達鳳出生於最古老的太巴塱部落邦查,從事木雕創作二十多年,作品以雕工細膩、刀法流暢溫潤著名。不擅言語表達,卻總以溫厚有質地的藝術創作表現對土地、人文的深切感情。自2002年參與東海岸藝術脈絡最重要的事件「意識部落」以來,倚海岸山脈、伴太平洋的風,孕育獨特且充滿人文氣息的創作能量。不輕易出手,一出鞘便曉其刀鋒,此即達鳳作品令人讚嘆之所在。
Tafong was born in the oldest Tabalong village, Pangcah. He has created wooden sculptures for over 20 years, and his work is defined by exquisite carving and smooth knife skills. He is not good at words, but always expresses a deep love for the land and humanity with his gentle and substantive art. Since his 2002 participation in “Tribal Consciousness”, the most important event in the East Coast art scene, the mountains and shores, and Pacific winds have inspired in him a unique and deeply humanistic creative energy. He doesn’t create rashly; but once he does, his skill is apparent. And that is why Tafong’s work is so highly praised.
