蔡雲程是天生的風景畫家,他同時揉合了西方繪畫技巧和中國古典藝術訓練,在一談上締造了許多輝煌的成績,最令世界畫壇矚目的是1990年,他在美國榮獲愛 因斯坦學術基金會和平大獎.這項大獎一像是頒發給政治或宗教的領袖,直到頒發給蔡雲程才突然破例,當時轟動了國際藝壇.1992年獲得英國劍橋國際名人傳 記成就獎,是全球少數獲獎的畫家.1996年,再法國四百年國慶舉辦的魯本斯國際藝術節(百年一屆)中,成為唯一獲獎的華人藝術家...這些輝煌的成就, 都可證明蔡雲程再話人藝術世界中不可取代的地位.因此已故畫家劉其偉Liu Max 讚嘆蔡雲程的成就,在國內是不可多見的.如今蔡雲程逝世,他對藝術的熱情與堅持,並不會被市人所遺忘,他所創作的作品,都留與後人無限追思與懷想.
Chinese-Philipino, 1929-2009
Tsai Yun Cheng was born in Fujian China at 1929, because of his scholarly family; he had cultivated a strong interest in fine arts. He had settled down to Philippines ten years later, his painting however, was not affected by the local culture and the environment. On the contrary, because of World War II, the artistic development had dropped to the bottom; at this point Tsai naturally turned to his root and asked for Chinese art inspiration.
Tsai had his goal of combining the eastern poetic sentiment and the traditional spirit with the west modern painting. He abstracted blue from all colours as his motif and created the poetic blue period of his extraordinary composing journey. He had his creation divided into different phases: the blue phase, which was differentiated into seven kind of blue tones to replace the black five hues of the Chinese water ink. Another important phase is the iron bridge series: by using the dazzling and surreal colour to construct the vividly, powerful and fiercely lines, the streets, the advertisements, and the decorative archways was displayed obviously.
Tsai was an inborn landscape painter; he fused together the west pictorial skill and the Chinese classical art training simultaneously. He was highly praised by the western art commentators and had obtained various influential awards, such as in 1990 the Albert Einstein international Academy Foundation awarded Mr. Chua Hu its Peace Award for appreciating his achievement, he become the first creative artist to receive this award. In 1992, after a series of through evaluations the International Celebrity Biography Centre in Cambridge, England selected him as one of the most representative artists of the 20th century. And in 1996 he was the only Chinese artist who was award Centre Aire Pater Paul Rubens International Festival in France, which hold only once every century. No wander our very treasuries senior painter Liu Max ever admired: ‘Tsai had the accomplishment that no other domestic painter could achieve’.
