Tang San was born in S. China in 1963. From an early age Tang had a strong interest in traditional Chinese calligraphy, painting, and the repair and restoration of antique Chinese paintings on both silk and paper. While in China and under the guidance of very accomplished artists, Tang studied and learned the calligraphy and painting styles of the old Chinese masters. After years of broad research of these styles he has developed his own unique style of painting and calligraphy and the combining both forms. His works have won many awards and have been exhibited in China, Japan, and most recently in a one man show sponsored by the Taiwan government in Spring 2005.
