Chu Tat-shing (朱達誠; born 1942) is a Chinese sculptor and visual artist.[1] He is known for his sculpture of Bruce Lee at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum.[2] He has also made sculptures of Sun Yat-sen on display in Hong Kong and Hawaii.[3][4] The sculptures at the SARS Memorial in Hong Kong Park were made by him.[5][6][7]

Background[edit]

Chu Tat-shing was born in Wuhan, China. He graduated from the Department of Sculpture of the Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in Wuhan in 1965. In 1978, he began graduate work at the Department of Sculpture of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. After completing his work there, he returned to the Hubei Institute of Fine Arts where he became head of the sculpture art studio. He migrated to Hong Kong in 1984, where he is a member of the Hong Kong Sculpture Society. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the Hong Kong Artists Association, and as the Chairman of the Board of the Artist Commune. He has taught for the University of Hong Kong and for the Chinese University of Hong Kong in their extramural programs. He has also helped lead the China Artists Association, the Beijing Artists Association, and the China Sculpture Institute.[8][9][10][11] He has also instructed a workshop for the Hong Kong Museum of Art.[12]

He has made sculptures for HongKong Land, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.[13][14][15]

Awards[edit]

In 2007, the government of Hong Kong awarded Chu Tat-shing the Medal of Honour.[16][17][18]

The Hong Kong Government Logistics Department published a document recording the award. "Mr. CHU Tat-shing" is listed on page five.[19]

Bruce Lee[edit]

Bruce Lee at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum

In 2013, Chu Tat-shing's 3.5 meter sculpture of Bruce Lee in a side-kick pose was put on display at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum as part of the Exhibition "Bruce Lee: Kung Fu . Art . Life".[20][21][22][23] Originally displayed inside, it now stands outside the entrance.[24]

A documentary about making and installing this piece is called: "Behind-The-Scene: Bruce Lee Sculpture".[25]

A peer-reviewed journal article about this statue was published in Chinese Semiotic Studies in 2022.[26]

Sun Yat-sen[edit]

In 2006, a statue of Sun Yat-sen as a young man by Chu Tat-shing was unveiled at the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum in Hong Kong.[27][28][29][30]

In 2007, the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, renamed "Chinatown Gateway Park" to "Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park" and dedicated a statue of Sun Yat-sen at age 13, made by Chu Tat-shing.[31][32] The pose has one hand holding books and the other touching them.[33] This park was reopened after renovations in 2022.[34] The statue of Sun Yat-sen was moved to the center of the park.[35]

A second statue by Chu Tat-shing of Sun Yat-sen as a 13-year-old is at the ʻIolani School in Hawaii. The pose has one hand holding books and the other at his side.[36] This sculpture is featured in a video made by the school.[37]

Both statues are described in an article by the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Foundation of Hawaii.[38]

In 2010, the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park in Hong Kong, having completed renovations, reopened featuring another statue of Sun Yat-sen by Chu Tat-shing.[39][40][41] In a video interview Chu Tat-Shing talks about his sculpture in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park (Starts at 2:16).[42][43]

Another Sun Yat-sen sculpture stands in the Zhongshan Warship Museum (中山舰博物馆) in Wuhan, China.

In 2022, Chu Tat-shing gave a lecture about Sun Yat-sen at the Hong Kong Baptist University.[44]
