Chu Wei-Kung Art Museum

　　The Chu Wei-Kung Art Museum is located at No. 2, Xishi Lake, Jinshan Township, Taipei County. It is an art museum personally established by local sculptor Chu Wei-Kung. Covering an area of 1.1 hectares, the museum is divided into indoor and outdoor sections. The indoor area primarily features wood carvings, clay sculptures, as well as two-dimensional artworks such as oil paintings, ink wash paintings, and pastel works. It houses a complete collection of over a thousand works created by Chu Wei-Kung throughout various periods of his career, as well as pieces by his mentor Li Jinchuan and the master sculptor Yang Yingfeng. Li Jinchuan, who specialized in temple carving, was Chu Wei-Kung’s mentor in traditional sculpture, while Yang Yingfeng had a profound influence on Chu’s creative vision. The outdoor section mainly displays Chu Wei-Kung’s most iconic “Tai Chi” series and the “Humanity” series, which depict scenes of everyday life. The powerful “Tai Chi” stone sculptures vividly capture postures from Tai Chi movements such as Cloud Hands, Horse Stance, and Single Whip, combining solidity with a sense of fluidity. The “Humanity” series, primarily made of stainless steel, features a variety of expressive and uniquely posed human figures scattered across benches and among rocks, adding a playful touch to the outdoor space.
