philosophy of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, which he has enjoyed since youth, in recent years he again picked up the traditional Chinese brush pen and returned to his roots. After much reflection and experimentation, A-Sun Wu combined the chi [energy flow] and tao [the way] so important in water and ink paintings with his innate "wildness" to present a multi-faceted and three-dimensional Mt. Huangshan. With a vivid and fluid style of "wild ink sketches", he leads the viewer into the stern and grand beauty of nature.

In an artistic life spanning more than 50 years, A-Sun Wu has continued to challenge himself. He has traveled to Africa, South America and the Arctic and sailed the South Pacific. In nature's grandness and wildness he has rid himself of mundane practices and stereotypes, achieving complete creative freedom and experiencing life fully, which also made his wild style of painting, a life-long adherence, all the more vivid and unbridled. As he said himself: "I have lived by the belief in wild passion and obsession throughout my creative life. 'Wild' is commonly understood as 'irrational', or outside of normal boundaries; if one becomes wild, it means losing one's original ideology and living by principles that depart from those of ordinary people. Artistic creation needs to be wild, for if it were dictated by rationality, it could fall into the deep valleys and dead-end alleys of doctrines."

A-Sun Wu believes that only through wild obsession can one transcend the mundane. The exhibition at Xue Xue White, titled "Wild Ink", includes 31 new water and ink paintings and clay urn sculptures. The paintings combine his unique style of primitive wildness, his experience on vast and deserted lands, and the endless travel and self-searching in his life. Through Chinese water and ink paintings and depictions of the genre's most iconic subject, Mt. Huangshan, A-Sun Wu hopes to reach the ideal state of correspondence between man and the universe and rub shoulders with the ancients on a spiritual level.
