Tina Keng Gallery
"A forerunner of Taiwanese modern art, Tina Keng Gallery hinges upon the philosophy that art is a reflection of the times. The Tina Keng Gallery has its roots in the Lin & Keng Gallery (1992–2009) based in Taipei, Taiwan and Beijing, China. Delving into Western abstract painting and Chinese art history, Lin & Keng tirelessly promoted the work of Asian classical masters such as Sanyu, Wu Dayu, Yun Gee, and Zao Wou-Ki, cultivating a critical thought on Greater Chinese modern art.
