Never formally trained as a calligrapher, Fung Ming Chip (b. 1971) plays with the calligraphic tradition to explore time, space, and water. Using over 100 different styles of calligraphy, his work expands on the definition of calligraphy. The only thing traditional in his work is the materials: paper, ink, water, and brush. Using traditional materials in a non-traditional calligraphic process, Ming questions what is "Chinese" in which work and what is "contemporary". The process is what is important in his work. In addition to being compositionally rich, his work portraysthe boundless possibilities of calligraphy in the contemporary context.
