Born in Tokyo and raised in Beijing, Pang formally trained in traditional Chinese calligraphy and brush painting before studying Western oil painting at the prestigious Jinghua College of Art. After moving to Taiwan in 1949, he became a pillar of the region’s modern art movement, ultimately receiving the Chiang Kai-shek Award—the highest national honor for an individual in the arts. In 1966, backed by a grant from the Asia Foundation, Pang emigrated to the United States. His signature style combines fluid, philosophical watercolor washes and traditional ink techniques with structural, abstract space arrangements. Heavily inspired by the dense patterns and vibrant palettes of Tang Dynasty silk embroideries, his botanical and avian compositions are highly sought after by collectors of Mid-Century Asian-American modernism. His works have been featured in over 50 solo exhibitions worldwide and reside in prestigious permanent museum collections.
