Born in 1934 in Beijing, Chuang Che comes from a family of scholars. His father was a well-known calligrapher and curator of the Palace Museum in Beijing. Traditional Chinese painting has remained an inexhaustible source of inspiration throughout Chuang Che’s career.

Chuang Che studied at the Department of Fine Arts at the Taiwan Provincial Normal University. In 1958, he joined the Wuyue Group (Fifth Moon Group), in which he played a major role. In 1966, he received an endowment from the Rockefeller Foundation that enabled him to make his first trip to the United States, where is still lives today.

Chuang Che invented the Third Way, a unique artistic concept that sought to merge Asian and Western aesthetics.
