Shu Sung-wan Biography
Shu Sung-wan was born in Hong Kong in 1956.
He exhibited great interest in drawing and calligraphy since childhood. Shu studied abroad in Canada and graduated from the University of Guelph, Canada with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1980. He then embarked on a multidimensional pursuit of all things artistic. He was involved in stage design, graphic design, illustration and art direction. He had taught extracurricular activity classes at the Hong Kong Baptist University, as well as evening classes at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Shu has taken up vegetarianism since 1985,adopting the practice as transcendental insights into Beingness for over 34 years. His works won him numerous awards in Hong Kong, New York and the UK. In 2000 he was named by The International Biographical Centre of Cambridge, England as one of the "2000 Outstanding Artists and Designers of the 20th Century." Shu's works were collected by the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and the Taiwan Center, Shaolin and a few renowned temples in China. Recently, his collectors are growing globally from China and Hong Kong to the US and Canada, Australia, UK, France, Italy and India…

The late Chang Dai-ch'ien, legendary virtuoso of modern art, was a close friend of and frequent visitor to the Shu’s family. Chang noticed that little Sung-wan, though with a weak physique resulting from being prematurely born, showed a gifted affinity towards calligraphic constructs, mimicking them with his feeble fingers. With more than 60 years of hard work and experiences, Shu has created a Renaissance for himself and the modern world.

In February 2017, Shu established the Starfish Art Association to promote art by organizing local and international exhibitions for adults and children artists. He is also the founder of Fun Fun Foundation, a charitable organization specially set up to support projects, to help the needy and to give happiness to people.

More recently, Shu has been actively promoting art culture and travels extensively around the world for solo and art exhibitions. There are lots of coverage with TV, radio, newspapers and magazines on him. Shu is drawing the world’s attention and respect!

He is currently Honourable Chairman of the China International Painters, Calligraphers and Collectors Association. In February 2017,Shu established the Starfish Art Association to promote Art by organizing local and international exhibitions for adults and children artists.He is also the founder of Fun Fun Foundation, a charitable organization specially set up to support projects, to help the needy and to give happiness to people.

His Works
Shu primarily works with acrylic paints on canvas, with themes ranging from all living creatures, human characters, life energy and meditative quests.His skills in uniting calligraphy, relief, traditional Chinese realistic painting, and color painting lent a stylistic touch distinctive to himself. Shu would paint after meditation to attain a state of insightful aspiration. His works exhibited an interplay of creativity and grandeur, a consummation of Oriental peaceable spirit, Occidental aesthetic faculties, an avid ambitious energy, and a meticulous finesse, and above all, a trigger into one's own introspection, surpassing the confines of the canvas. Shu has led an eventful expedition in his lifelong quests. With his upbringing and skilful rendition of each brush stroke, his paintings garnered a pensive tranquility of the energy that flows through the universe and all manifestations of life and passion. Shu is a pioneer of Zen Art in Hong Kong.

一個行者往內走的歷程
An inward soul searching journey of a practitioner

一個行者往內走的歷程，鳳凰代表內在光的能量，涅槃其實就是靜心來到圓滿的循環。
存在其實就是靜心的花蕾開花。這不是成就，而是你的最真實相。你可以一直忽視它，但是你不會失去它，它就安坐在你裡面。你一直在外面尋找這個祝福，卻找錯地方。
你找的是出自空無的安全，卻到處尋找名利來代替，外在找不到任何讓生命得以安全和無慮。外面本身就不安全，如何讓你的生命安全，如何讓你的生命安全？如果你信任內在，就會創造出唯一的安逸。

感恩觀自在菩薩的加持，教我在八風中如如不動，那清淨心的慈悲力，讓內心回歸到原始的震律牽引，讓人心溫暖，開拓心量，容天與地。

An inward soul searching journey of a practitioner. Phoenix represents the energy of inner light. Nirvana is when meditation reaches a cycle of perfection. Existence is as buds blooming in meditation. This is not an achicvement, but your truest reality. You could have always ignored them, but you will not lose them, they silently exist inside you. People arc searching outwardly for the blessing, but they are at the wrong direction. The peace you arc looking for is from within...non existent nature, people arc searching everywhere for fame and fortune as substitute. You just can't find anything from the outside world to make life safe and without worry. Outside world is not peaceful by itself. How could it secure your life then? If you have inner trust, you will be able to create peace in one.

A realisation in contemplating at the eye of a cyclone. The inspiration for this masterpiece was casted upon Shu on one early stormy morning. In the eye of a cyclone, all is well and still. It must be the blessing from Above to keep everything calm and clear. Shu was meditating, an image of the Compassionate Bodhisattva was gradually dissolving in at a glimpse of light. Bodhisattva was sitting at case at the center of a cyclone, radiating great energy of peace and compassion, pulling Shu back to the original frequency of nature, warming the heart, broadening the mind for Heaven and earth.
